Item type:Publication, Revisiting poverty and entrepreneurship in developing countries(World Scientific Pub Co Pte Ltd, 2021-06); Ruiz Linda ElizabethCurrently, the economic effect of entrepreneurship research has been highly associated with opportunity entrepreneurship, while necessity entrepreneurship has a lower effect. This manuscript revisits the relationship between poverty and entrepreneurial activity, mainly necessity-driven, analyzed by Amorós and Cristi (2011). We hypothesize that countries with a high pursuit of entrepreneurial activities reduce poverty, even if necessity-motivated entrepreneurship is developed. We test our hypothesis using Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data and the UN-UNDP, Human Development Index from 2010–2019. Our results reconfirm that total and necessity-motivated early-stage entrepreneurship both, have a positive effect on countries’ poverty reduction trends, especially in developing countries. We discuss the relevance of entrepreneurship activities on development beyond pure economic effects and highlight the importance of entrepreneurship in the pandemic situation caused by COVID-19, which is pushing more people into poverty situations. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Mexican SMEs conscious leadership and conscious culture: the mediating effect of higher purpose(Emerald, 2026-06-24); Rodríguez-Aldana, Marcia LorenaPurpose This study examines the direct effect of conscious leadership on organizational culture in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and tests whether higher purpose mediates this relationship, thereby advancing understanding of the micro-to-meso translation processes within conscious capitalism. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional survey of 115 Mexican SMEs was conducted. Data from senior executives were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS SEM). Mediation was tested via bootstrapping with 5,000 resamples, and robustness checks addressed common method bias and predictive validity. Findings Conscious leadership has a strong direct effect on conscious culture (β = 0.512, p < 0.001). Higher purpose partially mediates this relationship (indirect effect β = 0.198, p = 0.007), revealing complementary behavioral and sensegiving pathways that together explain 55.1% of the variance in conscious culture. Practical implications SME leaders can embed higher purpose through purpose-based decision checklists, purpose-linked KPIs and stakeholder scorecards tracking safety, decent work and customer trust. Leadership development should train owner-managers as meaning makers skilled in sensegiving. At the policy level, existing SME training programs and public financing schemes could incorporate purpose-articulation modules at low cost, embedding ethical reflection into established support mechanisms without significant additional burdens. Originality/value Despite growing attention to conscious leadership and purpose, empirical research on how leaders shape culture in SMEs remains scarce – particularly in emerging economies such as Mexico, where strong founder imprinting and weaker formal institutionalization make leadership influence especially salient and observable. By theorizing and empirically testing higher purpose as a sensegiving mechanism, this study moves conscious capitalism toward greater explanatory rigor, offering a dual-pathway framework for cultivating ethical cultures through leadership enactment and purposeful institutionalization. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, What drives teams? A closer look on how strategic leadership promotes psychological safety in teamsPurpose Psychological safety (PS) is crucial for organizations to increase adaptability and respond to dynamic markets, innovative behavior, and sustainability practices and processes, through team performance and learning. Specifically, for team-based work structures, understanding shared behaviors such as strategic leadership (SL) is essential, as they have a high potential for creating PS. This study aims to examine the impact of specific transformational (TL) and transactional (TS) behaviors on team PS and expand research in the context of companies immersed in a highly uncertain environment. Design/methodology/approach This research analyzed relational data in three Mexican companies using Social Network Analysis to explore shared behaviors within working teams. Findings The results reveal that the impact of SL on PS might vary across teams based on their characteristics (i.e. size and age). Mature companies with well-established processes and teams benefited more from TL behaviors such as articulating a vision, role modeling and fostering group goal acceptance. Conversely, TS consistently influenced PS in all the companies, with a stronger effect on the smallest, youngest and project-based one. Research limitations/implications This study responds to calls for further research on PS as a group-level property. Moreover, by focusing on leadership behaviors rather than perceptions, this work advances the understanding of team member’s interactions from a social perspective. Finally, it emphasizes the multidimensionality of SL and extends the concept of shared leadership in team contexts. Originality/value This research shifts from an individual, top-down approach to a collective, team-based perspective, highlighting the role of SL in fostering PS. Thus, it provides valuable insights into the unique leadership and team management practices required in an emerging economy. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Enabling knowledge sharing through psychological safety in inter-organisational arrangementsPurpose This study aims to generate additional insights into the relationship between knowledge sharing (KS) and psychological safety (PS) in an inter-organisational arrangement through the lens of the knowledge-based view and PS theory. Design/methodology/approach A relational data survey was designed to collect systematic information from key actors in two manufacturing organisations. The questionnaire assessed KS as the dependent variable and four independent variables – three behavioural (respect, tolerance, trust) and one contextual (suitable working environment) – as proxies of PS. The multiple regression quadratic assignment procedure was used to analyse the effect of PS on KS. Findings This paper strengthens the findings of previous studies that identify PS as a relevant antecedent of KS in organisations. Additionally, the paper also suggests that a relational approach is more relevant to understand PS as a group concept measured through networks of respect, tolerance, trust and suitable working environments. Practical implications This study may help managers identify ways in which they can strengthen the work-related relationships when such behavioural and contextual variables occur in inter-organisational arrangements, and thus obtaining additional relational rents based on an increase in KS. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature on how KS in organisations is driven by behavioural and contextual variables that can be operationalised as PS. Moreover, this study expands the understanding of previous research on PS by taking a relational approach to its conceptualisation and measurement within a Latin American context. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
