ABSTRACTIn the realm of entrepreneurship, incubators have emerged as indispensable facilitators, serving as crucial avenues for entrepreneurs to establish external network connections and secure access to vital resources. This study draws upon the principles of social network theory and employs hierarchical regression analysis. The primary focus of our investigation is to elucidate how incubators' network-building endeavors exert a substantial influence on the entrepreneurial performance of start-ups, from the perspective of resource bricolage. Our research examined a sample of 465 start-ups in China. The empirical findings that have emerged from our study reveal the positive impact of incubator network building on the entrepreneurial performance of start-ups. Importantly, this impact is not isolated but instead is partially mediated through the lens of resource bricolage, highlighting the innovative use of available resources. Furthermore, we shed light on the moderating role of network proactiveness, revealing its positive influence on the relationship between incubator network building and the resource bricolage employed by start-ups. This study significantly enriches the existing body of knowledge by advancing our comprehension of the intricate mechanisms governing the incubator start-ups dynamic. It contributes to a deeper understanding of how diverse incubator network mechanisms shape the accumulation of resources and capabilities within start-ups, shedding new light on the path to entrepreneurial success.KEYWORDS: Network strategyresource bricolagestart-ups AcknowledgmentsWe gratefully acknowledge the financial support from National Natural Science Foundation of China (Project No. 72372026，71872042) and Fundamental Research Funds for Central Universities (Project No. 2242023S20011).Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis research is supported by two National Natural Scienece Foundation of China grants as following: National Natural Science Foundation of China (Project No. 72372026, 71872042); Fundamental Research Funds for Central Universities [Project No. 2242023S20011].

ABSTRACTWhile prior studies have indicated a positive correlation between followers’ psychological capital (PsyCap) and their innovative behaviour, there has been limited exploration of the congruence effect of leader and follower PsyCap in predicting innovative behaviour. Overlooking the congruence effect of leader-follower PsyCap may lead to an overstatement of the benefits of followers’ PsyCap in shaping innovative behaviour, resulting in an inaccurate understanding of its antecedents. To address this gap, this study draws on the person-environment fit theory, specifically the person-supervisor fit theory, to examine how congruence and incongruence of PsyCap between leaders and followers influence innovative behaviour. Polynomial regression analyses were conducted with data from 55 leaders and 264 followers in China. The results demonstrate that the higher alignment of PsyCap levels between leaders and followers, the better the leader-member exchange (LMX). Moreover, a high level of leader-follower PsyCap congruence is associated with higher LMX than a low level of congruence. In cases of incongruence, the high-low combination of leaders’ PsyCap and followers’ PsyCap is associated with lower LMX than a low-high combination. Finally, LMX mediates the relationship between leader-follower PsyCap congruence/incongruence and follower innovative behaviour. These findings emphasise the importance of congruence in leader and follower PsyCap for promoting innovative behaviour. Implications for theory and implementation are discussed.KEYWORDS: Innovative behaviourleader-member exchangepsychological capitalperson-supervisor fit theorypolynomial regression Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe datasets, materials, and analysis code used in this research are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.Ethical approvalAll procedures performed in research involving human participants were according to the institutional and 1964 Helsinki declaration and its subsequent amendments or comparable ethical standards.Informed consentInformed Consent was obtained from all the participants of this study.
