Purpose

Scholars acknowledge that trust relationships between expatriates and host nationals are important; however, previous research has demonstrated that one’s culture affects how individuals define trust, which can influence how trust is developed between expatriates and host nationals. In addition, trust can affect communication between expatriates and host nationals in many ways. Therefore, this study examined how US host nationals and Japanese expatriates conceptualized trust in the workplace as well as how trust affected their daily communication.

Design/methodology/approach

A total of 32 participants (16 US Americans and 16 Japanese) working in a multinational manufacturing company participated in semi-structured, individual interviews. A modified version of constant comparative analysis was employed to analyze the data.

Findings

Both groups of participants identified competence and skills, teamwork and collaboration, and open/honest communication as defining features of trust in the workplace, although there were some explanations regarding trust that were influenced by participants’ culture. Further, trust between US host nationals and Japanese expatriates affected their communication strategies, such as information flow and mentoring communication.

Originality/value

This study contributes to literature on the relationships between expatriates and host nationals by providing a culturally nuanced understanding of trust in the workplace. Additionally, findings from this study offer practical recommendations for multinational corporations for how to socialize and train their employees to enhance their work experience with one another.

目的学者们承认,外派人员与东道国国民之间的信任关系非常重要;然而,以往的研究表明,个人的文化会影响个人对信任的定义,从而影响外派人员与东道国国民之间如何建立信任。此外,信任还会在很多方面影响外派人员与东道国国民之间的交流。因此,本研究探讨了美国东道国国民和日本外派人员如何看待工作场所中的信任概念,以及信任如何影响他们的日常交流。设计/方法/途径在一家跨国制造公司工作的 32 名参与者(16 名美国人和 16 名日本人)参加了半结构化个人访谈。研究结果两组参与者都认为能力和技能、团队精神和协作以及公开/诚实的沟通是工作场所信任的决定性特征,尽管有一些关于信任的解释受到参与者文化的影响。此外,美国东道国国民和日本外派人员之间的信任也影响了他们的沟通策略,如信息流和指导性沟通。此外,本研究的结果还为跨国公司提供了实用建议,即如何对员工进行社交和培训,以增强他们彼此间的工作体验。

Purpose

This study investigates the effect of entrepreneurial orientation and government support on the innovation openness of South Korean manufacturing firms. By compartmentalizing entrepreneurial orientation and government support, this study seeks to elucidate their effects on the breadth and depth of firms' knowledge searches.

Design/methodology/approach

The study utilizes Poisson regression analysis with empirical data from 2,353 South Korean manufacturing firms collected from Korean Innovation Survey data.

Findings

Analysis reveals nuanced influences of various factors on firms' open innovation activities. Innovativeness positively affects knowledge search breadth and depth, highlighting the role of innovation-oriented processes, while competitive aggressiveness influences depth, thereby underscoring the pursuit of specialized knowledge acquisition. Proactiveness positively affects breadth but negatively affects depth, suggesting the importance of maintaining broad perspectives. Government support scope positively affects both breadth and depth, reflecting the significance of external support in encouraging inclusive knowledge exploration. The importance of government support positively influences depth, emphasizing its vital role in establishing collaborative relationships to enhance in-depth knowledge acquisition.

Originality/value

This study provides novel insights by exploring the nuanced implementation of open innovation in latecomer economies, especially South Korea, which experienced rapid economic development by leveraging innovation. The identification of specific factors influencing knowledge search breadth and depth contributes to the literature on open innovation by providing strategic guidelines for firms and policymakers. This practical implications of this study suggest that firms should align their strategies with entrepreneurial orientation while leveraging pertinent government support.

