The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of motivation on organization performance in Jordan Industrial Estate Company (JIEC) in Jordan, the mediating role of eco-innovation. Resource Based View theory (RBV) highlighted the role of Motivation in achieving the high organization performance. A quantitative approach and simple random sampling were used to obtain data via questionnaire from 381 employees from different level of JIEC, the response rate was 74.8%. SEM was employed to analyses the study variables. The results shows that the direct effect of motivation and eco-innovation on organization performance are significant at a p-value 0.050 and 0.000 for motivation and eco-innovation respectively and eco-innovation mediates the relationship between motivation and organization performance, with a partial mediating effect. This paper contribute to theory by filling the gap of eco-innovation literature in developing countries, validate eco-innovation as a mediator variable between motivation and organization performance. This study recommended for further studies about eco-innovation in developing countries particularly in Jordan, and repeat the same study to ensure the validate the study model.

“…The acquisition activity of the Titanium Group both in the UK and internationally appears to rely heavily on the financing and international trade expertise of the Senior Management Team. This finding thus confirms the importance of outside directors with long board membership, external directorships with other firms and prior cross border acquisition experience as having a positive influence on shareholder value in a study of cross border acquisitions(Basuil and Datta 2017). Therefore, the findings of this shared human capital at the Board level through to the subsidiary level activity, showed the role of external directors in promoting international corporate entrepreneurial outcomes.…”

“…However such studies again tend to focus on the entrepreneur or international new venture rather than the MNE. In addition, beyond directors with long Board membership, external directorships with other firms and prior cross border acquisition experience were found to have a positive influence on shareholder value in a study of cross border acquisitions (Basuil and Datta 2017). For the sMNE, the human capital of external directors may have different role to play of that of the larger MNE, in advising and guiding the international corporate entrepreneurial outcomes of the organisation.…”

“…This thesis highlights the power of human capital of specific actors to locate and capitalise on relevant networks at both a headquarter and subsidiary level, suggesting multiple layers of network capital exist in the sMNE. Although previous scholars have identified the influence of external Board members on international trade and investment activity (Basuil and Datta, 2017), little has been explored on the role of susbidiary level executives (Birkinshaw et al, 2005).…”

International entrepreneurial capabilities: The role of networks in the small multinational enterprise

Interest in entrepreneurial internationalisation, i.e. the pursuit of business opportunities across national borders through the orientation of individuals and firms towards innovativeness, risk-taking, proactiveness, autonomy and competitive aggressiveness, has increased over the past two decades. Interest in these types of behaviours has suggested that the internationalisation of firms is no longer a slow, incremental, undertaking. Thus, the field of International Entrepreneurship has broadened insights into these activities by examining firms that engage in international activities from inception, or International New Ventures (INV). This thesis aims to broaden the field of international entrepreneurship by considering these activities outside of the INV. While there is much work on the internationalisation activities of multinational enterprises (MNEs), little consideration has been given to the entrepreneurial activities of those running the firms as to how their internationalisation may occur. Drawing on parallels from the corporate entrepreneurship literature, which essentially divorces the act of entrepreneurship from the act of starting a new venture, this thesis addresses this gap. It explores how the small MNE (sMNE), with between two and five international subsidiaries, utilises international entrepreneurial capabilities and networks to drive renewal in the organisation, in order to identify opportunities, develop-international markets, acquire overseas subsidiaries, and create new products and services.

This study investigates the dynamic nexus between board characteristics, sustainability initiatives, and corporate strategies, offering critical insights into their collective impact on international performance. Utilizing a structural equation model and data from Colombian SMEs, our research underscores the influential role of diverse board attributes, encompassing social and human capital, in shaping managerial practices and decision‐making processes, ultimately influencing the outcomes of internationalization endeavors. The study emphasizes the significance of internally and externally well‐connected boards in facilitating effective internationalization efforts, affirming previous research highlighting the positive influence of board social capital on international performance. Furthermore, it reveals that board human capital, particularly directors with expertise in international business, substantially contributes to informed global strategy, empowering managers to craft robust internationalization approaches. The study's pivotal finding lies in the interactive impact of organizational Sustainability, advocating for a corporate strategy centered on Sustainability, which fosters a competitive advantage and advances international performance.
