Abstract

Purpose This study aims to explore how ethical leadership and innovative climate impact project success through employees innovative behavior. In addition, based on the conservation of resources theory, this study also examines whether time pressure moderates the innovative work behavior and project success nexus. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 403 employees working in Vietnam's information technology (IT) companies. The partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to investigate the impact of ethical leadership and innovative climate on project success, the mediating effect of innovative behavior and the moderating role of time pressure. Findings Empirical findings indicate that ethical leadership and innovative climate positively impact on project success. Moreover, employees' innovative behavior has a complementary effect on these relationships. In addition, time pressure moderates the nexus between innovative work behavior and project success. Practical implications The findings suggest that IT companies can promote innovative work behavior among employees by building ethical leadership and enhancing an innovative climate. Moreover, when designing and implementing a project, project managers should take care to allow enough time for innovative behavior within the team. Originality/value This inquiry is probably the first attempt to explore the mechanism linking ethical leadership and innovative climate to project success, with the mediating role of employees' innovative behavior. Additionally, time pressure is an increasingly relevant factor in contemporary business, but so far little explored in research. This study extends the current knowledge by considering the moderating role of time pressure in the innovative behavior and project success nexus.

道德领导、创新氛围对项目成功的影响:创新行为和时间压力的作用

本研究旨在探讨伦理领导与创新气候如何通过员工创新行为影响项目成功。此外，基于资源守恒理论，本研究还探讨了时间压力是否调节创新工作行为和项目成功之间的关系。数据收集自403名在越南信息技术(IT)公司工作的员工。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型研究了伦理型领导和创新氛围对项目成功的影响、创新行为的中介作用以及时间压力的调节作用。实证结果表明，伦理型领导和创新氛围对项目成功有正向影响。此外，员工的创新行为对这些关系具有互补作用。此外，时间压力调节了创新工作行为和项目成功之间的联系。研究结果表明，IT公司可以通过建立道德领导和营造创新氛围来促进员工的创新工作行为。此外，在设计和实现项目时，项目经理应该注意为团队内部的创新行为留出足够的时间。独创性/价值本研究可能是第一次尝试探索伦理领导和创新氛围对项目成功的联系机制，以及员工创新行为的中介作用。此外，时间压力在当代商业中是一个越来越重要的因素，但迄今为止研究很少。本研究通过考虑时间压力在创新行为和项目成功关系中的调节作用，扩展了现有的知识。
