“…Knowledge sharing is considered not only the key part of encouraging employees' innovative behaviors and activities [67][68][69], but also the basic tool for stimulating critical thinking, and thus, upgrading ideas into innovation capability [70]. Internal knowledge sharing has a positive effect on the in-house strategy and will help shape the organizational innovative strategy [71].…”

In a period of rapid information development and response to the impact of environmentalism on the company, how to effectively promote organizational members embracing knowledge sharing behavior through knowledge management will be an important issue in corporate green management. This article proposes a new integrated multi-level research framework based on organizational identity theory and psychological ownership theory to further analyze enterprise green management. Utilizing the data of 73 supervisors and 583 subordinates in Taiwan’s small- or medium-sized enterprises, results of the hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analysis revealed that green group identification at the team level affects organizational members in terms of green product psychological ownership and green knowledge sharing as well as how green knowledge sharing, green creativity, and green product development performance are influenced when members get their green product psychological ownership. The results of the study validate the antecedents and consequences of green knowledge sharing and broaden the field of knowledge management for green management related to environmental behavior and performance, aside from providing valuable insights for relevant practitioners.

Innovation has become a necessity in order to overcome some challenging times in the rapid changing world. The world's paradigm is shifting towards sustainable development and shared values. Even though numerous benefits of innovating the public sector (PS) have been recognised worldwide, the concept of public sector innovation (PSI) is still new for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The complex and stratified structure of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) and its PS has been forever standing in the way of any larger progress. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the development of PSI in FBiH as an opportunity to enhance the performance of public services, increase their efficiency, and decrease the costs.The research was completed by using a mixed-method approach in order to analyse the concept of innovation in the PS. The primary data was collected through semi-structured interviews with the management and a survey with close-ended questions which was completed by the employees of the public sector institutions in FBiH. The method of structural equation modelling was used in order to test the research hypotheses.A part of this paper is analysing the main PSI drivers and challenges. The results show that the main obstacles to PSI are the institutional system and the regulations in the FBiH. On the other side, the manager and employees are considered to be the largest drivers of public sector innovation in FBiH. The paper concludes with several recommendations on how to overcome the main barriers of public sector innovation in FBiH.

“…The gender-related context, when viewed alongside the relevant contemporary research, is broad; for example, Blake and Hanson (2005) argued that the social and geographical contexts of an innovation are elementary to its identification as being "innovative". They also noted how the numerous instances of innovation, occurring in economic sectors, are typically ignored or undervalued by current research (Blake & Hanson, 2005;Abukhait et al, 2019). Danilda and Thorslund (2011) presented ways in which companies in Sweden and Norway seek to gain a competitive advantage through the integration of gender perspective in innovation work, as an example of the research related to the gender role in the culture of innovation within organisations (Ghaye & Gunnarsson, 2009).…”

The subject-related literature provided information about the skills, education, and formal competencies required to join teams working on the innovation process. According to findings presented in this article, the previous studies have investigated insufficiently the gender-related issues in the decisions of managers who involve specialists in the innovation process. Thus, the purpose of this research was to identify, examine, and describe differences in the participation of men and women in the innovation process, considering their personal characteristics, attitudes, and behaviours. The research covered 1,164 innovative companies – beneficiaries of the European Union Cohesion Policy of 2007–2013. The survey was distributed independently to women and men participating in innovative activities in the researched companies. Two independent responses were received from each company; thus, two independent data samples were created. Both data composition and preliminary analysis adhere to the requirements of Principal Component Analysis. The results allow for the new design proposal to increase the effectiveness of teams working on innovation-focused tasks. In addition to education and experience, managers can now consider personal characteristics and better select women and men to drive innovation.