目的 本研究探讨了创业导向和政府支持对韩国制造业企业创新开放性的影响。本研究采用泊松回归分析法,对韩国创新调查数据中收集的 2353 家韩国制造业企业的经验数据进行了分析。创新性会对知识搜索的广度和深度产生积极影响,突出了以创新为导向的流程的作用,而竞争进取性则会影响知识搜索的深度,从而突出了对专业化知识获取的追求。主动性对广度有积极影响,但对深度有消极影响,这表明保持广阔视野的重要性。政府支持范围对广度和深度都有积极影响,反映了外部支持在鼓励包容性知识探索方面的重要性。政府支持的重要性对深度产生了积极影响,强调了其在建立合作关系以加强深度知识获取方面的重要作用。 原创性/价值这项研究通过探索后发经济体,尤其是韩国开放式创新的细微实施情况,提供了新颖的见解。本研究确定了影响知识搜索广度和深度的具体因素,为企业和政策制定者提供了战略指导,从而为有关开放式创新的文献做出了贡献。这项研究的实际意义表明,企业应将其战略与创业导向相结合,同时充分利用政府的相关支持。

Purpose

The contribution of this study is two-fold. First, we draw on attribution theory to develop a model for predicting how the knowledge, emotions, and satisfaction that consumers have regarding halal cosmetics can influence their willingness to pay more and recommend the products to others.

Design/methodology/approach

Survey data from 278 Indonesian and 163 Malaysian female consumers were analyzed by means of structural equation modeling. Second, we test the moderation role of sign value using metric invariance across the two different source markets.

Findings

The results obtained confirm that consumers exhibit positive emotions when they possess knowledge about halal cosmetics and their quality. Testing the double moderation further reveals that consumers with a high sign value behave differently from those with a low sign value.

Originality/value

These findings present practical insights that can be used by retailers and marketers in their strategies to boost the sale of halal cosmetics.

目的本研究有两方面的贡献。首先,我们借鉴归因理论,建立了一个模型来预测消费者对清真化妆品的知识、情感和满意度如何影响他们支付更多费用和向他人推荐产品的意愿。其次,我们利用两个不同来源市场的度量不变性检验了符号价值的调节作用。结果所得结果证实,当消费者拥有关于清真化妆品及其质量的知识时,她们会表现出积极的情绪。原创性/价值这些发现提出了实用的见解,可供零售商和营销人员在促进清真化妆品销售的战略中使用。

Purpose

How much variance in firm performance can be attributed to firms’ corporate political activities (CPA)? Under what conditions does CPA contribute to firm performance? To theorize and empirically tackle these questions, we build on the resource-based view (RBV) to theorize how CPA might improve or hinder firm performance, and specifically examine the direct relationship between firms’ investments in lobbying activities and their performance. We also expect firm growth rate to moderate the relationship between lobbying and performance.

Design/methodology/approach

We empirically test our hypotheses using large-scale longitudinal panel data from publicly traded US firms from 2008 to 2018.

Findings

Our analyses support our predictions of the double-edged sword effect of lobbying on firm performance. Moreover, our results show that this effect is steeper for firms with higher growth rates.

Originality/value

Our study contributes meaningful insights to strategy scholarship on the influence of nonmarket strategies, highlighting the relevance of firm-specific conditions in shaping the performance outcomes of such strategies. In particular, we make a contribution by identifying a nonlinear relationship between lobbying and firm performance, which is amplified in fast-growing firms compared to stagnant ones.

目的 企业政治活动(CPA)对企业绩效的影响有多大?在什么条件下,企业政治活动有助于提高企业绩效?为了从理论上和实证上解决这些问题,我们以基于资源的观点(RBV)为基础,对企业政治活动如何提高或阻碍企业绩效进行了理论分析,并具体研究了企业在游说活动中的投资与其绩效之间的直接关系。我们还预计企业增长率会缓和游说与绩效之间的关系。我们使用 2008 年至 2018 年美国上市公司的大规模纵向面板数据对我们的假设进行了实证检验。研究结果我们的分析支持了我们的预测,即游说对企业绩效具有双刃剑效应。此外,我们的结果表明,对于增长率较高的公司,这种效应更为陡峭。原创性/价值我们的研究为非市场战略影响方面的战略学术研究提供了有意义的见解,强调了公司特定条件在塑造此类战略绩效结果方面的相关性。特别是,我们发现了游说与公司业绩之间的非线性关系,与停滞不前的公司相比,这种关系在快速增长的公司中更为明显。

Purpose

This study aimed to illustrate the conditions under which cultural diversity enhances workgroup creativity. It does so by investigating the impact of ethnic diversity on workgroup creativity through the mediating mechanisms of cognitive diversity and information elaboration, while also exploring the role of inclusive leadership in this process.

