This study investigated the moderating effect of collectivism as a national culture on the interaction between organizational culture (measured in terms of clan, adhocracy, market, and hierarchy cultures) and commitment in the context of SMEs. A total of 1200 questionnaire surveys were delivered to 155 SMEs, of which 356 were deemed valid. The hypotheses were tested using a hierarchical multiple regression analysis. According to the findings of the study, a significantly positive relationship between organizational culture and commitment was discovered, and collectivism, as a national culture, moderates this relationship significantly. This study offers several recommendations for future research in this field. SMEs should prioritize the development of a better culture to generate a higher level of organizational commitment. Future scholars could use additional organizational contextual components as mediating or moderating variables to explore the association between organizational culture and commitment.

This research examines the intricate relationships between artificial intelligence (AI)-induced job insecurity, psychological safety, knowledge-hiding behavior, and self-efficacy in AI learning within organizational contexts. As AI technologies increasingly permeate the workplace, comprehending their impact on employee behavior and organizational dynamics becomes crucial. Based on several theories, we use a time-lagged research design to propose and test a moderated mediation model. We collected data from 402 employees across various industries in South Korea at three different time points. Our findings reveal that AI-induced job insecurity positively relates to knowledge-hiding behavior, directly and indirectly, via reduced psychological safety. Moreover, we discover that self-efficacy in AI learning moderates the relationship between AI-induced job insecurity and psychological safety, such that high self-efficacy buffers the harmful influence of job insecurity on psychological safety. These results enhance the existing literature on organizational technological change by clarifying the psychological processes through which AI implementation influences employee behavior. Our study highlights the critical role of psychological safety as a mediator and self-efficacy as a moderator in this process. These insights present significant implications for managers and organizations navigating the challenges of AI integration. They emphasize the need for strategies that foster psychological safety and enhance members’ confidence in their ability to adapt to AI technologies. Our research underscores the significance of considering both the technical and human aspects of AI implementation within organizational contexts.

Entrepreneurship accelerates a country's economy due to its great contribution to community welfare. In the context of sustainability, green entrepreneurial behaviour is beneficial, since it reduces environmental causalities. Small businesses, however, are seen as culprits, causing damage to the environment. Rapid changes in business dynamics emphasize the need for sustainable entrepreneurship which ensures environmental and social sustainability. This study extends current body of knowledge by introducing transformative innovation as a mediator in light of the normative dimension in which entrepreneurs are actors responsible for bringing change to systems through collective behaviour. In a sample of Chinese manufacturing entrepreneurs, the study reveals that the knowledge management process and green entrepreneurial intention are positively linked to green entrepreneurial behaviour. It also shows that transformative innovation is positively related to green entrepreneurial behaviour. Finally, it confirms that transformative innovation is a significant mediator. The study provides guidance for policymakers establishing policies related to achieving green entrepreneurial behaviour using effective knowledge management processes and transformative innovation.

The advent of the digital era has transformed the way businesses create, compete, and maintain their existence, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. To maintain resilience in the ever-changing business landscapes of today, especially in emerging economies, businesses utilize dynamic information technology capabilities (DITC) to cultivate organizational capacities that foster innovation. This article argues that Dynamic Information Technological Capabilities (DITC) allows companies to develop flexible and adaptive skills to foster innovation. The results from 684 Brazilian businesses showed that implementing DITC improved their ability to come up with both new ideas and ways to use existing ones. This was possible because DITC improved the firms' dynamic and improvisational skills. The post hoc analysis of FIMIX PLS and PLS-POS reveals that DITC plays a greater role in fostering innovation through dynamic capabilities (DCs) rather than improvisational capabilities. The research on unobserved heterogeneity showed that a high level of DITC hasBig and strong effects on developing dynamic and improvisational skills for coming up with new ambidexterity ideas. The results indicated that companies should integrate the potential of digital technology and information to establish organizational capacities that can effectively compete within developing economies.

Purpose
This study aims to provide a state-of-the-art review of the literature on Knowledge Hiding (KH), focusing on its inherent knowledge structure (i.e. intellectual, social, and conceptual structure). This study also presents an integrative synthesis of previous research and highlights knowledge gaps and limitations for further knowledge advancement in this field.
Methodology
The systematic literature review approach was used to identify, select, and review the extant KH literature. For analysis, we employed a hybrid technique that combines quantitative and qualitative methods. In the first phase, we conducted quantitative bibliometric analyses (using VOS viewer and Biblioshiny in R-Studio) to highlight the state of the research profile. In the second phase, we utilise the ADO-TCM framework to synthesise the current literature into key themes, followed by the proposal of future research trajectories.
Results
Our findings in the first phase highlighted the current research profile of KH in terms of publication timeline, relevant journals, utilised methods, top contributing authors, affiliations, and countries. In addition, our first-phase findings revealed the knowledge structure of KH research: intellectual structure (i.e. influential authors, influential studies, and citation analysis), social structure (i.e. collaborating authors, institutions, and countries), and conceptual structure (i.e. co-citation analysis, keyword co-occurrences, and thematic mapping). In the second phase, we discuss the KH literature and propose a future research agenda regarding antecedents, decisions, and outcomes (ADO) and theories, contexts, and methods (TCM) frameworks.
Future Research / Implications
By offering a knowledge database of existing literature and building a solid foundation for future research, this study is anticipated to inspire academics and researchers to expand the literature on this topic and theoretically develop the field. Additionally, it creates a strong argument for businesses to acknowledge the presence of KH and assess the risks, advantages, and drawbacks of this phenomenon in order to make wise decisions.

