Drawing from the upper echelon theory, it is hypothesized that employee voice is the mediating mechanism through which transformational leadership affects the process and product innovation in SMEs. Design/methodology/approach Data was collected from 169 SMEs of Pakistan through an online self-administered questionnaire. The proposed hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsFindings confirm that transformational leadership positively affects both process and product innovation in SMEs and employee voice behavior mediates between these relationships.Originality/valueThis research contributes to both theoretical and practical domains by providing evidence that encouraging employees to raise their voice positively impacts product and process innovation and transformational leadership is a potential organizational factor to shape employee voice and process and product innovation. To the best knowledge, this is the first study that investigates the mediating role of employee voice between transformational leadership and process and product innovation in SMEs and developing country’s context. 2021 artículo científico 2515-8961 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=537566869005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5375/537566869005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5375/537566869005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5375/537566869005/537566869005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5375/537566869005/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5375 Innovation & Management Review application/pdf Universidade de São Paulo Innovation & Management Review (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.18 |
