This paper examines the motivational foundations, based on intrinsic and/or extrinsic factors, of knowledge creation, sharing and transferring process within manufacturing firms in an innovation perspective. First, using French data set, we study the interrelationships between knowledge...

The present paper proposes a new way of thinking regarding the relation between innovation and knowledge using a Physics-borrowed model, trying to prove whether knowledge resources can "flow" (be percolated) in a network or a grid, in order to be transformed in technological innovation. In the...

The current study employs social cognitive theory to analyze the moderated mediation model of self-leadership and innovative work behavior. Further, this research assesses the mediating impact of knowledge sharing, and the moderating effect of creative self-efficacy in the above-mentioned direct...
