“…As of today, firms to stay competitive are always ready to take risks and maintain their competitive edge. Amongst various factors, the Individual Innovative Behaviour (IIB) is an essential component that not only helps a firm to adapt to environmental changes but also to maintain its market competitiveness (Parahoo et al, 2017). Existing literature also shows concern with employee innovation and according to some studies, the Psychological Capital (PC) of employees is positively linked with employees' innovative behavior (Liu et al, 2020;Tsegaye et al, 2020).…”

This study aims to examine the effect of thriving at work and psychological capital on individual innovative behavior, precisely centering on the mediating role of employee engagement within the telecommunication services and wireless communication business environment. The 300 front-level employees of the telecom firms are being targeted for the study sample from four telecom and wireless communication firms using a non-probability snowball sampling technique. Questionnaires were used to collect the data, and the data was then analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The validity, including convergent and discriminant, was then measured through individual and nested Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Path analysis via SEM was employed to test the hypotheses. The findings demonstrated that thriving at work and psychological capital have a positive impact on individual innovative behavior. Results showed that employee engagement acts as a mediator in transmitting the effects of thriving at work and psychological capital on innovative individual behavior. Psychological capital appears to be an essential resource for organizations. Once individuals start performing their duties, managers are advised to improve their psychological capital in a supportive manner. This can be done by motivating and encouraging them to trigger a higher level of engagement which ultimately affects individual innovative behaviour of employees.

PurposeThis purpose of this study was to examine the impact of social and organisational capital on service innovation capability among service firms in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachTo test the proposed research model, data were collected using a cross-sectional questionnaire. The study sample consisted of 188 private and public service sector managers in the UAE. Partial least square-based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to examine the research model's validity and reliability and to test the research hypothesis.FindingsThe empirical evidence indicates that during this pandemic the relationship between social capital and service innovation capability was fully mediated by strategic environmental scanning, while partially mediating the relationship between organisational capital and service innovation capability.Practical implicationsManagers in service organisations must be proactive during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, they should emphasise effective environmental scanning and the tracking of customer preferences to provide customised services that are valued and meet the emerging requirements of their customers. Prioritising investment in organisational capital to enhance innovation capacity is also recommended.Originality/valueThis study is the first to examine strategic environmental scanning as a mediator between social and organisational capital and service innovation capacity during a pandemic. There were significant differences between the findings of our study and previous studies: the authors found that, during crises, management priorities change, and businesses become more reliant on organisational capital to develop service innovation capability.
