Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the use of social media can facilitate employee creativity. Departing from theories on social capital and knowledge management, this study examines the relationship among individual characteristics, the use of social technologies and employee creativity. The main hypothesis of the study is that online social networking mediates the relationship between personal innovativeness and creativity. Design/methodology/approach Data were obtained through an online survey of 80 engineers and 12 managers working in a large IT company listed by the Fortune 500 (n1=80, n2=12). The empirical strategy relies on fixed-effects structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis with a quasi-experimental design to study the structural relationship among creativity, online social connectivity (OSC) and personal innovativeness. Findings The study provides three major findings. First, the results show that personal innovativeness regarding new technologies is positively associated with creativity. Second, 18 percent of the association between personal innovativeness and creativity is explained by the latent mediator OSC (a construct of online networking and knowledge management). More specifically, the partial mediation is driven by online networking, specifically establishing new connections. Finally, contrary to the expectations, there is no significant evidence that the relationship between creativity and personal innovativeness is mediated by online social knowledge management. Practical implications Understanding the ways in which online connections and online knowledge management as well as personal innovativeness are related to employee creativity helps in building innovative organizations. This study may facilitate recruitment and selection strategies and encourage organizations to implement platforms with user-friendly functionalities of connecting with other employees and searching data. Originality/value The main question of this study is whether all features related to social technologies make people more creative. Evidence is still scarce, but there are hints that creativity is not only an innate personal feature but also a social phenomenon. This study explains the benefits of OSC for enhancing employee creativity.

“…Innovation, at the same time, also positively influences entrepreneurship. This relationship is known from previous research (Walley et al, 2017), although tested by considering marketing and innovation capabilities independently. As such, our finding contributes to extend existing knowledge by showing the combined effect of both constructs on entrepreneurship.…”

“…As Coulson-Thomas (2017) notes, creative ideas need to be transformed, implemented and commercialized for innovation to occur, which requires entrepreneurial skills as well as an innovation-oriented organizational culture (Walley et al, 2017). Thus, innovation is considered as an important antecedent of entrepreneurship (Yu et al, 2013).…”

Entrepreneurship plays an important role on economic development. However, its antecedents are still an under-explored topic. As such, this research seeks to identify the factors that influence entrepreneurship by the relationship between the theoretical fields of entrepreneurship and the Resource Based View. To test the hypothesis, a quantitative study was conducted using survey data from a sample of 118 Angolan entrepreneurs. The results from partial least squares (PLS) allow identifying marketing capabilities; access to financial resources, and innovation capabilities as determinants of entrepreneurship. No significant relation was observed in the link between market experience and customer orientation on entrepreneurship. The implications for business practice and policy making are discussed in the conclusions.

“…Diffusion innovation theory is the leading innovation acceptance theory often applied to the adaptation of research innovations in general and studies that focus on innovation adaptation (Thakur et al, 2016). It is a series of events in which a person develops initial knowledge about an innovation, establishes an opinion about it, and decides to adopt or reject it (Walley et al, 2017). The characteristics of individual business owners who have innovative behaviors are: 1) Finding out innovative knowledge, processes, techniques, and new ideas, 2) Generating creative ideas, 3) Advancing and championing ideas to others, 4) Researching and providing the necessary resources to realize new ideas, 5) Developing a mature plan and schedule to realize the new idea, and 6) Staying creative (Pilav-Velic et al, 2020; Stauffer, 2015).…”

“…The ability to innovate has always contributed to a business's success. Organizations with a solid motivation to innovate and a climate that allows them to drive innovative ideas will innovate quickly and successfully (Walley et al, 2017). Topline management knowledge, especially from the production department, is essential in the awareness and management of alternative products for allergen consumers (Kwon et al, 2020;Sogut et al, 2015).…”

The development of the coffee business as a small and medium enterprise (SME) shows positive things with the increasing number of coffee, which means an abundance of existing coffee grounds. There is a lack of research on entrepreneur perspectives on coffee waste management. This study aims to analyze the perspective of coffee shop entrepreneurs in managing coffee waste and converting waste into alternative energy for sustainable and environmentally friendly prospects. Respondents in this study were 201 coffee shop owners in Bekasi, Indonesia, who received questionnaires using the snowball sampling technique; for data analysis, the paper used PLS-SEM. This study found that the entrepreneur perspective significantly affects coffee waste management, encouraging the sustainability of coffee shops. The results of the R-Square analysis show that coffee shop owner awareness is strongly influenced by coffee waste management knowledge (93.6%); the attitude of coffee shop owners is influenced by coffee waste management knowledge and coffee shop owner awareness (92.5%); and the coffee waste management behavior is influenced by coffee shop owner awareness and attitude of coffee shop owners (97.8%). In addition, entrepreneurs’ excellent attitudes and awareness toward the potential of coffee grounds encourage them to carry out better waste management through sorting procedures to convert coffee grounds into alternative energy. AcknowledgmentThis study is funded by the Directorate of Research and Development, Universitas Indonesia, under Hibah PUTI 2022 (Grant No. NKB-1364/UN2.RST/HKP.05.00/2022).
