Abstract

Purpose

Drawing on the transformational leadership (TL) and knowledge-based view (KBV) theory, the present study investigates the impact of TL on radical innovation (RI) through the mediation of knowledge management capabilities (KMCs) and moderation of competitive intensity (CI) of textile and apparel industries with an Asian context.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected from the relevant stakeholders of the industry-university collaboration teams with a structured survey questionnaire. Working with 304 textile and apparel industry respondents, structural equation modeling based partial least square (PLS-SEM) is used to test the conceptual framework. PLS-SEM technique was applied to test the hypothesis using Smart-PLS 3.8 packages program.

Findings

The results proposed TL has a positive impact on KMC and RI. Furthermore, the study reveals KMC positively mediated the relationship between TL and RI. This mediation is conditional on the moderating role of CI for the KMC (knowledge acquisition capability + knowledge-sharing capability) path to RI. Conversely, moderation of CI is insignificant and does not influence on fostering RI.

Practical implications

Leaders and managers have realized creative and innovative culture is built within the organizations by leader-follower collaboration through actual knowledge acquisition and knowledge sharing. Moreover, industry policymakers and practitioners establish the knowledge management department to enhance the innovation culture among the firms' stakeholders to encourage RI to sustain the global business market.

Originality/value

The study has introduced KMC as a mediator and CI as a moderator in the proposed model between TL-RI and KMC-RI. Further, it explores the linkages between TL, KMC, CI and RI.

变革型领导与突破性创新对可持续发展的影响:知识管理能力的中介作用和竞争强度的调节作用
目的运用变革型领导理论和知识观理论,通过知识管理能力(kmc)和竞争强度(CI)的调节,探讨亚洲纺织服装行业变革型领导对突破性创新(RI)的影响。设计/方法/方法通过结构化调查问卷从产学研合作团队的相关利益相关者处收集数据。与304名纺织服装行业受访者合作,采用基于偏最小二乘法的结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)来测试概念框架。采用Smart-PLS 3.8封装程序,采用PLS-SEM技术对假设进行检验。结果表明:TL对KMC和RI有正向影响。此外,研究还发现KMC正介导了TL和RI之间的关系。这种中介是有条件的,CI在KMC(知识获取能力+知识共享能力)到RI路径中的调节作用。相反,CI的适度性是不显著的,对RI的培养没有影响。实践启示:领导者和管理者已经认识到,创新文化是通过实际的知识获取和知识共享,通过领导者与追随者的协作在组织内部建立起来的。此外,行业决策者和从业者建立了知识管理部门,以增强公司利益相关者之间的创新文化,以鼓励RI维持全球商业市场。本研究在提出的创新能力与创新能力之间的模型中,引入了KMC作为中介,CI作为调节因子。在此基础上,进一步探讨了TL、KMC、CI和RI之间的关系。
