Abstract

PurposeThere is a dearth of literature on what are the factors in terms of leaders’ and followers’ characteristics that impact innovation at the country level. The purpose of this paper is to build theoretical argument and provide empirical evidence of these factors using a cross-cultural mode of study across 56 nations.Design/methodology/approachThe Bayesian modelling technique is used on data from the GLOBE survey.FindingsInnovation at the individual, team and organisational levels has generally been associated with the relationship-motivated leadership, as opposed to task-motivated leadership. This study confirms that this premise holds at the societal level of analysis as well. The second finding is that in terms of followers’ cultural characteristics, out of three variables (power distance, collectivism and performance orientation) tested, only power distance orientation is found to have a predictive relationship with aggregate innovation. The moderator slope analysis unveils a nuanced understanding of how the interaction between leadership styles and followers’ cultural traits impact national innovativeness.Research limitations/implicationsCulture and leadership configurations that bolster innovation need to be studied more thoroughly.Practical implicationsThis study has implications for multi-country teams involved in research and development activities.Originality/valueTo our knowledge, this is the first study to unpack leader−follower relationships as predictors of national innovation. A leadership-culture fit perspective is advanced.

追随者实践是国家创新的决定因素:一项跨越56种文化的研究
关于影响国家层面创新的领导者和追随者特征的因素缺乏文献。本文的目的是通过跨文化研究模式在56个国家建立理论论证并提供这些因素的经验证据。设计/方法/方法贝叶斯建模技术用于全球调查的数据。个人、团队和组织层面的创新通常与关系激励型领导有关,而不是任务激励型领导。这项研究证实,这一前提也适用于社会层面的分析。第二个发现是在追随者文化特征方面,在被测试的三个变量(权力距离、集体主义和绩效取向)中,只有权力距离取向与总创新有预测关系。调节斜率分析揭示了领导风格和追随者文化特质之间的相互作用如何影响国家创新的微妙理解。研究局限/启示支持创新的文化和领导结构需要更深入的研究。实际意义本研究对参与研发活动的多国团队具有启示意义。原创性/价值据我们所知,这是第一个将领导者-追随者关系作为国家创新预测因素的研究。提出了领导文化契合度的观点。

期刊介绍: The journal addresses a broad range of topics which are relevant to organizations and reflective of societal developments. Public and private sector organizations alike face ongoing pressure to streamline activities, improve efficiency and achieve demanding organizational objectives. In this context, the ability of senior managers to understand the culture and dynamics of organizations and to deliver strong leadership during periods of change, could be the difference between organizational failure and success.
