<p>This study aims to examine how ambidextrous leadership (AL) influences product innovativeness (PI) by exploring the mediating role of knowledge-based dynamic capabilities (KBDCs) and the moderating role of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) within firms. A quantitative research design was employed. Survey data were collected from 405 respondents representing 76 artificial intelligence (AI) firms located in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region of China. The data were analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) with AMOS 26. The results indicated that AL was significantly associated with both KBDCs and PI. Moreover, KBDCs mediated the positive association between AL and PI. In addition, EO positively moderated the relationships between AL and PI, as well as between KBDCs and PI. These findings suggest that ambidextrous leadership enhances product innovativeness by strengthening firms’ knowledge-based dynamic capabilities, particularly under conditions of high entrepreneurial orientation.

摘要

This study aims to examine how ambidextrous leadership (AL) influences product innovativeness (PI) by exploring the mediating role of knowledge-based dynamic capabilities (KBDCs) and the moderating role of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) within firms. A quantitative research design was employed. Survey data were collected from 405 respondents representing 76 artificial intelligence (AI) firms located in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region of China. The data were analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) with AMOS 26. The results indicated that AL was significantly associated with both KBDCs and PI. Moreover, KBDCs mediated the positive association between AL and PI. In addition, EO positively moderated the relationships between AL and PI, as well as between KBDCs and PI. These findings suggest that ambidextrous leadership enhances product innovativeness by strengthening firms’ knowledge-based dynamic capabilities, particularly under conditions of high entrepreneurial orientation. This study contributes to the literature by clarifying the mechanism through which ambidextrous leadership affects product innovativeness and by extending leadership and innovation research to the context of AI firms.