Design/methodology/approach

Multi-source data was collected from a sample of 338 employees nested within 56 workgroups across three distinct organizations. Conditional process analysis was used to empirically test the proposed hypotheses.

Findings

The results show that ethnic diversity, a surface-level cultural attribute, contributed to diversity in deep-level cognitive resources, and that workgroups were able to capitalize on these variations in deep-level cognitive resources to enhance their creativity when they engaged in the elaboration of task-relevant information. Results also demonstrated that the effective management of workgroup processes through inclusive leadership helped materialize the performance-promoting effects of cultural diversity. Overall, the findings support the notion that cultural diversity is indeed beneficial to workgroups.

Originality/value

Prior research has typically examined cultural diversity in workgroups from the perspective of either surface-level or deep-level cultural attributes, leading to conflicting findings. Our study takes a multifaceted approach to cultural diversity and its influence on workgroup creativity, offering a more nuanced understanding. Additionally, by integrating the concept of inclusive leadership, a relatively new conceptualization of leadership specifically relevant to diverse workgroups, we clarified strategies for fostering positive workgroup performance.

目的 本研究旨在说明文化多样性提高工作组创造力的条件。研究通过认知多样性和信息阐述的中介机制,调查了种族多样性对工作组创造力的影响,同时还探讨了包容性领导在这一过程中的作用。结果结果表明,作为表层文化属性的种族多样性促进了深层认知资源的多样性,而当工作组参与任务相关信息的阐述时,他们能够利用这些深层认知资源的差异来提高他们的创造力。研究结果还表明,通过包容性领导对工作组流程进行有效管理,有助于实现文化多样性对绩效的促进作用。总体而言,研究结果支持了文化多样性确实有益于工作组的观点。原创性/价值以往的研究通常从表层或深层文化属性的角度来研究工作组中的文化多样性,从而得出相互矛盾的研究结果。我们的研究从多方面探讨了文化多样性及其对工作组创造力的影响,从而提供了一种更加细致入微的理解。此外,通过整合包容性领导力这一专门针对多元化工作组的相对较新的领导力概念,我们明确了促进工作组积极绩效的策略。

National culture and corporate investment: does uncertainty matter? 民族文化与企业投资:不确定性是否重要?
IF 2.5 4区 管理学 Q3 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2024-07-17 DOI: 10.1108/ccsm-08-2023-0172

Purpose

Our purpose is to explore how culture’s impact on investment is depending on uncertainty levels.

Design/methodology/approach

This study investigates the interplay between national culture, uncertainty, and corporate investment decisions. Focusing on the uncertainty avoidance dimension (HUA) from Hofstede’s culture framework and utilizing the World Uncertainty Index (WUI) as a measure of uncertainty, this research explores how culture’s impact on investment is depending on uncertainty levels.

Findings

Our results reveal that high HUA countries lower long-term investment during periods of heightened uncertainty, particularly in riskier investments like R&D, rather than capital expenditure. This relation is more pronounced for smaller firms. The findings suggest that HUA is associated with less risk taking, primarily when uncertainty is high. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the interaction between HUA and uncertainty exerts more significant and consistent effects on corporate investment than other cultural dimensions, religion, and various formal institutions, contrary to prevailing literature.

Originality/value

This study looks at the relationship between national culture and corporate investment under ambiguity, and what are the implications for risk taking. If national culture is related to riskier investments, such as R&D, relative to safer investments, like capital expenditure this would imply that risk taking is explaining the relationship between national culture and corporate investment. This relation should be clear during uncertain times. This is the first study to include the moderating effects of the level of uncertainty on the relation between national culture and corporate investment (or financial decisions in general).

设计/方法/途径 本研究探讨了国家文化、不确定性和企业投资决策之间的相互作用。本研究侧重于霍夫斯泰德文化框架中的不确定性规避维度(HUA),并使用世界不确定性指数(WUI)作为不确定性的衡量标准,探讨了文化对投资的影响如何取决于不确定性水平。研究结果我们的结果显示,在不确定性加剧期间,HUA 高的国家会降低长期投资,尤其是在研发等风险较高的投资方面,而不是资本支出方面。这种关系在小型企业中更为明显。研究结果表明,HUA 与较少的风险承担有关,主要是在不确定性较高时。此外,我们还证明,与其他文化维度、宗教和各种正式制度相比,HUA 与不确定性之间的交互作用对企业投资产生了更显著、更一致的影响,这与现有文献相反。如果民族文化与风险较高的投资(如研发)相关,而与较安全的投资(如资本支出)相关,这就意味着风险承担可以解释民族文化与企业投资之间的关系。在不确定时期,这种关系应该是明确的。这是第一项包含不确定性水平对民族文化与企业投资(或一般金融决策)之间关系的调节作用的研究。

