“…The rapid development of information technologies and their extensive applications such as big data, artificial intelligence and the internet of things, has brought dramatic changes to China's economy and also created great opportunities for entrepreneurs in China to start their own businesses (Ma et al, 2018;Ma et al, 2019). The Chinese government has also approved "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" as a national policy to encourage more innovation and entrepreneurial activities.…”

“…The Chinese government has also approved "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" as a national policy to encourage more innovation and entrepreneurial activities. In today's China, entrepreneurship is not only a powerful economic engine to promote the growth of creativity and innovation but also gradually becomes a fashion (Ma et al, 2018). Compared with established firms, entrepreneurial startups are facing more dynamic and often uncertain situations along with underdeveloped legal and financial systems, unpredictable market demand, rapidly changing technology and a hyper-competitive environment (Brouwer, 2000).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate how a team leader’s conflict management style (CMS) affects team innovation performance (TIP) in entrepreneurial teams using a team emotion perspective. Design/methodology/approach It is proposed in this study that team passion mediates the impact of team leader’s CMSs on team performance, which is further moderated by team emotional intelligence (TEI). Then this study collected paired data from 105 teams including 105 team leaders and 411 team members to test the proposed model. Findings The results show that a team leader’s cooperative CMS has a significant positive impact on TIP and team passion further mediates the relationship between the team leader’s CMSs and TIP. The results also show that TEI moderates the relationship between the leader’s CMSs and team passion. Originality/value This study helps enriches the literature of conflict management by exploring the mechanisms through which a team leader’s CMSs affect team performance in entrepreneurial activities, and the findings of this study highlight the important role of team passion in this process. In addition, this study integrates the research on conflict management and the research on team passion in entrepreneurial teams to provide a new perspective to explore the dynamic process of entrepreneurial activities, which sheds light on the investigation of the important implications of effective conflict management in the entrepreneurship.

“…Members who grew up under Chinese traditional education are used to obeying the orders of leaders, even though the current working environment encourages teamwork and reduces the power distance. China is a high power distance society ( Ma Z. et al, 2018 ), and employees accustomed to the commanding work style of leaders. Employees think that leaders have the right to dominant and order them and accept the competitive conflict management style of leaders when confront conflicts.…”

From the emotional perspective, this study explores how team leader’s conflict management styles affect team passion. A theoretical model is constructed which describes the mediating role of positive team emotional climate and the moderating impact of team emotional intelligence. We collect 101 teams paired data including 101 team leaders and 383 team members to test theoretical model. It is shown that leader’s cooperative conflict management style has a significant positive effect on both positive team emotional climate and team passion. Meanwhile, positive team emotional climate plays a mediating role between leader’s cooperative conflict management style and team passion. In addition, team emotional intelligence has a moderating effect between leader’s cooperative style and positive team emotional climate. This study not only provides a new perspective for follow-up research but also expands the research scope of impacts of conflict management styles. In addition, this study forms the underlying mechanism of team leader’s conflict management styles on team passion from the emotional perspective and investigates the mediating effect and moderating effect of emotional variable, which broadens the research on the mechanisms of conflict management styles on team outcomes to a certain extent.

“…Individuals with high personalities can be organically created through the development of social capital in a universal style Ullah, et al [27]. Ma, et al [28] noted that "from an entrepreneur's perspective, it is easy to conjecture that social capital provides entrepreneurs with a special network that facilitates the discovery of technical opportunities, as well as the identification, collection, and allocation of scarce resources by assisting with the entrepreneurial exploitation process in providing and diffusing critical information or resources, which consequently leads to more innovation and superior performance". According to the research on the importance of social capital in the creation of innovation [29][30][31][32][33] it was found that most innovation activities require social capital [31,33].…”

Entrepreneurship is seen as a crucial component of any nation's economic progress. The most significant predictor of entrepreneurship is thought to be the entrepreneurial intention. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the variables that shape entrepreneurial intent. The purpose of this study is to investigate how social capital and innovativeness, two significant predictors of entrepreneurial intention, interact to determine the entrepreneurial intention of polytechnic students from the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. A questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale was completed by 261 polytechnic students (214 male,47 female) from six polytechnic (5 Govt,1 Private) colleges across Arunachal Pradesh. The structure model was examined using structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis in SPSS AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structure), and bootstrap confidence intervals were computed to test the mediating role. The findings showed that both social capital and innovativeness have a significant positive impact on entrepreneurial intention, and innovativeness partially mediates the association between social capital and entrepreneurial intention. Our study's findings have significant ramifications for vocational educators because they show that emphasizing the importance of social capital and innovativeness might increase polytechnic students' likelihood to become entrepreneurs.
