Abstract

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the two-way relationship between management practices and firm innovation along with the dual mediation of business environment, degree of competition and energy policies in Greece, Italy, Turkey and Portugal. Design/methodology/approach The study has derived data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey 2019 for Greece, Italy, Turkey and Portugal and analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to find results. Findings The outcomes of PLS-SEM revealed that management practices and firm innovation have two-way positive significant relationship with each other in Greece, Italy, Turkey and Portugal. The results exposed that the management practices and firm innovation have two-way positive significant relationship with the business environment, degree of competition, and energy policies in Greece, Italy, Turkey and Portugal. The findings also clarified that the business environment, degree of competition and energy policies have dual mediating role between management practices and firm innovation in Greece, Turkey and Portugal. Surprisingly, business environment does not have dual mediation in Italy. Practical implications These useful insights would enable practitioners and direct policymakers to develop and apply more magnificent management practices to boost up innovation among firms. Originality/value Although the topics of management practices and innovation have received a great concern of academia, but this is the first study that offers a comprehensive model of the relationship in these domains.

绘制管理实践与企业创新之间的双向关系:商业环境、竞争程度和能源政策的中介作用

本研究旨在评估管理实践与企业创新之间的双向关系，以及商业环境、竞争程度和能源政策在希腊、意大利、土耳其和葡萄牙的双重中介作用。该研究的数据来自世界银行2019年对希腊、意大利、土耳其和葡萄牙的企业调查，并通过偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)进行分析，以找到结果。结果显示，在希腊、意大利、土耳其和葡萄牙，管理实践与企业创新之间存在显著的双向正相关关系。结果表明，管理实践和企业创新与希腊、意大利、土耳其和葡萄牙的商业环境、竞争程度和能源政策之间存在双向显著正相关关系。研究结果还表明，在希腊、土耳其和葡萄牙，商业环境、竞争程度和能源政策在管理实践和企业创新之间具有双重中介作用。令人惊讶的是，意大利的商业环境没有双重调解。这些有用的见解将使从业者和指导决策者能够开发和应用更宏伟的管理实践，以促进企业之间的创新。原创性/价值虽然管理实践和创新的主题已经受到学术界的极大关注，但这是第一次在这些领域中提供一个全面的关系模型的研究。
