“…Although it has been confirmed herein that MASEM provides greater utility in identifying research differences than traditional meta-analysis, the size of the difference still depends on the efforts exerted by researchers in applying this method (Bergh et al, 2016). In other words, it is more valuable to apply MASEM to revisit the result of traditional meta-analysis when the difference is larger (Steinmetz & Block, 2022). In addition, MASEM provides strategic management researchers with an explanatory power by comparing different theoretical models (Davis, 2010).…”

This research introduces Meta-Analysis Structural Equation Modeling (MASEM), a novel method that integrates meta-analysis (MA) and structural equation modeling (SEM). The method helps researchers to comprehensively understand issues in the strategic management field. Applying MASEM to analyze data from 112 papers, covering 101,981 observations, the results can be summarized as follows. (1) Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) is significantly positively correlated with firm performance (FP), which addresses the issue of inconsistency among prior studies’ findings. (2) There is a significantly positive correlation between EO and market orientation (MO) and a significantly positive relationship between MO and FP, indicating that MO is a mediator variable to the EO-FP. (3) Environmental dynamism (ED) increases a positive link exists between MO and FP; in other words, compared to low ED, the presence of high ED enhances the correlation between MO and FP significantly. (4) ED influences the slope of MO’s function as a mediator between EO and FP - that is, high ED increases the slope of the intermediary effect of MO on the MO-FP nexus, and low ED reduces the slope of the mediation effect of MO on the MO-FP nexus. These findings provide new thoughts and insights for studies on the correlation between EO and FP and offer substantial suggestions for enterprises. The aforementioned results indicate that besides providing deeper insights and a more comprehensive understanding, MASEM presents deeper insights for researchers and is more efficient than the traditional meta-analysis method. Moreover, MASEM can be applied to in other fields and used with other methods for greater in-depth analyses. Overall, the MASEM technique herein has high reliability and validity when utilized for discussing relationships among variables and gives more comprehensive and accurate conclusions in theoretical and practical aspects.

“…However, our numbers indicate that both methods are still underrepresented in MRQ. Since we experience that current approaches in replication studies and meta-analyses are less known, we will continue to publish editorials and methodological articles that help authors navigate their research (Burgard and Steinmetz 2022;Hansen et al 2022;Steinmetz and Block 2022). Additionally, we invite authors to submit articles on reviewing methods that might inform other authors about how to conduct bibliographic studies, meta-analyses, replication studies, and structured literature reviews (e.g., Clark et al 2021).…”

The literature base of business and management research is constantly growing and becoming more complex. Hence, the need for an evidence-focused review journal such as Management Review Quarterly (MRQ) is also growing. Literature reviews, meta-analyses, replications, and bibliographic studies help to consolidate and integrate the field's evidence and knowledge and set the agenda for future research. MRQ has found its place in the management field and has seen a constant rise in the number of submissions and impact. This editorial aims to take stock. It looks back to look ahead by reflecting on the number of submissions, the journal's scope in terms of international coverage, methods, and topics, and its impact over the last five years. The editorial closes with an outlook for the next five years and discusses the uniqueness of MRQ as an evidence-focused review journal.

“…Meta-analytic structural equation modelling (MASEM) is a powerful mechanism for synthesising prior research findings, reconciling inconsistent conclusions, and resolving variable relationships (Cheung, 2014;Jeyaraj & Dwivedi, 2020;Viswesvaran & One, 1995). The advantage of using the MASEM is that it can test models that involve variables not included in the primary studies (Bergh et al, 2016;Steinmetz & Block, 2022). This approach combines the strengths of meta-analysis, which quantitatively summarises the results of individual studies and structural equation modelling.…”

Examining Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 through Meta-analytic Structural Equation Modelling

Like its predecessor, the Unified Theory of Technology and Use of Technology (UTAUT), UTAUT2 has been adopted, adapted and used in extended forms due to its simplicity, parsimony and robustness. This study synthesised 39 empirical studies based on the UTAUT2 model in educational contexts, using the One-stage Meta-Analysis and Structural Equation Modelling (OSMASEM). Although the findings in this study aligned with the initial findings by Ventakesh et al. ( 2012), the model did not perform well compared to those in the initial UTAUT2 study in the explained variance in both behavioural intention and use behaviour. When new relationships were introduced into the UTAUT2 model in this study, constructs like performance expectancy, hedonic motivation, social influence, and price value were new predictors of use behaviour. The meta-analytic structural equation modelling approach used in this study, OSMASEM, allows researchers to use past empirical study data to examine the UTAUT2 framework without replicating similar studies. Using OSMASEM, researchers could easily add past empirical data to train the UTAUT2 model to study the trends in technology acceptance and use in educational contexts.
