Background. Driven by the Silk Road Economic Belt idea, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region can fully play its regional advantages and innovate the open economic system. It can transform and upgrade industrial structures with strong regional characteristics and advantages in Shihezi. Objective. The purpose is to explore the impact of knowledge-based employee incentive mechanism (EIM) on innovation performance. It is hoped to innovate the knowledge-based worker (KBW) management in Shihezi enterprises. Methods. Based on the psychological theory, the actual production, and living conditions in Shihezi, a questionnaire survey is conducted on the KBWs of typical enterprises in Shihezi. The questionnaire is designed by considering the characteristics of KBWs in Shihezi City under the Development Strategy of Western Chinese Cities. In addition, relevant structural equation models and hypotheses are proposed to comprehensively explain the relationship between psychological capital (PsyCap), EIM, and employee innovation performance (EIP). Results. Among the KBWs of Shihezi enterprises surveyed, the proportion of male and female employees is basically balanced, and both groups have bachelor’s degrees or above. They are mostly young, with a relatively short working year. Most employees are in the rising stage of career development. The overall scores of KBWs on the PsyCap, EWM, and EIP scales are all above 3.5, a high overall score. Model analysis and hypothesis verification show that Shihezi knowledge-based EIM significantly affects EIP and PsyCap. The PsyCap has a positive impact on EIP. The KBWs’ PsyCap plays an intermediary role in EIP. Conclusion. The research results provide an objective reference for Shihezi enterprises to improve the innovation performance of KBWs. It enriches the theoretical research of Shihezi enterprise innovation and provides a theoretical basis to improve collaborative innovation performance.

“…Empirical evidence shows that if the exchanges between inventors and other inventors in a company form a small-world network, this can greatly enhance the innovation ability of inventors and company cohesion (Lengyel & Eriksson, 2017). Most of the research on relationships and innovation discusses the relationships between people in an enterprise, such as the relationships between leaders and employees and the innovation atmosphere among employees (Christiansen et al, 2014;Ge & Sun, 2020). Existing research does not correlate relationship strength with the network structure of a regional innovation system, and it fails to explain how the elements of a regional innovation system change when the strength of intersubject relationships changes in the system and thus affects the entire system.…”

A small-world simulation model of a regional innovation system combining the strength of the intersubject relationship of the regional innovation system with the loosely coupled system is constructed. We use a simulation to observe knowledge flow within the regional innovation system under relationships of varying strength. The results show that when the relationship between the subjects of the regional innovation system reaches a certain strength, the system will exhibit high module independence and high network integrity, forming a loosely coupled system. The knowledge flow in the system exhibits the emergence of a fast flow rate, a high mean value and little variance. When relationship strength is at other levels, the emergence of knowledge cannot be identified.

“…Another theoretical implication of the current study is that it is one of the pioneering studies that attempt to link the concept of work engagement to explain PEB-E. The phenomenon of work engagement as a mediator has received significant attention from various scholars to explain employees' extra-role behavior, for example, employee creativity [103,106] and employee innovation capability [107,108]. Employees' pro-environmental behavior is also an extra-role, but surprisingly, contemporary researchers did not explore the effect of work engagement on pro-environmental behavior.…”

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has emerged as an imperative for every sector globally. Yet, for a long time, the concept of CSR has been regarded from an organizational perspective. However, the importance of CSR in shaping the extra-role behavior of employees, such as their pro-environmental behavior (PEB-E), has been under-explored in the literature. Against this backdrop, the current study aims to investigate the impact of CSR on PEB-E with the mediating effect of work engagement (W.E) in the context of a emerging country. The study also employs stewardship theory as an alternate theory to explain the proposed relationships. The data of the current study were obtained from SME sector through a self-administered (paper-and-pencil method) questionnaire. A random sample of employees (n = 398) from different SMEs was selected and analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results of the current survey revealed that CSR directly and indirectly, via W.E, predicts PEB-E positively. The findings of the current study will be helpful for policymakers to understand that well-planned CSR activities, not only create positive repute for an SME, but also provide the underlying justification to its employees to be engaged in different environment-specific behaviors.
