This study is focused on assessing the effects of burnout as a moderator of the relationship between employees’ quality of work life (QWL) and their perceptions of their contribution to the organization’s productivity by integrating the QWL factors into the trichotomy of (de)motivators of productivity in the workplace. The empirical findings resulting from an OLS multiple regression, with interaction terms, applied to a survey administered at 514 employees in 6 European countries, point out two important insights: (i) QWL hygiene factors (e.g., safe work environment and occupational healthcare) positively and significantly influence the contribution to productivity; and (ii) burnout de-motivator factors (that is, low effectiveness, cynicism, and emotional exhaustion) significantly moderate the relationship between QWL and the contribution to productivity. Combining burnout with other QWL components, such as occupational health, safe work, and appropriate salary, new insights are provided concerning the restricting (i.e., low effectiveness and cynicism) and catalyzing (emotional exhaustion) burnout components of contribution to productivity. These findings are particularly relevant given the increased weight of burnout, mental disorders and absenteeism in the labor market, affecting individuals’ quality of life and organizations’ performance and costs.

Values guide actions and judgements, form the basis of attitudinal and behavioral processes, and have an impact on leaders’ decision-making, contributing to more sustainable performance. Through a bibliometric study and content analysis, 2038 articles were selected from Scopus, from the period 1994–2021, presenting global research tendencies on the subject of values, public administration, and sustainability. The results indicate that Sustainability is the most productive journal, the main research category is in social sciences, the most productive institution is the University of Queensland, the location with the most publications and research collaborations is the USA, and the authors with the greatest number of articles are Chung, from Chung-Ang University; García-Sánchez, from the University of Salamanca; and Pérez, from the University of Cantabria. Analysis of keywords shows that the most relevant are “sustainability”, “CSR”, “sustainable development”, “innovation”, and “leadership”. Time analysis of keywords reveals a tendency for lines of research in the social and work area. The results also provide data about the framing of studies in sustainability pillars and the types of values referred to and indicate the main areas of public administration studied. Finally, a future research agenda is proposed.

Generating innovation with environmental impact is crucial for firms to achieve sustainable eco-innovative performance. In the reference literature on open innovation, gaps still persist at the level of scarce and limited knowledge on the use of knowledge sources and flows, for the purpose of strengthening the eco-innovative performance of the bioeconomy sector. To address these caveats, this study analyses the effects of open innovation on eco-innovation, based on inbound and outbound support practices. Specifically, it aims to analyse the effects of these practices on the eco-innovative performance of bioeconomy and non-bioeconomy firms, using secondary data gathered from the Community Innovation Survey—CIS 2010 for a sample of moderately innovative countries, namely Slovakia, Spain, Hungary, Italy, Portugal and the Czech Republic. The conceptual model proposed is tested using multivariate tobit regression models, in order to ensure the accuracy and reliability required to validate empirical tests. Overall, the empirical evidence allows the conclusion that inbound and outbound practices and public policies have a positive and significant influence on the eco-innovative performance of the firms studied. The contribution provided is two-fold: (i) in theoretical terms, an operational model of open innovation inbound and outbound practices is extended, crossing financial flows and innovation directions; and (ii) in empirical terms, new light is shed on the still limited knowledge about the positive and significant effects of open innovation outbound practices on the eco-innovative performance of companies belonging to a global strategic sector—that is, the bioeconomy sector, which has renewed strategic importance in the face of global climate change.

This chapter introduces the positioning of the need to advance and gather new contributions that give an effective extension to the so-called Behavioural Theory of the Firm, which requires the incorporation of new analysis lenses that value the economic irrationality associated with management with emotions, values and family principles of the company. The company’s assets are not only a sum of tangible and intangible values, as they result from the history, work, competences, innovations relationships, unions and disunities of people, as a dynamic support of the evolutionary human capital of organizations.

High-growth firms are of particular interest for academics and policymakers due to their serious contributions to the economy, job market, and knowledge creation. Previous studies have majorly focused on firm growth rates, their persistence over time, and their determinants. Nevertheless, open research windows still remain in predicting what sort of companies will grow or even survive and in understanding the inconsistency of high-growth levels. The complexity of the relationship macroeconomic environment, high-growth regimes and firm capabilities deserves further research efforts. Here we will focus on the microeconomic determinants of startups’ survival, namely, the founder’s attributes and the firm’ characteristics and capabilities, and their relation with business survival, contrasting gazelle and non-gazelle startups. To address this, we use a Cox proportional hazard model, for a sample of 4919 firms, collected from the Kauffman Foundation Survey. Results reveal that the main entrepreneur and entrepreneurial-level determinants of firm survival are the founders’ college education, IP activity, firms’ small- and medium-size, and the gazelle condition impact on the firms’ chances of survival. Taken these all together and including the moderating effect of startup capitalization, results point to the fact that owners’ work experience and the small- and medium-sized companies as well as the companies’ R&D activities moderated by capitalization access increases the chances of firm survival. Crisis spurs firms’ exit, nonetheless startups pursuing a competitive advantage strategy and the moderating effect of startup capital on their internal R&D activities increase the chances of survival.

This is a pioneering study on the relationship between quality of work life and the employee's perception of their contribution to organizational performance. It unveils the importance of subjective and behavioral components of quality of work life and their influence on the formation of the collaborator's individual desire to contribute to strengthening the organization's productivity. The results obtained indicate that for workers: feeling their supervisors' support through listening to their concerns and by sensing they take them on board; being integrated in a good work environment; and feeling respected both as professionals and as people; positively influence their feeling of contributing to organizational performance. The results are particularly relevant given the increased weight of services in the labor market, together with intensified automation and digitalization of collaborators' functions. The findings also contribute to the ongoing debate about the need for more work on the subjective and behavioral components of so-called smart and learning organizations, rather than focusing exclusively on remuneration as the factor stimulating organizational productivity based on the collaborator's contribution.

