Abstract

Purpose The current study aims to advance the research on the extra-industry network, innovativeness and performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by examining the mediation role of proactiveness. The study also aims to examine the mediating role innovativeness between extra-industry network and performance. Design/methodology/approach This study used the proportionate stratified random sampling method to select the study sample and the questionnaire survey approach to 580 SMEs. A total of 150 completed questionnaires were returned. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was administered to analyze data via Smart PLS 3.0 software. Findings The results reflect that proactiveness is mediated by the relationship between the extra-industry network and the performance of Iranian SMEs. In addition, the results illustrated that proactiveness is mediated by the relationship between innovativeness and the performance. The findings also address the limitation of previous studies on Iranian SMEs through the independent examination of the mediating role of innovativeness between firm extra-industry network and performance. Originality/value This article is one of few attempts that have addressed the significance of proactiveness as the key mechanism to transform the advantages of extra-industry network and innovativeness relationships to enhance performance.

产业外网络和创新通过主动性对绩效的间接影响

目的本研究旨在通过考察积极性的中介作用，推进对中小企业产业外网络、创新性和绩效的研究。本研究还旨在检验产业外网络创新性与绩效之间的中介作用。设计/方法/方法本研究采用比例分层随机抽样法选择研究样本，并采用问卷调查法对580家中小企业进行调查。总共返回了150份已完成的问卷。偏最小二乘结构方程建模通过Smart PLS 3.0软件进行数据分析。研究结果表明，主动性是由产业外网络与伊朗中小企业绩效之间的关系调节的。此外，研究结果表明，积极性是由创新性和绩效之间的关系介导的。研究结果还通过独立考察创新性在企业产业外网络和绩效之间的中介作用，解决了以往对伊朗中小企业研究的局限性。独创性/价值本文是为数不多的尝试之一，这些尝试探讨了积极性的重要性，将其作为转变行业外网络优势和创新关系以提高绩效的关键机制。
