Modelling the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, organizational integration, and programme performance in local sustainability
基于美国地方政府调查数据，用结构方程模型分析创业导向如何通过知识共享、跨组织协作和绩效信息使用间接提升节能项目绩效。
Empirical analyses testing the impacts of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) remain lacking in public sector research despite strong normative expectations for public managers to foster a culture of innovativeness, risk-taking, proactiveness, and accountability in their organizations. Drawing data from a nationwide survey of the US local governments, this research uses structural equation modelling to examine relationships between EO, organizational integration processes, and performance in the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) programme. The study finds that EO positively influences programme performance, but does so indirectly by enhancing knowledge sharing, interorganizational collaboration, and performance information use. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