Previous studies on coopetition considered the concept as a mix of cooperation and competition among firms, oriented towards producing innovation and generating net value added or economic benefit. The importance of studying the determinants of firms’ innovative behaviour in order to produce an insightful analysis of their patent intensity behaviour based on those coopetition relationships has also warranted increasing attention by several entrepreneurship scholars. This paper tackles the issue in an innovative way, by making use of firms’ behaviour in generating co-innovative products and services to reveal their innovative performance and the dynamics of coopetition targeted at open innovation. Thus, we analyse the determinant factors of firms; capacity to generate co-innovations, which is influenced by the role played by policies oriented to driving innovations among firms, cooperation with scientific stakeholders and development of the capacity to generate and transfer new products. For this purpose, we use a dataset of 3682 manufacturing firms and 1221 service firms that participated in the European Community Innovation Survey (CIS), 2008. A probit analysis is conducted separately for manufacturing and service firms and, within each sector, according to firms’ category of technological intensity. The results reveal the significant influence of manufacturing and service firms’ capacity to generate co-innovative products and services, such as coopetition arrangements between competing firms and other R&D stakeholders, and also firms’ capacity to introduce innovations to the market. Furthermore, this study also reveals that for service firms the effects of introducing process innovations inside the firm and the existence of internal R&D activities are of major significance for creating a capacity to generate co-innovations.

The new paradigm for public administration is founded on different meanings for distinct dimensions of open innovative governance. Thus, “open” may mean: open governance; open data; open information; and open innovation; which stand for new types of open relationships between citizens, firms and municipalities. In the context of citizens’ rights, open innovative governance is approached as the right to participate in the innovation process of agenda-setting and decision-making. The chapter discusses the effects of open innovative governance and municipalities’ transparency on citizens’ quality of life. To do so, we test different specifications of probit models, by taking as a reference a population of 308 Portuguese municipalities and using the data collected through the Local Authority site, integrated in the Local Government Integrity for Portugal initiative, in the period 2013–2014. To assess the effects on quality of life, a proxy for citizens’ well-being is considered, taking into account the positive variation of the citizens’ purchasing power index. The main results reveal a positive and significant influence of open innovative governance on citizens’ quality of life, regarding two dimensions: Plans and planning; and Taxes, fees, prices and regulations. Moreover, a positive and significant association between higher education institutions and citizens’ quality of life is revealed, although this could be counterbalanced by the negative effects associated with the condition of being a low density municipality and variation in purchasing power.

This paper focuses on the effects of absorptive capacity and coopetition on the generation of product innovation, by making use of a sample of manufacturing firms, both high-tech and medium-low-tech, from Italy and Portugal. For this purpose, we use two datasets of 4,912 Italian manufacturing firms and 3,660 Portuguese manufacturing firms that participated in the European Community Innovation Survey (CIS) 2010. A logit analysis is conducted for high-tech firms and medium-low-tech firms and the results reveal that for both types of firms, the absorptive capacity enablers of Italian manufacturing firms, such as internal R&D, external R&D and employee expertise have a positive and significant effect on the generation of product innovation. In addition, the establishment of coopetition relationships with Italian competitors denotes a positive and significant effect on the generation of product innovation. For the Portuguese manufacturing firms, both high-tech and medium-low-tech, we find that the absorptive capacity enablers mentioned above have a positive and significant effect on the generation of product innovation. In addition, the formation of coopetition relationships with Portuguese competitors also presents a positive and significant effect on the generation of product innovation.

The present paper estimates the effects of US start-ups' R&D and licensing strategies on their growth, based on R&D intensity, start-ups' patents and in-licensing and out-licensing activities. To do so, we test a sample of 818 firms included in the Kauffman Foundation Survey, from the high-tech and medium high-tech sectors in the period 2004-2010. We reveal a positive and significant effect of R&D intensity and in-licensing on start-ups' growth. These conclusions are also ratified when controlling the activity sector, which has a major effect on sectors such as high-tech manufacturing industries and high-tech knowledge intensive services.

This paper tackles in an innovative way the issue on coopetition, by making use of service firms’ behavior in generating innovative services, to reveal their innovative performance and the dynamics of coopetition targeted at open innovation. For this purpose, we use a dataset of 1,221 service firms that participated in the European Community Innovation Survey (CIS), 2008. A probit analysis is conducted for “knowledge-intensive service (KIS) firms” and “less-KIS firms” and, the results reveal that coopetition arrangements between competing firms and scientific community, and also firms’ capacity to introduce innovations into the market, have a positive and significant influence on service firms’ behavior to generate service innovations. Furthermore, this study also reveals that the effects of introducing process innovations inside the firm and the existence of internal R&D activities are of major significance for influencing positively the innovative behavior of service firms.

This paper assesses the extent through which some patents' attributes are related to its value when considering academic patents. We use cross-section data of two samples, namely, 281 patents from Cambridge University, UK, and 160 patents from Carnegie Mellon University, USA. By estimating a negative binomial regression model, we conclude that size of the patent family influences positively the value of the academic patent. We also find a negative influence played by the time to maturity and geographical scope. When disaggregating the results by spin-off condition, we conclude that for spin-off firms from CMU the effect of geographical scope reveals to be negative and significant. For the spin-off firms of the CAMU, on one hand, a negative and significant effect of time to maturity is verified; on the other hand, the technical field denotes a positive and significant effect on the patent's value.
