Developmental Performance Appraisal and Technological SMEs' Open Innovation: A Moderated Mediating Effect Model

Abstract

Abstract: In order to explore the influence of developmental performance appraisal on open innovation and its mechanism, a mediating effect model is established and an empirical test is carried out through questionnaire survey data from 472 technological SMEs. It is found that developmental performance appraisal can promote the open innovation performance of technological SMEs. Team potency partially mediates the relationship between them. At the same time, dynamic environment can adjust the relationship between team potency and open innovation. When the environment is highly dynamic, that is, when the market turbulence is higher, the technology turbulence is stronger or the market competition is fiercer, the role of the team potency to open innovation will weaken to varying degrees.

Key words: developmental performance appraisal, open innovation, team potency, dynamic environment, technological SMEs
