摘要

Innovation is critical for enhancing business products and processes, leading to improved overall performance for firms. Knowledge sharing (KS) plays a crucial role in fostering innovation within firms. Literature has addressed entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and innovation performance (IP) in firms; however, extant literature has not considered the influence of EO on IP in emerging economies. Thus, based on the EO theory, this paper develops a theoretical framework to investigate the influence of EO antecedents on IP within the mediating role of KS. Data were collected from three national telecom companies in Jordan, and 215 responses were analyzed using partial least squares–structural equation modeling (PLS–SEM). The findings indicate that the key components of EO—namely, innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking—positively influence both IP and KS in Jordan's telecom companies. Moreover, KS not only has a direct positive effect on IP but also serves as a mediator in the relationship between EO and IP. These insights suggest that innovation is crucial in the product design and service development process. In addition, it is crucial to share knowledge across business units to maintain efficient business processes and design innovative products and services. Moreover, this study offers important theoretical and practical implications for enhancing IP in firms.
