ABSTRACT

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) make a significant contribution to economic growth in korea. The purpose of this study is to examine an effects of self-sacrificial leadership and information technology on innovative behavior through technological innovation in SMEs. Self-sacrificial leadership and information technology are the two core factors in SMEs. Hence, we examined how they might influence technological innovation of exploitation and exploration. Moreover, we investigated how exploitation and exploration in technological innovation might be related to innovative behavior. A total of 252 completed questionnaires were collected from employees in SMEs, and a financial incentive was provided to participants. To test the hypotheses our research model was analyzed with the Partial Least Square method. The results reveal that all paths are statistically significant except H1 (job assignment → technological innovation of exploration ) and H4 (allocation of reward → technological innovation of exploitation). Self-sacrificial leadership by job assignment positively influenced technological innovation of exploitation, and self-sacrificial leadership by allocation of reward positively influenced technological innovation of exploration in SMEs. In addition utilization ability and infrastructure of information technology have positive effects on technological innovation of exploitation and exploration. Technological innovation of exploitation and exploration positively influenced innovative behavior. We confirmed the importance of self-sacrificial leadership, information technology, and technological innovation in SMEs.