Despite the increasing adoption of digital technology, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) continue to lag behind larger firms. This study integrates the technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework with Rogers’ diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory to investigate the factors influencing SMEs’ digital technology adoption. Data from 419 SMEs was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), followed by artificial neural network (ANN) analysis to rank the importance of the variables identified.
The PLS-SEM results show that technological, organizational, and environmental factors directly impact adoption. The supported variables include adoption costs, top management support, human resources, digital culture, and trading partner pressure. Some factors indirectly impact adoption through top management support. This study also found that SMEs’ international orientation moderates the relationship between digital culture and adoption behavior. The ANN results identify that the most important predictors, ranked from the most to the least influential, are digital culture, international orientation, top management support, trading partner pressure, human resources, and adoption costs.
This research contributes to the theoretical discourse on technology adoption by integrating the TOE framework with Rogers’ DOI theory. It highlights that no single TOE element functions in isolation. The findings provide practical guidance for SME managers, stressing the need to improve organizational factors, such as, human resources, digital culture, and top management support. Governments may use these findings to identify ways to support SMEs’ digital technology adoption, particularly by offering subsidies to reduce costs, which remain a barrier.
尽管采用数字技术的企业越来越多，但中小型企业（SMEs）仍然落后于大型企业。本研究将技术、组织和环境（TOE）框架与罗杰斯的创新扩散（DOI）理论相结合，探讨影响中小企业采用数字技术的因素。研究使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）对 419 家中小企业的数据进行了分析，然后使用人工神经网络（ANN）分析对所识别变量的重要性进行排序。支持变量包括采用成本、高层管理支持、人力资源、数字文化和贸易伙伴压力。一些因素通过高层管理支持间接影响了采用情况。本研究还发现，中小企业的国际定位调节了数字文化与采用行为之间的关系。ANN 结果表明，最重要的预测因素从影响最大到影响最小依次为数字文化、国际导向、高层管理支持、贸易伙伴压力、人力资源和采用成本。这项研究将 TOE 框架与罗杰斯的 DOI 理论相结合，对技术采用的理论探讨做出了贡献。研究强调，没有任何一个 TOE 元素是孤立运作的。研究结果为中小企业管理者提供了实际指导，强调了改善人力资源、数字文化和高层管理支持等组织因素的必要性。各国政府可以利用这些发现来确定支持中小企业采用数字技术的方法，特别是通过提供补贴来降低成本，因为成本仍然是一个障碍。

The existing literature on SME internationalization has inadequately integrated joint innovation capabilities, organizational unlearning, and the internationalization process. Previous studies have primarily examined these concepts separately, obscuring their interconnection and reciprocal impact. This study fills in a gap in the literature and responds to calls for more studies (e.g., Du, Zhu & Li, 2023; Genc, Dayan & Genc, 2019) by developing and testing a moderated mediation model to examine how joint innovation capabilities affect exploratory innovation through the mediating role of organizational unlearning. The research also examines the moderating effect of the degree of internationalization on this relationship. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 300 logistics and general managers from SMEs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), utilizing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the measurement models' validity and reliability, and to test the hypothesized relationships. The results demonstrate that organizational unlearning is a key mechanism linking collaborative innovation capabilities with exploratory innovation. Additionally, the degree of internationalization significantly moderates this relationship, with a stronger mediation effect when internationalization is low. These findings provide practical implications for SMEs and managers, especially in overseeing innovation and unlearning processes while accounting for the degree of internationalization in their growth strategies. Managers in SMEs must recognize the complexities introduced by internationalization, such as diverse cultural norms and regulatory frameworks, which can impede the process of unlearning. To address these challenges, SMEs should consider adopting region-specific innovation strategies or investing in cross-cultural training to effectively manage the integration of diverse knowledge sources.

This study aims to unify the fragmented knowledge on human resource (HR) well-being in innovative start-ups, a critical factor in their success. Through a systematic literature review, we analysed 42 peer-reviewed articles using MySLR software to identify key themes and dimensions in this area. Our findings suggest that HR well-being in start-ups can be understood as a higher-order construct, encompassing three main dimensions: job satisfaction, psychological well-being, and work-life balance, including gender-related considerations. The study's implications are significant for academics and practitioners; as such, the proposed framework serves as a reference model for future research and a practical guide for start-up managers to improve employee well-being. The originality of this study lies in its comprehensive approach to synthesising existing research on HR well-being in start-ups, providing a unified framework that clarifies previously unclear and fragmented findings in the literature.

The originality of this study lies in its comprehensive approach to synthesising existing research on HR well-being in start-ups, providing a unified framework that clarifies previously unclear and fragmented findings in the literature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":"9 4","pages":"Article 100580"},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Empirical studies based on detailed, theory-based analyses are essential for a deep understanding of technology adoption. This study provides an overview of blockchain applications in logistics management, employing a comprehensive theoretical framework. Blockchain is considered a critical digital infrastructure for logistics operations due to its distinctive characteristics, including decentralization, transparency, immutability, real-time information sharing, reliability, and end-to-end visibility. These characteristics address many contemporary logistics challenges. The study introduces a research model that integrates the fit-viability model (FVM) and task technology fit theory (TTF), demonstrating blockchain's suitability for enhancing logistics operational functions and sustainability performance. To validate the model, data were collected from logistics managers of 576 companies and analyzed using partial least squares (PLS) regression. This research offers valuable insights for managers, policymakers, and decision-makers on practical challenges and potential solutions in logistics through the application of blockchain. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the implementation of blockchain can improve the alignment, resilience, transparency, integration, and sustainability of logistics tasks.
