This study aimed, first, to examine the joint effect of servant and authentic leadership (AUL) styles on employee creativity (EC), second, to examine the direct and mediated effect of servant leadership (SL) on employees' innovative work behaviour (IWB), third, to examine the effect of EC on IWB and finally, to investigate the moderating effect of creative self-efficacy (CSE) on the relationship between AUL and EC.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative approach was used, and the data were collected from 446 employees in the Qatari public sector. The data were then analysed by employing partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS software to validate the measures before testing the proposed model.FindingsThe results of this study emphasized the strong hypothesized link between EC and IWB. It also endorsed the mediating role of EC between SL and IWB and the moderating role of CSE in the AUL-EC relationship.Originality/valueThe originality of this study comes from various aspects. First, it is unique in separately examining EC and innovation and the link between them. Second, it investigates the joint impact of servant and AUL styles on EC. Third, it explores the mediating role of EC between SL and IWB. Fourth, the moderating effect of CSE on the AUL-EC link also was examined to gain a full understanding of the relation effect. Finally, the value of the current study also comes from the integration of the triangular theory of creativity, SL and AUL theories and self-efficacy theory to explain the proposed model of the study. Moreover, this study serves as a guideline for decision-makers on how to enhance IWB among employees by focusing on leadership programmes and the creative and innovative culture.

Additionally, a quantitative meta-analysis was conducted of prior studies on the UTAUT in an attempt to make well-grounded statements of previous relationship results. Also, the UTAUT results were compared by regarding of country, year and results. The finding of this study confirms that same theory and same variables have different results in different countries with different cultural background. Therefore, owing to the inconsistency of the results among the UTAUT variables, there is a need to test and examine the variables in different environment such as unstable environment (conflicts and violence environment).

However, Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies are an important part of the transition to CE for environmentally friendly companies. In this study, we examine whether regulatory pressure (RP) and competitive pressure (CP) toward sustainability motivate firms to implement I4.0 technologies for CE, along with the mediating effects of environmental orientation (EO). PLS‐SEM via SmartPLS software was used to analyze data from 230 managers in the automotive and auto component manufacturing industries in India. The findings of this study showed that RP and CP positively influence I4.0 adoption, which impacts CE capability. Furthermore, EO partially mediates the relationship between RP and CP with I4.0 technologies. As a practical implementation of this study, to transition to CE and contribute to sustainable development, managers need to deal effectively with RP and CP. Several implications for theory and practice are discussed at the end of the study.

Drawing on the stakeholder theory and Supplies‐values Fit Theory, this study explored the mediating role of green HRM practices on the relationship between consumer pressure and green innovation under the moderating effect of individual green values. By using the quantitative research design, the data for the study were gathered from 257 manufacturing SMEs in India and analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis (PROCESS Macro) in SPSS. Empirical findings show that consumer pressure is positively associated with green innovation through green HRM practices which increase when the firm's employees have stronger individual green values. Thus, this study expands our understanding of consumer pressure toward green innovation and its underlying mechanism and conditional effect. Toward the end, the theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Results of the study showed that subjective norms significantly moderate the relationship between attitudes and buying intention as well as between perceived behavior control and buying intention. Furthermore, subjective norms significantly influence attitude towards buying intention.The paper provides useful insights for the academics and marketers:Academics may further explore the role of subjective norms in order to have a better understanding of their effects on component of TPB.Whereas, marketers can target the o...

A questionnaire survey was used to collect the data from 274 external auditors working in Big-four firms, non-Big-four international firms, local firms and sole practitioners working in Yemen. To test the proposed hypotheses, the Partial Least Squares, Structural Equations Modeling Approach was employed.The model with direct effects and moderating effect achieves an appropriate level of predictive validity for the key endogenous construct (auditors' performance).In addition, the findings of the statistical results confirmed the significant effect of the IT knowledge, regulations of professional bodies, and fi...

Design/methodology/approach A survey questionnaire was used to collect the data from Dubai Police Departments. Out of the questionnaires distributed, 320 completed usable were returned and used for the analysis which employed partial least squares structural equation modelling methodology. Findings The results showed that there are positive and significant relationships between ERP, organizational excellence, TQM, and organizational performance. In addition, TQM was found to partially mediate the effect of ERP on organizational performance, where organizational excellence was found to fully mediate the effect on the same relationship. However, the moderating role of E...

This study included different phases. The first phase was an extensive reading of the literature, followed by a content analysis of the selected literature. The aim of the content analysis was to identify key concepts and the general categories of these concepts. The final phase was a content analysis of the selected literature with the purpose of identifying the relationship between concepts. The outcome of this paper is to provide a comprehensive framework of the customer value proposition of the CCU–formic acid product and consequently support global research efforts in sustainability. This framework contains two general dimensions: market knowledge and customer value. The first dimension includes five variables: the customers’ acceptance...
