“…The Zhong-yong thinking scale used in our study was developed by Wu and Lin (2005) [33], which includes a 13-item scale comprising three dimensions of multiple thinking, integration, and harmoniousness. The scale has been widely cited in later literature, such as Lang et al (2022), Chen et al (2021), and Zhou and Yang (2020) [22,37,66]. The alpha reliability value of the scale was 0.895 in our study.…”

“…Although Western theories such as dialectical thinking, rationality, and wisdom share similar concepts [21], the Middle Way represents a unique set of Chinese concepts encompassing various aspects of the self, interpersonal relationships, and dealing with matters. Recent literature has increasingly focused on the impact of Zhong-yong thinking on innovation [22][23][24]; however, exploring the effect of business leaders' Zhong-yong thinking on corporate green innovation remains limited. In traditional Chinese culture, Zhong-yong thinking emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature, humans and the environment, and strives for balance and unity between human development and ecology, consistent with the essence of corporate green innovation.…”

“…Indigenous psychological research has propelled the study of Zhong-yong thinking beyond the realm of philosophical concepts and into the realm of more quantifiable empirical studies [27]. Given the increasing importance of innovation in economic development, more and more companies have begun to investigate the influence of Zhong-yong on innovation [22,23]. While scholars have explored the impact of middle management on innovation behavior, research on the influence of Zhong-yong on green innovation is still limited.…”

Zhong-yong thinking, a typical value orientation and mode of thought in traditional Chinese culture, has garnered significant scholarly attention. Various cross-sectional studies have explored the relationship between Zhong-yong thinking and innovation; yet, research specifically examining the impact of Zhong-yong thinking on green innovation is scarce. This study adopts the upper echelons theory and theory of manager cognition to investigate the influence of entrepreneurs’ Zhong-yong thinking on green innovation while simultaneously considering institutional pressure and enterprise ownership types as boundary conditions. By analyzing 302 questionnaire responses, the empirical results demonstrate a direct positive effect of Zhong-yong thinking on green innovation. Moreover, institutional pressure positively moderates the relationship between Zhong-yong thinking and green innovation. State-owned enterprises exhibit a more significant impact of Zhong-yong thinking on green innovation than non-SOEs. Overall, this study contributes to the theoretical research of Zhong-yong in management disciplines, particularly in the green innovation literature. Its findings also hold implications for the practice of green innovation in enterprises.

“…In other words, it is an asset that improves a company's competitiveness. Perceived quality is a function of many factors, including corporate perspectives such as brand name recognition (Germann et al, 2020), brand image (Kim et al, 2015), brand promise (Lang et al, 2022), employer branding (Botella‐Carrubi et al, 2021), trust (Chen et al, 2020), and reputation (Gatti et al, 2012), as well as product perspectives such as product quality (Sebastianelli et al, 2015), region of origin (Dekhili & d'Hauteville, 2009; Han, 2020; Krystallis et al, 2007), sustainability (Harju, 2022), package size (Yan et al, 2014), price (Gotlieb & Sarel, 1991), and discounts and coupons (Kim et al, 2008).…”

Color, material, and finish (CMF) are essential to the competitiveness of industrial products. However, in the existing research on CMF from the consumer behavior perspective, there is an insufficient focus on finish, compared with that on color and material. Research on finish is limited to technical methods, and there is a lack of discussion about its impact on consumer purchasing behavior. This study examines the effect of cars' exterior design finish on purchase intention in Japan. The research question is, "does changing the quality of the finish by removing cut lines have a positive effect on purchase intention?" Two sets of images were used: normal images of car exteriors and images of car exteriors improved by removing cut lines. An online survey was conducted to explore the impact of a car's finish on consumers' purchase intentions in the Japanese market. The randomized controlled trial results showed that finish had a significant positive effect on purchase intention. This study analyzes the interaction of finish with consumer characteristics. A multiple regression model with interactions revealed that, among consumers who emphasize design, a higher finish quality prompted a greater positive influence on purchase intention. In design research, styling tends to attract significant attention. However, practitioners should not neglect efforts to improve finishing when manufacturing products. Companies that consider it impossible to convey to consumers the quality of products with delicate finishing need to change their mindset. These suggestions apply not only to the automotive industry but also to other durable consumer goods industries.

“…This can enhance the visibility of a company and even trigger exponential growth in organisational performance (Mao et al ., 2021). Consequently, we direct our attention to employee radical creativity, recognising that innovative products or services fundamentally rely on novel knowledge and represent substantial leaps in performance, thereby fostering sustained long-term competitiveness for enterprises (Gilson and Madjar, 2011; Lang et al ., 2022).…”

PurposeThis study aims to investigates the influence of proactive personality on employee radical creativity through transformational leadership, professional ethical standards and creative self-efficacy.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected from 343 superior–subordinate dyads in China. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to measure the validity of the variables. A regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between model assumptions.FindingsThe results showed that: (1) Proactive personality was positively related to employee radical creativity. (2) Transformational leadership and professional ethical standards moderated the relationship between proactive personality and radical creativity. Specifically, the relationship between proactive personality and employee radical creativity was strong, as expected. It was the strongest in the presence of high transformational leadership and high professional ethical standards. (3) Creative self-efficacy acted as a mediator in this interaction.Originality/valueThis study is a pioneering investigation in the Chinese context. It empirically examines the interactive relationship between proactive personality and radical creativity through transformational leadership and professional ethical standards. Additionally, it substantiates creative self-efficacy as the psychological mechanism behind this interaction. Consequently, this study offers a comprehensive framework with potential implications for personality assessments in the workplace, leadership training, criteria formulation and enhancement of radical creativity.
