Abstract

Purpose

This study investigates the impact of personal, organisational and innovation capability on technological innovation and further impacts on small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs') performance during uncertainty. Moreover, the moderator role of social sustainability orientation on the relationships of technological innovation, innovation performance and organisational resilience is also examined.

Design/methodology/approach

A quantitative approach using 524 SME responses and Smart PLS 4.0 are adopted in this research.

Findings

The results indicate a correlation between three types of capabilities with technological innovation and further conversion to organisational resilience. Additionally, social sustainability shows a negative moderating effect between innovation performance and organisational resilience. The research findings advanced the resources-based-view (RBV) by proposing three capability dimensions as platforms for SMEs' innovation success, which later generate resilience possibilities. Specifically highlighted in this study are the personal capabilities of managers, organisational capabilities and innovation capabilities in setting business objectives and resource allocation towards economic and sustainable goals during turbulence and uncertainty.

Originality/value

This study investigates the role of technological innovation and innovation on SME resilience. Notably, we deploy the social sustainability orientation as moderators towards the relationship between technological innovation, innovation performance and SMEs’ resilience. SMEs employing social sustainability orientation might negatively inhibit the translation from innovation performance to SME resilience, providing novel insights into navigating uncertainty in modern business. It has no effect on the relationship between technological innovation and its consequences.

揭示技术创新和中小企业复原力的影响:企业的社会可持续性导向的调节作用
目的 本研究探讨了个人能力、组织能力和创新能力对技术创新的影响,以及在不确定情况下对中小企业绩效的进一步影响。研究结果研究结果表明,三种能力与技术创新之间存在相关性,并进一步转化为组织复原力。此外,社会可持续性在创新绩效和组织复原力之间显示出负调节作用。研究结果推进了基于资源的观点(RBV),提出了三个能力维度,作为中小企业创新成功的平台,随后产生了复原力的可能性。本研究特别强调了管理者的个人能力、组织能力以及在动荡和不确定情况下制定业务目标和资源分配以实现经济和可持续目标的创新能力。值得注意的是,我们将社会可持续发展导向作为技术创新、创新绩效和中小企业应变能力之间关系的调节因素。采用社会可持续发展导向的中小企业可能会消极地抑制创新绩效向中小企业应变能力的转化,从而为现代企业如何应对不确定性提供了新的见解。它对技术创新及其后果之间的关系没有影响。

期刊介绍: The subject of innovation is receiving increased interest both from companies because of their increased awareness of the impact of innovation in determining market success and also from the research community. Academics are increasingly beginning to place innovation as a priority area in their research agenda. This impetus has been partly fuelled by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) who have designated innovation as one of nine research areas in their research initiative schemes.
