“…Age, gender, work experience, and education were chosen as control variables because they accurately reflect the respondents' compositional situation. For the inclusion of these controls, we followed the advice of previous researchers (Adewale and Mustapha, 2015;Allena-Ozolina and Bazbauers, 2017). According to their hypothesis, the aforementioned controls will have a positive significant impact on human behavior.…”

PurposeDrawing on the growing emphasis in the literature on the importance of creativity in the workplace, the present study examines the effect of personal and organizational level factors that influences employee creativity. Precisely, we examine how grit, work engagement, person-organization fit, and feedback influence creativity in the workplace.Design/methodology/approachWe sampled data from 422 research assistants who are professional workers at top-notch Universities in China. They were recruited to participate in the survey through an online medium known as WeChat. We empirically tested the effect of grit, work engagement, person-organization fit, and feedback on employee creativity. These hypotheses were supported by confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis, and path analysis.FindingsThe results show that work engagement strengthens the relationship between grit and creativity. In addition, the results proved that person-organization fit positively moderates the link between grit and work engagement. Feedback also had a positive mediating effect on the link between work engagement and creativity.Practical implicationsBased on the appropriateness of an individual work environment, a gritty person will likely become engaged and creative with task execution. Consequently, a person’s organizational fit will strongly interact with grit, work engagement, and creativity.Originality/valueWe shed light on the blended value of personal and organizational-level factors that positively affect creativity in the workplace. Specifically, grit being both a personal and organizational factor influences employee creativity via work engagement. This research explored the effect of work engagement as a mechanism that serves as a motivational feature enhancing creativity. We also simultaneously identify the moderation conditions of person-organization fit and feedback. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed in detail. The study makes a theoretical contribution through its assessment of the impact of grit on employee creativity. The trait activation theory portrays how grit can be expressed through feedback and person-organization fit. In terms of practice, grit can be an important consideration in hiring decisions, and feedback should be given to make the workplace more creative.

“…Public finances, especially in developing economies, have limited sufficiency, which was and is a significant barrier to the creation of innovation [28][29][30]. This imbalance of commercial and state potential can also seriously limit the sharing of knowledge and technology [80][81][82][83][84][85] and inhibit the development of open innovation useful for the development of local and regional communities [31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. For this reason, the recommendation would be to raise awareness of the role of sharing intellectual resources through selected elements of innovation policy and the national innovation system, especially since such a policy-according to the literature-promotes social and economic development [11,12].…”

“…The effectiveness and efficiency of the innovation system depends on many internal and external conditions [81]. The key one is access to knowledge and technologies and their level of advancement [82,83]. The economic situation, including the availability of financial resources and the competitiveness of the economy, is also not without significance.…”

Transfer and diffusion of knowledge and technology is a key condition for the development of innovation. In practice, they take place at the interface between science and business, which makes the level of innovation and development of a given economy depend on the effectiveness and efficiency of universities and other scientific units co-creating the national innovation network. With this important circumstance in mind, this article presents an assessment of the operations of selected research institutes in Poland in 2014–2019 in the context of pro-efficiency statutory changes aimed at making the commercialization of research and development results more effective. The multiple case study used in the article includes five units operating in the field of environmental protection (two) and energy (three)—sectors relevant to the transformation of the national energy sector. The research analyzes the sources of funding of the institutes’ operations, their profitability and the financial effectiveness of their scientific and research staff. The results of the research indicate the adaptability of the surveyed institutes to the new rules of financing and the possibility of their wider than previously opening to business relations, as well as at least partial independence from budget financing. This is a valuable observation from the perspective of shaping innovation policy and the principles of operation of the national innovation system in developing economies.

“…También, en la gestión de fondos de financiamiento se presentan cambios disruptivos, reprocesos y errores que producen el comportamiento dinámico de los ciclos de retroalimentación, los cuales a su vez provocan retardos y perturbaciones en las organizaciones (Ansari, 2019). Es así como, existe la necesidad de combinar recursos humanos, capacidad institucional, infraestructura y recursos financieros para dar respuesta a los retardos previamente mencionados (Allena-Ozolina & Bazbauers, 2017). Desde las IES públicas, los retardos se presentan en el acceso a diferentes fuentes de financiamiento e inversión en competencias core.…”
