Item Restricted THE INFLUENCE OF LEADERSHIP STYLE ON INNOVATION: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF JOB SATISFACTION IN SAUDI HOSPITALS IN RIYADH(LINCOLN UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, 2024-08) Almughim, Tareq Mohamed; Abdulsamad, AkramThe study goal of this study is to examine the influence of direct empirical relationship between leadership styles, job satisfaction and innovation. In addition, this study examined the mediating role of job satisfaction as a mediator in the relationship between leadership styles dimensions (transformational leadership, transactional leadership, organizational commitment, laissez faire leadership) and innovation in Saudi healthcare. The PLS path coefficient showed four (4) formulated direct and indirect hypotheses had a significant effect on job satisfaction and innovation among employees of healthcare in the Saudi Arabia. The study establishes that job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between leadership styles and innovation, with high leadership styles having a strong positive influence on innovation and job satisfaction in Saudi hospitals. Thus, leadership styles, such as transformational leadership, transactional leadership, organizational commitment, laissez faire leadership all contribute to job satisfaction and services and PIN in Saudi hospitals. Furthermore, the findings contribute to the ongoing discourse about the importance of job satisfaction by examining the distinctive mediating effect of leadership styles on innovation among employees of healthcare in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, the results of this study indicate that hospitals leaders, policymakers, and government organization officials must understand the reasons why employees of healthcare in Saudi Arabia have job dissatisfaction. Finally, the study gives insights into the state of leadership styles in Saudi hospitals and its impact on job satisfaction and innovation among Saudi healthcare and provides points of reference for academics, practitioners, and policymakers.10 0Item Restricted An evaluation of the effectiveness of innovation ecosystems in facilitating the adoption of sustainable entrepreneurship(ProQuest Dissertations Publishin, 2023-07-17) Bakry, Dana Sami; Daim, Tugrul U.Sustainable entrepreneurship has a substantial role of a steadily growing economy and advanced industrial economies. Several strategies have been formed and employed to support the adoption of innovation and technologies in the sustainable entrepreneurship sector. However, the successful outcome of these strategies in achieving their goals depends on how effective they are in satisfying their objectives and thus increasing innovation adoption. One measurement for effectiveness of ecosystem implements can be their support to the input of the process of innovation and technologies adoption and their impact on satisfying regional goals. The objective of this research is evaluating the effectiveness of innovation ecosystem instruments on increasing the adoption of innovation in sustainable entrepreneurship by developing a comprehensive assessment decision model. Strategy targets used in this assessment depend on five perspectives that are perceived by decision makers as important for the adoption process. The decision model linked the perspectives to ecosystem targets and various innovation ecosystem instruments. These perspectives are economic, environmental, social, technical, and ethical. The research implemented the hierarchical decision model (HDM) to construct a generalized ecosystem assessment framework. The HDM model has the ability to be generalizable and can utilize in different regions. Also, in this research, the desirability curves methodology is implemented. This methodology will help the researcher in the future to consider any additional alternatives. As it is mentioned before, Desirability Curve describes how desirable a certain assessment variable is for the decision-maker according to expert judgments. Finally, two case studies were conducted to demonstrate the practicality of this assessment model. The model pointed to the weakness and strengths of Saudi Arabia’s and China’s Innovation Ecosystem in facilitating the adoption of sustainable entrepreneurship along with providing recommendations for areas of improvement based on desirability curves.38 0
