The research findings suggested that XY leadership is related to turnover intention, while intrinsic motivation is related to the socio-demographic characteristics of the teachers. Furthermore, intrinsic motivation fully mediated the relationship of job satisfaction with turnover intention and partially mediated the relationships of trust in organisation with turnover intention. The results suggested that the motivation of teachers to work can be targeted through adapting leadership styles and certain organisational characteristics and benefits provided to the employees.","PeriodicalId":429700,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transitions and Innovation Systems","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122410782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on this assumption we explored the appearance and understanding of frugal innovation in four emerging and developing countries, which were not yet in the prime focus of frugal innovation research: South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey. In our one year on-site research project, we conducted 21 expert interviews and evaluated them with qualitative content analysis in a combination of inductive and deductive category development. Our empirical results were highly consistent with our initial assumption and as summarising finding, we state, that the understanding of innovation as frugal is affected by contextual influences, especially the specific country economic conditions and the cultural context. Although the main characteristics of frugal innovation resemble one another, the contextual conditions seem to determine characteristics finally.","PeriodicalId":429700,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transitions and Innovation Systems","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133049831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A company's ability to capture external knowledge and to use it for its own benefit is shaped by organisational absorptive capacity. Using data gathered from interviews with 61 Estonian companies, this research attempts to further investigate a recently proposed model of absorptive capacity suggesting that it is a set of simultaneous, rather than consecutive, elements. The paper provides an in-depth study of the suggested elements and patterns that make up the phenomenon of absorptive capacity and demonstrates that companies value external information, sourcing it and making their strategic choices based on the competitive situation. While providing support for the proposed model of absorptive capacity, the results also reveal common elements of its subsets: process-driven innovation, reliance on competitors and clients and the importance of employees.","PeriodicalId":429700,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transitions and Innovation Systems","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133236660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In China, however, the continuance usage of mobile banking remains underperformed. This paper examines the differences of the continuance intention to use mobile banking across different segments (gender, age and education level) of the Chinese population using the integrated expectation confirmation model (ECM) and task-technology fit (TTF) model. The data was collected through the online questionnaire and was tested with partial least squares regression and multigroup analysis. Results suggest that task-technology fit and satisfaction are important predictors of the continuance intention to use mobile banking. Confirmation also indirectly affects the continuance intention through the mediating effect of satisfaction. Significant differences were identified in perceiving the impact of task-technology fit on continuance intention for the age and education level subsamples.","PeriodicalId":429700,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transitions and Innovation Systems","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123568067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study investigates a sample of 15 family firms in which the generational transition has already taken place. In conclusion, the research supports the hypothesis of a link between the evolution of the young entrepreneurs' values and the successful generational transition and shows that it is not the level of the single socio-emotional component that matters, but rather the complex balance that is produced within each family business, thanks to the interaction between the role of the young entrepreneur on the one hand, and the family and organisational contexts on the other.","PeriodicalId":429700,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transitions and Innovation Systems","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124386260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is a constant endeavour by companies to innovate in various technologies and activity tracking wristbands are no exception. These smart devices are mainly designed to monitor physical activities, sleep trends, and health information on a continuous manner. However, the functions of these devices are limited to neither fitness nor health tracking. Due to the multi-criteria nature of the adoption of these devices, it is critical to assimilate how people view and assess each criterion which has been lacking in the existing literature. This paper evaluates the importance levels of these criteria and their sub-criteria for university students using hierarchical decision model (HDM). Moreover, with the goal of understanding the practicality of the study, nine fitness tracking wristband products are evaluated based on the perspectives and criteria weights obtained from the model and desirability curves and scores.","PeriodicalId":429700,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transitions and Innovation Systems","volume":"193 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125858878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We carried out a literature, using most common sources. 80 articles, issued in different journals, from a wide range of fields, were found. The majority of articles are empirical; we didn’t find any literature review on CSR in family business. Research findings show that CSR in family business is a topic that has been analysed since 2003, but the literature is very limited and fragmented. Some authors underline that family business are more socially responsible than nonfamily firms, others suggest that there are not differences between family and nonfamily businesses. Family firms have special links with local community and they have a particular focus on social and environmental issues. Moreover, they have strong ties with their stakeholders, nevertheless some authors underline that family ownership has a negative correlation with employees and the community in relation to CSR performance. In the light of findings of the literature review, we propose that future research should analyse more in depth how the distinctive features of family firms may have an impact on the adoption of CSR practices, as well differences in the CSR approach within different kinds of family businesses.","PeriodicalId":429700,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transitions and Innovation Systems","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122626296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little is known about the roles that lay people may play in scientific research; moreover, management and organisational challenges characterise the implementation of a socially-distributed mode of knowledge production. To shed light into this issue, we performed a realist literature review that involved 81 papers. The study findings suggested that lay people may variously contribute in knowledge co-production; their role depends on the degree of autonomy they have and on the type of relationship they establish with expert scientists. The propensity of expert scientists and lay people to bring diverging inputs in knowledge co-production should be acknowledged and carefully addressed, in order to avoid drawbacks on the knowledge production ability of research institutions. The outcomes of citizen science projects should be assessed from both an economic and a societal point of view.","PeriodicalId":429700,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Transitions and Innovation Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129038738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
