Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The present study deals with the link between open innovation and resilience.It examines the mechanisms by which open innovation generates effects on different resilience forms.Open innovation, through its effect, is studied as a component affecting resilience, especially on an individual level.DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: Data were collected from 250 higher education students using non-probabilistic convenience sampling.Factor analysis, followed by a structural equation modelling analysis with Smart PLS software, made it possible to study the link significance. FINDINGS:Findings confirm that open innovation positively affects individual resilience through its two components, external technology acquisition and external technology exploitation.The results show that gender moderates the link between open innovation and individual resilience, but the age moderating effect is partially verified.
