Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between technology-distinct capabilities (TDC) and innovative work behavior (IWB) through the mediating effect of strategic flexibility (SF), to examine the behavior toward technopreneurship (BTT) among Omani small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Furthermore, technopreneur self-efficacy (TSE) is investigated as a moderating variable between TDC and SF.Design/methodology/approach: Based on the quantitative research design, the survey questionnaire instrument was used to collect data from SMEs’ owners and managers. Using purposive sampling, the study comprised 285 responses from Muscat, Sohar and Al-Buraimi regions. Responses were analyzed through SPSS 25 and Smart PLS 4 using structural equation modeling (SEM).Findings: The main findings revealed a positive and significant influence of TDC and IWB on SF. In addition, SF mediates the relationship between TDC, IWB and TBB. Results showed no effect of TSE on TDC and SF. The study outlines significant theoretical and practical implications. Dynamic capability (DC) theory provided a framework for understanding the highly competitive Omani business climate. The diffusion of innovation (DOI) provides the way forward to SMEs that how they embrace and induce novel concepts, including SF.Originality/value: The findings of the study can be used by academics and policymakers to develop policies that support SMEs’ technological innovation and adaptability. In the Omani context, policymakers and public managers can utilize this research to evaluate the different technopreneurship support programs and encourage SMEs to adopt digital technology to capitalize on the nation’s entrepreneurial dynamic.

Purpose: The primary objective of this research is to examine the effects of digital transformation capability (DTC) on employee turnover intention (ETI) in Jordanian universities. Based on the social cognitive theory (SCT). The study also investigates the mediated moderation role of knowledge management capability (KMC) and digital leadership (DL) in the relationship between DTC and ETI. Design/methodology/approach: A survey questionnaire was used to obtain data from 384 faculty members at Jordanian universities in Jordan, and the SmartPLS4 and SPSS software were used to test the hypotheses. Findings: The results reveal that DTC significantly mitigates ETI through providing a favourable environment for knowledge sharing and innovation. Using DL as a moderator, the results show that the relationship between DTC and ETI becomes stronger in the presence of high DL. Originality/value: This research uniquely integrates SCT to explore the combined impact of DTC, KMC and DL on faculty turnover intentions at Jordanian universities. It offers novel viewpoints on retaining academic staff by implementing smart digital attempts.

In highly competitive modern businesses, the development and sustainability of organizations depend heavily on innovation and skilled talented human resources. Justice in an organization enhances innovative behavior and the integration of these two components leads to continuous development. This review aims to investigate the development, relationship, and gaps of organizational justice and innovative behavior literature. The review was conducted through metadata analysis, bibliometric analysis, and content analysis for existing literature by adopting Scopus and Web of Science databases. VOSviewer and Wordstat software were used to review prior works from 2010 to August 2023. Metadata analysis indicated that research on organizational justice and innovative behavior is increasingly gaining interest among researchers. The top authors, countries, and research areas in organizational justice and innovative behavior have been identified. The results of the review also emphasized the integrative relationship between organizational justice and innovative behavior in the enhancement of employee engagement and productivity of organizations. The main contribution of the review indicated the limited research on the relationship between organizational justice and innovative behavior. The interaction of and integration of innovation as a viable factor and justice of human resources in organizations need more investigation and clarification by scholars in the future.
