This study investigated the unexplored impact of altruistic leadership (AL) on knowledge hiding by assessing the mediating role of team learning (TL) and knowledge culture (KC) in this relationship. Structural equation modeling was used to test 14 hypotheses based on primary data from 368 surveyed Slovakian companies representing diverse enterprises. Data were gathered from various companies spanning a range of industries, including manufacturing, education, wholesale and retail, construction, and information technology. Of these, 164 were from micro-enterprises, 114 were from small enterprises, 67 were from medium-sized enterprises, and 23 were from large enterprises. This article reveals how AL can mitigate the negative effects of knowledge hiding by supporting TL and cultivating a KC. These findings indicate that leaders who exhibit altruistic behavior positively influence TL, enhancing KC and reducing instances of knowledge hiding. The primary data tested in our model confirm that selfless leadership reduces knowledge hiding by encouraging TL and KC. This suggests that, when selecting team leaders, their level of altruism should be considered. The roles of TL and KC in promoting knowledge sharing within organizations and emphasizing the importance of team effectiveness and mutual communication are crucial. This study contributes to the existing literature by examining the direct impact of AL on knowledge-hiding behavior, demonstrating how AL promotes TL and a knowledge-sharing culture, thereby eliminating knowledge hiding, including the practical implications. Future qualitative studies and research extending to other locations could help deepen our understanding of these relationships and incorporate additional concepts and factors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142534255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whether firms can benefit from their history imprints to facilitate innovation strategies is an increasingly important, yet under-researched, question.

Drawing on the history-informed perspective and imprint theory, we investigate how firm- and strategic-level factors moderate these relationships. Using a survey of manufacturing firms in China and applying hierarchical multiple regressions, we find that, while history imprint positively influences exploitation, it negatively affects exploration. Interestingly, the positive impact of history imprint on exploitation is stronger for family firms, and information sharing attenuates the negative effect on exploration. These results underscore the importance of considering history in innovative decision-making and suggest that firms, particularly family-owned ones, should adopt specific practices to balance the benefits of their history imprints with the need for innovation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study attempts to address this gap by examining how emotions influence efficient managerial decision-making, generating a modern perspective for organizational theory beyond the existing theoretical paradigm. The concept of managerial decision-making is approached through three dependent variables: strategic planning, innovative crisis management, and pragmatism. This study analyzed the responses of 151 managers of small- and medium-sized firms in Greece collected during field research in 2023. Emotions are perceived as unique information that interacts with other factors, such as the conscious evaluation of inputs. The analysis of emotions was based on a modified understanding of the anthropological term of emotional culture. The findings demonstrate that emotional culture contributes to managerial decision-making. Influential variables included basic emotions, emotions that communicate motives, cultural values, fast and slow thinking, and demographics. These variables highlight the interaction of pure emotional and rational factors in managerial decision-making.

However, there are significant gaps in the literature regarding the structured assessment of these ecosystems. This study addresses three main research gaps: the lack of structured evaluation methods, the need for a comprehensive analysis of ecosystem challenges from various perspectives, and the identification of critical factors essential for ecosystem growth. To bridge these gaps, the research introduces the Hierarchical Decision Model (HDM) as a universal assessment framework that can be adapted to different cities for creating effective entrepreneurial environments. The research methodology involved formulating perspectives and criteria through literature reviews and expert interviews. These perspectives and criteria were validated by subject matter experts and quantified by other experts to assign relative weights to each. Desirability curves were developed to measure these criteria, scored by experts. The practical applicability of the HDM was demonstrated through a case study of Riyadh, showcasing the model's effectiveness in real-world scenarios. Key findings include the identification and ranking of twenty critical criteria across five main perspectives, along with the development of desirability curves for each criterion. This provides a practical, easy-to-implement evaluation tool for policymakers. The contributions of this research are multifaceted: it introduces HDM to the field of entrepreneurship ecosystem assessment, offers a practical model for ecosystem performance measurement, and presents a framework for policy improvements. Additionally, it highlights the importance of continuous model refinement and the inclusion of diverse case studies for broader validation. Future research should focus on expanding the model to include sub-models for different regions and stages of startups’ development, ensuring its ongoing relevance and applicability. The findings show the most effective factors (perspectives and criteria) in developing entrepreneurial ecosystems and provide a method to measure the level of each criterion without requiring deep knowledge of the methodology, making it easier to implement the model in any ecosystem with any experts. The research offers an explicit case study evaluation of Riyadh's entrepreneurial ecosystem and provides recommendations for improvement areas. This study contributes to the technology management body of knowledge, particularly in the context of entrepreneurship ecosystems, presenting a universal assessment model for measuring ecosystem performance in any city.
