It also considers perceived opacity as a boundary condition on the relationship between knowledge acquisition and creativity. The empirical evidence is drawn from a three-wave, multi-source dataset of 426 matched employee–supervisor pairs in AI-intensive industries in China. The findings suggest that these perceived GenAI characteristics are positively linked to both knowledge acquisition and information support, which are in turn positively associated with employee creativity. Perceived opacity weakens the positive relationship between knowledge acquisition and creativity. This study extends research on AI-enabled creativity by distinguishing employees’ perceptions of GenAI characteristics from the affordances they actualize in practice, and by specifying the intermediate processes through which such perceptions become consequential for creative outcomes. The findings also offer practical implications for organizations seeking to design and implement GenAI systems that better support employees’ creativity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50209,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technology Management","volume":"82 ","pages":"Article 102023"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149201267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing research has largely examined collaboration antecedents in isolation, offering limited insight into how collaboration emerges in complex multi-unit organizations. Drawing on the Motivation-Opportunity-Ability (MOA) framework, this study reconceptualizes cross-unit collaboration as a configurational outcome shaped by the interplay of motivational conditions (strategic cognition consensus and technical collaboration demand), opportunity conditions (institutional opportunity window and organizational slack), and ability conditions (boundary-spanning capability and digital collaboration capability). Using a mixed-method design—qualitative evidence from six enterprises followed by fsQCA of 38 organizational units (19 dyads)—we uncover four equifinal configurations associated with high collaboration performance and two associated with low performance. These findings reveal that effective collaboration arises from different alignments of motivational, opportunity-related, and ability-based conditions—strategic alignment, process-linked integration, hierarchical response, and cluster-based knowledge integration—rather than from a single set of antecedents. This study advances a configurational explanation of cross-unit R&D collaboration, extends the MOA framework to complex multi-unit settings, and offers practical insights into alternative coordination arrangements for system-level innovation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50209,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technology Management","volume":"82 ","pages":"Article 102019"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149160895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines public versus private ESO engagement in Taiwan, a government-intensive setting in which approximately 70% of ESOs are publicly managed. Using a mixed-methods design that combines qualitative insights with survival analysis, we study 548 ventures (281 events) affiliated with AppWorks and Garage+ (private) or FITI and TIEC (public), with follow-up through April 2025. Three findings emerge. First, broader ESO engagement does not confer a survival advantage. Multiple-ESO ventures exhibit significantly different event timing, and both ventures participating in three programs eventually disbanded. These findings suggest a potential “more is worse” pattern, in which strategic focus may be more beneficial than breadth of engagement. Second, the log-rank test does not detect a significant private–public difference. Five- and ten-year Kaplan–Meier estimates are 67.2% and 45.9% for the full sample; public point estimates are modestly higher than private ones, but confidence intervals overlap and the public risk set thins sharply after year 10. Third, founder social-network visibility is associated with a lower hazard, whereas education and experience are not significant standalone predictors; SN is also lower among FITI-supported ventures than among the other three ESOs. The study contributes longitudinal evidence from a non-Western, government-dominated ecosystem and shows that ownership type alone does not produce a durable survival advantage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50209,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technology Management","volume":"82 ","pages":"Article 102016"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149201269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on 90 impact case studies from the UK Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021, we identify three primary roles played by arts and cultural collaborators: users of research, providers of knowledge and resources, and co-creators of research. The findings show that different modes of involvement are associated with distinct pathways of societal change. When arts and cultural actors act as resource providers, benefits tend to accrue to organisations and communities directly connected to the collaboration. Co-creative engagement is associated with broader societal change extending beyond the original project and its immediate partners.

Network coupling is associated with higher invention impact and lower invention novelty and generality. This pattern indicates a translation-exploration tradeoff: overlapping project and invention relationships help firms codify field experience into inventions that attract follow-on attention within related technological trajectories, while anchoring search in familiar project frames and concentrating technological scope. Emerging technology weakens the negative association between coupling and novelty, and technological diversity weakens the negative associations with novelty and generality.

Using a quantitative approach and SEM-PLS analysis, 302 responses were collected through the Prolific platform in Europe. The results reveal that luxury brands proposing NFTs are perceived to be aesthetic, extraordinary, popular, and sub-cultural, which have an impact on brand reputation, brand self-connection and brand values, leading to perceived enjoyment and positive attitudes towards the purchasing of NFTs.
