The relationship between social capital and R&D team innovation has received increasing attention in the literature. However, little is known about the mechanisms between the two. This study aims to narrow the gap by investigating the mediating roles of psychological safety and learning from mistakes between the three dimensions of social capital and innovation at team level. Our sample comprised 151 R&D teams with 585 members from nine Chinese high-tech companies. The results showed that psychological safety and learning from mistakes (LFM) partially mediated the relationship between the structural and cognitive capital and innovation in R&D teams, and fully mediated the relationship between the relational capital and innovation in R&D teams. We further discussed subsequent managerial implications and future research directions.

“…Alternatively, qualitative studies may be conducted to explore context‐sensitive aspects of team interactions. This is likely to develop new knowledge in understanding the relationship between social capital and innovation in teams in the Chinese context and to enrich global knowledge on teams (Wang, ).…”

“…In addressing the research question, we took an alternative western career anchor scale and uncovered an initial picture of a varied PSM in the Chinese context. Further in‐depth understanding of PSM in China will require adopting qualitative approaches such as phenomenology, grounded theory method, or anthropology methods to explore the Chinese civil service phenomenon in order to develop indigenous scale (Tsui ; Wang ). The resulting scale may include items in cultural aspiration, personal calling, political and ideological obligations, and even familial tradition, among other context‐sensitive aspects.…”

“…However , the PSM literature has overlooked an important fact that the PSM scale as designed is context‐sensitive and is subject to cultural and sociopolitical conditions (Tsui ; Wang ). While cultural context has been noted by a few in the PSM literature (Kim ; Ko and Han ), the nature of government and associated sociopolitical contexts have not been explicitly accommodated, especially for the case of China.…”

The western concept and scale of public service motivation (PSM) have recently been generalized to China. We analyze the western-centric PSM scale in the Chinese cultural, historical, and sociopolitical contexts. We find that PSM scale developed in the United States has limited applicability and generalizability in China. Instead, we adopt the career orientation inventory as an alternative to measure Chinese PSM with a sample of 403 government employees in relation to their job and career satisfactions and job involvement. We found that lifestyle, security and stability, technical/ functional competence and service dedication to a cause were dominating motives for Chinese civil servants studied. The results not only partially explained the recent puzzling 'civil servant fever' phenomenon taking place in China, but also demonstrated that not all western developed scales could be directly adopted to the Chinese contexts. We offer important implications and future directions for research on PSM in the Chinese context.

“…This transition has witnessed scholars undertaking research as individual intellectual activity that is empirical-based and guided by scientific research methodology. While the community has made significant progress in research and publications in the international realm in the recent decades (Tsui, 2009;Wang, 2012), serious problems have also been reported regarding academic misconduct and related Research integrity and excellence ethics issues ( Jacobs, 2010;Michel, 2010;Qiu, 2010), partially due to limited systematic discipline and academic training in research ethics (Tsui and Galaskiewicz, 2011). Specifically, serious plagiarism and misconduct of all kinds has been prevailing as observed by the local and international academic research and editorial communities ( Jacobs, 2010;Michel, 2010;Qiu, 2010).…”

AbstractPurpose -This editorial essay aims to focus on research integrity and commitment to excellence by analyzing the transitioning symptom associated with the Chinese research community as causes for concerns in research ethics and misconduct. The authors highlight their editorial process and practice in safeguarding research integrity at JCHRM and address related ethical issues on duplicate submissions in relation to their editorial experience. Design/methodology/approach -This article adopts an approach combining literature review and reflexive analysis. Findings -The current academic misconduct and ethical concerns in China are caused by a number of concurrent counterforces: increased attractive opportunities in moonlighting; research mindset rooted in the traditional learning orientation on imitation and contemporary education on rote learning; and heightened publication-based performance requirement enforced by the government and institutions. These counterforces are further complicated by the ongoing socio-cultural context, e.g. the drinking and eating culture. The authors report their editorial steps in safeguarding research integrity and commitment to excellence. In relation to submitting translated published papers to an English journal, they emphasize that originality is the core. They are committed to facilitate the transition of Chinese HRM research community to conform to the international standard. Originality/value -This article links professional ethics, research integrity, and commitment to excellence to developing Chinese scholarly human resources. It articulates specific goals, principles, and responsibilities of JCHRM editorial practices for promoting high-quality Chinese HRM research.
