摘要

中小型企业(SMEs)面临着创新以保持竞争力的挑战,需要在利用现有知识和探索新途径之间取得平衡。这种对组织灵活性的追求对中小企业的生存和绩效至关重要。然而,对组织灵活性活动的前因,如企业家的行为和能力等的研究却很有限。本文整合了有关探索、利用、领导风格和个人应变能力的文献,以了解企业家如何塑造组织的灵活性。具体而言,本文探讨了领导风格(即变革型、交易型和自由放任型)对组织灵活性的影响,以及个人抗压能力的调节作用。通过对 140 名意大利企业家进行分层回归分析,研究发现变革型领导风格会对组织的灵活性产生积极影响,而个人应变能力在变革型和交易型领导风格中都发挥着重要的调节作用。论文强调了企业家作为中小企业决策者的关键作用,并研究了他们的领导风格和应变能力。总之,本文有助于讨论探索和开发活动的前因的重要性,响应了对企业家行为和能力的影响进行更深入研究的呼吁。

Increasing organisational ambidexterity: The role of entrepreneurs’ leadership styles and individual resilience

Increasing organisational ambidexterity: The role of entrepreneurs’ leadership styles and individual resilience

SMEs (small and medium enterprises) face the challenge of innovation to maintain competitiveness, balancing the exploitation of existing knowledge with the exploration of new avenues. This pursuit of organisational ambidexterity is crucial for SME survival and performance. However, limited research focuses on the antecedents of organisational ambidexterity activities, such as entrepreneurs’ behaviours and abilities. This paper integrates literature on exploration, exploitation, leadership styles, and individual resilience to understand how entrepreneurs shape organisational ambidexterity. Specifically, it explores the impact of leadership styles (i.e. transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire) on organisational ambidexterity and the moderating role of individual resilience. Through hierarchical regression analyses of 140 Italian entrepreneurs, the study finds that transformational leadership style positively influences organisational ambidexterity, and that individual resilience plays an important moderating role both in the case of transformational and transactional leadership styles. The paper emphasises the pivotal role of entrepreneurs as decision-makers in SMEs and investigates their leadership styles and resilience. Overall, the paper contributes to the discussion about the importance of the antecedents of exploration and exploitation activities, answering the call for a more in-depth investigation of the impact of entrepreneurs’ behaviours and abilities.

期刊介绍: Competition in international markets was traditionally the realm of large companies, with smaller firms tending to remain local or regional. Internationalisation was an expansion option of interest to some enterprises, but seldom was it a competitive necessity. Many opted to avoid the uncertainties of competing in foreign markets, and simply kept their firms small and local. Traditional internationalisation theories, therefore, focused mainly on large multinational corporations, and were less pertinent to smaller firms. With the liberalisation of trade, however, domestic firms are threatened by international competitors that are penetrating formerly protected markets. Nowadays, internationalisation affects everyone, whether or not they wish to internationalise themselves. The threats and opportunities of internationalisation must be addressed. Globalisation is transforming the competitive environment of small and large players alike. As a result, internationalisation issues will continue to be increasingly important to business. Public policy agendas already include programmes to help entrepreneurs become successful at internationalisation. There is a growing need to understand internationalisation in the context of entrepreneurship, as well as large multinationals. Knowledge of how, when and why firms internationalise - either incrementally or not - will surely be the focus of energetic researchers. Yet, up to now, academia has been lacking a journal dedicated to internationalisation issues. To fill this niche, the aforementioned editorial team wishes to offer an outlet for high-quality research addressing the opportunities and challenges intrinsic to internationalisation. The primary audience for this journal will be researchers of entrepreneurship and international business. In addition, readership is certain to include business-people and policy-makers. The editors invite submissions that analyse internationalisation, combining theore tical and empirical work. Researchers will be encouraged to conduct comparative studies, and to evaluate competing theories. The composition of the editorial team - including experts in international business and experts in entrepreneurship - is designed to avoid editorial bias. Every effort will be made to reach a first decision about a submission, within sixty days. Officially cited as: J Int Entrep