How does cyber incivility affect work withdrawal? The mediating role of basic need satisfaction and burnout and moderating role of conscientiousness 网络不文明行为如何影响工作退缩?基本需求满足和职业倦怠的中介作用以及自觉性的调节作用
IF 2.5 4区 管理学 Q3 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2024-07-10 DOI: 10.1108/ccsm-03-2022-0052
Boreum (Jenny) Ju, Sunjin Pak

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of cyber incivility on adverse work outcomes of work withdrawal and turnover intention. Specifically, we draw on self-determination theory and conservation of resources theory to examine the mediating roles of basic need satisfaction and burnout in the relationship between cyber incivility and work outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach

We used Mplus 7.4 software with a maximum likelihood robust (MLR) estimator to test the structural equation modeling. We followed Anderson and Gerbing’s guidelines to test the hypotheses.

Findings

The results based on time-lagged data from 685 full-time workers in the United States provide support for the hypotheses that cyber incivility is indirectly associated with work withdrawal and turnover intention through basic need satisfaction and burnout. We also found that for individuals with high conscientiousness, the negative direct effect of cyber incivility on basic need satisfaction and the positive indirect effects of cyber incivility on work withdrawal and turnover intention through basic need satisfaction and burnout are stronger than for individuals with lower conscientiousness.

Originality/value

Our research revealed that when employees experience cyber incivility, they enter a defensive mode to protect their already stretched resources from unfulfilled basic need satisfaction. Specifically, experiencing cyber incivility interferes with meeting basic need satisfaction and leads to burnout, which, in turn, triggers defensive work withdrawal and turnover intention.

目的 本研究旨在探讨网络不文明行为对工作退缩和离职意向等不良工作结果的影响。具体来说,我们借鉴了自我决定理论和资源保护理论,研究了基本需求满足和职业倦怠在网络不文明行为与工作结果之间的中介作用。我们使用 Mplus 7.4 软件和最大似然稳健(MLR)估计器来检验结构方程模型。结果基于美国 685 名全职工作者的时滞数据得出的结果支持了以下假设:网络不文明行为通过基本需求满足和职业倦怠与工作退出和离职意向间接相关。我们还发现,与自觉性较低的个体相比,对于自觉性较高的个体,网络不文明行为对基本需求满足的负向直接影响,以及网络不文明行为通过基本需求满足和职业倦怠对工作退出和离职意向的正向间接影响更强。原创性/价值我们的研究发现,当员工遭遇网络不文明行为时,他们会进入一种防御模式,以保护自己已经捉襟见肘的资源,避免基本需求满足得不到满足。具体来说,遭遇网络不文明行为会影响基本需求的满足,导致职业倦怠,进而引发防御性工作退出和离职意向。

How can firms get benefits from the innovation ecosystem? Empirical evidence from Pakistan 企业如何从创新生态系统中获益?巴基斯坦的经验证据
IF 2.5 4区 管理学 Q3 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2024-07-09 DOI: 10.1108/ccsm-12-2022-0198
Heng Tang, Shoaib Ali

Purpose

This research intends to analyze the innovation ecosystem factors that play a vital role in firm performance. As a result, large-scale empirical studies on the innovation ecosystem are rare, and fewer efforts have been made to determine if and how different factors affect the ecosystem models of firms. There has yet to be a substantial empirical study on the innovation ecosystem.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were acquired from Pakistani IT companies. The results show that factors of the innovation ecosystem significantly contribute to business performance. The essential assumption is that resource endowment, organizational culture, knowledge and competence, and technology capability are allied to the innovation ecosystem.

