Impact Of Digital Leadership On Open Innovation: A Moderating Serial Mediation Model

The study examines the intervening role of knowledge sharing and innovation capability between digital leadership and open innovation. We hypothesized that top management knowledge value can strengthen the relationship between digital leadership and knowledge sharing. In line with the resource-based view and knowledge-based view, the serial mediation model explains how organizations can achieve open innovation through knowledge sharing and innovation capability development under digital leadership. Data is collected using a time-lagged design from 250 employees working in telecom and IT services companies. Results showed good support for the serial mediation model. Top management knowledge value was found a significant factor to improve knowledge sharing among employees. Future research directions have been discussed along with theoretical and practical implications.
