The Mediating Effect of Eco-Innovation between Motivation and Organization Performance in Jordan Industrial Estates Company in Jordan

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of motivation on organization performance in Jordan Industrial Estate Company (JIEC) in Jordan, the mediating role of eco-innovation. Resource Based View theory (RBV) highlighted the role of Motivation in achieving the high organization performance. A quantitative approach and simple random sampling were used to obtain data via questionnaire from 381 employees from different level of JIEC, the response rate was 74.8%. SEM was employed to analyses the study variables. The results shows that the direct effect of motivation and eco-innovation on organization performance are significant at a p-value 0.050 and 0.000 for motivation and eco-innovation respectively and eco-innovation mediates the relationship between motivation and organization performance, with a partial mediating effect. This paper contribute to theory by filling the gap of eco-innovation literature in developing countries, validate eco-innovation as a mediator variable between motivation and organization performance. This study recommended for further studies about eco-innovation in developing countries particularly in Jordan, and repeat the same study to ensure the validate the study model.

Critical network factors for eco‐innovation in manufacturing: A Delphi study from a triple helix perspective

“…During the second round, the most perceived factor was leadership support by top management ( M5 ), as selected by 109 out of the 116 (94.0%) experts, while the least perceived factor was normative pressures by governments related to the issue of legitimacy ( M13 ), as selected by 11 out of the 116 (9.5%) experts. Both factors belong to the motivational orientation, which determines the nature of configurational and transformational orientations (Alhyasat et al, 2018; Baker et al, 2011). Understanding the nature of the interplay between network orientations for eco‐innovation remains a challenge for research due to the increasing complexity of involving manufacturers in collaborations such as Steelanol project and the Plant PET Technology Collaborative.…”

“…Figure 1 summarises the research's main findings, and the next subsections discuss the theoretical and managerial implications, limitations and potential future research directions. (Alhyasat et al, 2018;Baker et al, 2011).…”

The role of big data analytics and organizational agility in improving organizational performance of business processing organizations

“…However, in general, OP is measured in terms of organizational growth, development, results, throughputs, output and outcomes against their settings, goals and objectives (Sarmawa et al, 2020). Additionally, many social, emotional, psychological, moral and ethical aspects play a critical role in determining OP (Alhyasat et al, 2018;Berberoglu, 2018).…”