Findings

The findings are crucial from a managerial view because firms must focus on changing their innovation ecosystem factors model to achieve greater performance. Radical changes in the firms will only be worthwhile if they value their resource endowments. To attain superior firm performance via influential factors of the innovation ecosystem, IT administrators need to build organizational cultural capacities to adapt to changes brought on by digitization quickly and effectively. However, this must be supplemented by improving organizational knowledge, competencies and technological capabilities to enable organizations to modify their ecosystems.

Originality/value

Eventually, firms can better respond to changes in their settings if they combine these variables by implementing an effective innovation ecosystem model, which leads to greater sector and superior financial performance.

目的 本研究旨在分析对企业绩效起重要作用的创新生态系统因素。因此,有关创新生态系统的大规模实证研究并不多见,而且在确定不同因素是否以及如何影响企业生态系统模式方面所做的努力也较少。设计/方法/途径数据来自巴基斯坦的 IT 公司。研究结果表明,创新生态系统中的各种因素对企业绩效有很大的促进作用。基本假设是,资源禀赋、组织文化、知识和能力以及技术能力与创新生态系统息息相关。研究结果从管理角度来看,这些发现至关重要,因为企业必须专注于改变其创新生态系统因素模型,以实现更高的绩效。只有在企业重视自身资源禀赋的情况下,企业的根本性变革才有价值。要想通过创新生态系统的影响因素实现卓越的企业绩效,信息技术管理者需要建立组织文化能力,以快速有效地适应数字化带来的变化。原创性/价值最终,如果企业通过实施有效的创新生态系统模式将这些变量结合起来,就能更好地应对环境变化,从而获得更大的部门和更优的财务业绩。

Linking formal institutional distance, subsidiary autonomy for innovation and subsidiary global (value-added) mandates 将正式机构的距离、子公司的创新自主权和子公司的全球(增值)任务联系起来
IF 2.5 4区 管理学 Q3 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2024-06-28 DOI: 10.1108/ccsm-01-2024-0015

Purpose

This study examines the effects of formal institutional distance (ID) on the foreign subsidiary global mandates (i.e. the subsidiary value-added role in terms of research and development (R&D), product management and supplying of inputs to the multinational enterprise (MNE) globally). Furthermore, it examines the mediating role of subsidiary autonomy for innovation in the relationship between formal ID and subsidiary global mandates.

Design/methodology/approach

Survey evidence from foreign subsidiaries in a remote developed economy, i.e. New Zealand, is obtained. Formal distance is measured based on the worldwide governance indicators (WGI), and the hypotheses are tested using structural equation modeling.

Findings

Results show that the direct link between formal ID and subsidiary global mandates is negative. However, autonomy for innovation as a mediator offsets this negative relationship, showing a positive mediating effect between formal ID and subsidiary global mandates.

Originality/value

This study extends research on foreign subsidiaries and their value-added roles in the MNE. We show the differentiated role of formal ID and indicate a contingency showing how the negative influence of formal ID on subsidiary global mandates can be offset. The inconsistent mediation of autonomy for innovation suggests that the concept of ID is multifaceted and complex, in contrast to the popular view that ID has only negative implications. Drawing upon evidence from a remote, developed economy and secondary data sources, we suggest how MNEs may positively use their formal ID with their subsidiaries.

目的本研究探讨了正式制度距离(ID)对外国子公司全球任务(即子公司在研发、产品管理和向跨国企业(MNE)提供全球投入方面的增值作用)的影响。此外,本研究还探讨了子公司的创新自主权在正式 ID 与子公司全球任务之间关系中的中介作用。设计/方法/途径:本研究从偏远发达经济体(即新西兰)的外国子公司获得了调查证据。正式距离根据全球治理指标(WGI)进行衡量,并使用结构方程模型对假设进行检验。结果结果表明,正式 ID 与子公司全球任务之间的直接联系为负。然而,作为中介的创新自主权抵消了这种负相关关系,显示出正式 ID 与子公司全球任务之间的正中介效应。我们展示了正式身份识别的差异化作用,并指出了正式身份识别对子公司全球任务的负面影响如何被抵消的或然性。自主权对创新的不一致调解表明,自主权的概念是多方面的、复杂的,这与普遍认为自主权只有负面影响的观点截然不同。根据一个偏远发达经济体的证据和二手数据来源,我们提出了跨国企业如何积极利用其子公司的正式 ID 的建议。
