Specifically, we hypothesize that followers＇ innovative behavior can be directly and indirectly influenced by their perceptions of transformational leadership. Knowledge sharing has a mediating effect and followers＇ psychological capital has a moderating role in the relationship between transformational leadership and followers＇ innovative behavior. A total of 212 employees from a diverse range of industries filled out questionnaires. Hierarchical linear modeling is used to analyze the relations. Results reveal that transformational leadership produces positive and significant impacts on followers＇ innovative behavior and this relationship is fully mediated by knowledge sharing. Results also indicate that the positive relationship between transformational leadership and followers＇ innovative behavior is enhanced only when followers possess high psychological capital. This paper adds to innovation literature by empirically testing the moderating role of psychological capital and the mediating role of knowledge sharing on the link between transformational leadership and followers＇ innovative behavior. Implications of the findings for theory, research, and practice are discussed.展开更多

However, innovative firms often share similar characteristics, and they adopt similar governance mechanisms to facilitate innovation. The ultimate purpose of such internal governance mechanism that facilitates innovation is to prevent managers＇ myopia, and this paper concludes 5 different roles in internal governance mechanism that facilitate corporate innovation behavior.展开更多

文摘Identifying climatic niche shift and its influencing factors is of great significance in predicting the risk of alien species invasions accurately.Previous studies have attempted to identify the factors related to the niche shift of alien species in their invaded ranges,including changes in introduction history,selection of exact climate predictors,and anthropogenic factors.However,the effect of species-level traits on niche shift remains largely unexplored,especially those reflecting the species’adaptation ability to new environments.Based on the occurrence data of 117 successful alien bird invaders at a global scale,their native and invaded climatic niches were compared,and the potential influencing factors were identified.Our results show the niche overlap was low,with more than 75%of the non-native birds representing climatic niche shift(i.e.>10%niche expansion).In addition,85%of the species showed a large proportion(mean±SD,39%±21%)of niche unfilling.Relative brain size(RBS)after accounting for body size had no direct effect on niche shift,but path analysis showed that RBS had an indirect effect on niche shift by acting on behavioral innovation primarily on technical innovation rather than consumer innovation.These findings suggested the incorporation of species’important behavioral adaptation traits may be promising to develop future prediction frameworks of biological invasion risk in response to the continued global change.

文摘In contrast to traditional passive innovation behavior,proactive innovation behavior initiated by employees significantly impacts organizational performance.For manufacturing employees,proactive innovation behavior leads to high-quality innovation outcomes,thereby facilitating the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing sector.Trait mindfulness enhances self-awareness,stimulating intrinsic motivation,and proactive employee behavior.However,research exploring how trait mindfulness affects proactive innovation behavior in manufacturing is still limited.This study,anchored in self determination theory and viewed through intrinsic motivation,develops a chain mediation model whereby trait mindfulness influences proactive innovation through professional identity and thriving at work while examining the moderating role of a caring ethical climate.Utilizing a sample of 536 manufacturing employees,data analysis and hypothesis testing are performed using SPSS and Amos.The findings reveal that(1)trait mindfulness has a positive effect on proactive innovation behavior;(2)professional identity and thriving at work each act as partial mediators between trait mindfulness and proactive innovation behavior and together serve as chain mediators;and(3)a caring ethical climate positively moderates the relationship between trait mindfulness and both professional identity and thriving at work.Finally,management recommendations are proposed based on these empirical findings.
