Abstract

This study examines the innovation process through the interrelationships of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) dimensions in an emerging economy. Using a five-point Likert scale, we adopt a survey approach to measure individuals’ EO dimensions and explore the relationship between proactiveness, risk-taking, motivation, and innovation outcomes. We test our hypotheses using a sample of 466 individuals in Kuwait. Survey data are analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) and a partial least squares approach. The results indicate that proactiveness and motivation positively relate to risk-taking. In addition, we find that our mediating variable, risk-taking, directly impacts innovation. The is an indirect effect of motivation and proactiveness on innovation, through risk-taking. These findings shed light on the interrelationships among different dimensions within the EO framework, pathways towards innovation, and provide meaningful insights for promoting innovation outcomes.

探索新兴经济体的创业导向

本研究通过一个新兴经济体中创业导向（EO）维度的相互关系来探讨创新过程。我们采用五点李克特量表的调查方法来测量个人的创业导向维度，并探讨主动性、冒险性、积极性和创新成果之间的关系。我们以科威特的 466 人为样本，对我们的假设进行了检验。调查数据采用主成分分析法（PCA）和偏最小二乘法进行分析。结果表明，主动性和积极性与风险承担呈正相关。此外，我们还发现风险承担这一中介变量直接影响创新。积极性和主动性通过冒险行为对创新产生间接影响。这些发现揭示了企业组织框架内不同维度之间的相互关系、创新途径，并为促进创新成果提供了有意义的见解。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Innovation and Knowledge (JIK) explores how innovation drives knowledge creation and vice versa, emphasizing that not all innovation leads to knowledge, but enduring innovation across diverse fields fosters theory and knowledge. JIK invites papers on innovations enhancing or generating knowledge, covering innovation processes, structures, outcomes, and behaviors at various levels. Articles in JIK examine knowledge-related changes promoting innovation for societal best practices. JIK serves as a platform for high-quality studies undergoing double-blind peer review, ensuring global dissemination to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers who recognize innovation and knowledge as economic drivers. It publishes theoretical articles, empirical studies, case studies, reviews, and other content, addressing current trends and emerging topics in innovation and knowledge. The journal welcomes suggestions for special issues and encourages articles to showcase contextual differences and lessons for a broad audience. In essence, JIK is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing theoretical and practical innovations and knowledge across multiple fields, including Economics, Business and Management, Engineering, Science, and Education.
