Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to analyze the effects of the components of absorptive capacity (ACAP) – potential absorptive capacity (PACAP) and realized absorptive capacity (RACAP) on inbound and outbound open innovation (OI). In addition, this study investigates the moderating role that knowledge-oriented leadership (KOL) plays in the relationship between ACAP and OI.

Design/methodology/approach

This research adopts a quantitative approach, using structural equation modeling, in a sample of 218 companies in the Brazilian manufacturing sector, using a random sampling technique and self-administered questionnaire.

Findings

The results indicate that while PACAP positively influences inbound and outbound OI, RACAP has a significant relationship only with outbound OI. In addition, KOL moderates the significant relationships between PACAP and RACAP and OI, indicating that the development of a leadership that fosters learning and interaction between employees and sectors of the organization impacts the innovation results of companies in the manufacturing sector.

Practical implications

This study also shows that managers must have an active role in the construction of an organizational context that supports learning through initiatives that encourage the process of trial and error, teamwork and cooperation between employees.

Originality/value

This research advances previous studies by relating the two components of ACAP (PACAP and RACAP) with the two OI models (inbound and outbound), in addition to analyzing the moderating role that KOL plays in this relationship between ACAP and OI.

潜在和已实现的吸收能力对开放式创新的影响：知识导向型领导力的调节作用

目的本研究旨在分析吸收能力（ACAP）的组成要素--潜在吸收能力（PACAP）和实现吸收能力（RACAP）对向内和向外开放式创新（OI）的影响。此外，本研究还探讨了以知识为导向的领导力（KOL）在 ACAP 与开放式创新之间的关系中所起的调节作用。本研究采用结构方程建模的定量方法，以巴西制造业的 218 家公司为样本，使用随机抽样技术和自填式问卷。此外，KOL调节了PACAP和RACAP与OI之间的显著关系，表明培养促进员工和组织各部门之间学习和互动的领导力会影响制造业企业的创新成果。实践意义这项研究还表明，管理者必须在构建组织环境方面发挥积极作用，通过鼓励员工之间的试错、团队协作与合作过程来支持学习。原创性/价值这项研究将ACAP的两个组成部分（PACAP和RACAP）与两种OI模型（入站式和出站式）联系起来，并分析了KOL在ACAP与OI之间的关系中所起的调节作用，从而推进了以往的研究。
