This study investigates the impact of institutional reward systems related to ownership of inventions on employees’ creativity. We argue that due to differences in legal regulations across countries, inventors from different nationalities may hold distinct expectations regarding whether their innovative ideas should be owned by them or their organization, and how they should be compensated for transferring the ownership to their employer. Misalignments in expected and actual rewards can impact inventors’ creative output by influencing perceptions of psychological ownership and fairness. Using a unique dataset from a multinational corporation, our findings indicate that inventors who anticipate being rewarded for transferring ownership of their creative ideas but receive no reward—those perceiving removed ownership rights—are less likely to generate creative ideas. In contrast, inventors who do not expect such a reward but receive it—those perceiving an attribution of ownership rights—are more likely to generate creative ideas. We also find that the negative impact associated with the removal of ownership rights is more pronounced for female inventors compared to their male counterparts while the positive impact associated with the attribution of ownership rights is higher for male inventors. Our study contributes to psychological ownership, fairness, and gender literatures.

Objectives: This study investigates the mediating role of Organizational Learning Capability (OLC) in the relationship between Transformational Leadership (TL), Work-Life Balance (WLB), and Frugal Innovation (FI) within the transformation sector organizations in Santa Catarina, Brazil.

Theoretical Framework: This study assesses how LT and WLB, mediated by CAO, affect FI development. It addresses a literature gap by exploring the combined potential of these under-researched resources to advance FI.

Methodology: Utilizing a sample of 355 organizations from the transformation sector in Santa Catarina, Brazil, the study employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze the data.

Results/Implications: The findings indicate that both TL and WLB positively correlate with FI when mediated by OLC, supporting the hypothesis that OLC plays a crucial role in enhancing the relationship between leadership, WLB, and FI. Particularly during crisis periods, this learning capability is essential for organizational adaptation and survival. Theoretically, this research enriches the discourse on factors that promote or inhibit FI, a relatively understudied area. Practically, it offers leaders and business owners valuable insights into leveraging frugal innovation strategies effectively in environments with limited resources.

The literature emphasizes the importance of promoting employees' innovative behavior (IB), especially in knowledge-intensive sectors like education, to achieve school innovation and provide high-quality educational services. In this line, the objective of the paper is to address the causal complexity in teachers' innovative behavior relevant drivers.

Theoretical framework: The analysis of the relationships between the variables studied has led us to consider multiple theoretical approaches, among which self-determination theory, social identity theory, social exchange theory and the ability motivation opportunity framework stand out.

Methodology: Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) was used to analyze combinations of causal determinants of innovative behavior and providing results in situations where causal asymmetry and equifinality may exist.

Results/implications: The study identifies different action paths that drive or hinder teachers' innovative behavior, providing a deeper understanding of this process. Specifically, Engagement is identified as a necessary condition for the presence of innovative behavior in teachers, and high-performance work systems and intrinsic motivation, such as a desire to make a positive impact on society, can also drive teachers to initiate and implement innovative solutions.

• Objetivos: Despite the increasing attention, there are still scarce contributions around the factors that better fit with a specific business model configuration on SMEs. The objective is to discover the best business model configuration depending on value dimensions.

• Marco teórico: The number of studies around the business model of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has increased during the last decade in several fields, such as entrepreneurship or strategic management. This research considers different antecedents of performance based on value dimensions.

• Metodología: This research develops two studies to gain a better understanding of this phenomenon. First, a multiple qualitative case study research provides insights into the value dimensions of different business model innovation configurations (evolutionary, adaptive, focused, and complex). Second, an extensive quantitative study drawing on 1328 European SMEs

• Resultados/implicaciones: offers valuable findings on the impact of value capture, value creation, and value proposition on business model innovation performance for each type of business model considered, from evolutionary to complex business models. The discussions offer recommendations on specific dimensions depending on the type of business model configuration adopted by the firm
