20.500.12556/RUL-119653 Efficaciously smuggling ideas untangling the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy, creative bootlegging and embedded lead users The phenomenon of Embedded Lead Userness has gained considerable attention in the past years. The present study examines the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and embedded lead userness when mediated by creative bootlegging. After analysing the data collected from 554 employees in 41 Italian and Croatian firms, our study unveils that entrepreneurial self-efficacy exerts a positive impact on embedded lead userness when mediated by creative bootlegging. Consistent with research on identity work, these results suggest that employees who show self-motivation and conviction in entrepreneurial activities tend to commit to unofficial innovation projects, which in turn, makes them act as lead users of the products and services. The study’s contributions and practical implications are also discussed. enterprises innovations knowledge transfer podjetje inovacije prenos znanja true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2020-09-10 09:43:03 2020-09-10 09:50:33 2023-03-17 13:21:28 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 [in press] 2020 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2021-08-22 005.3 1363-9196 10.1142/S1363919621500328 26196739 1656341 RAZ_Ghasemzadeh_Khatereh_2020.pdf RAZ_Ghasemzadeh_Khatereh_2020.pdf 1 684385867407B0C346D1F48717B1EC16 c5ea2f8a00fbe83a0e2008b21f5b4b255dd8025fc91c52675ea98e90914e8658 e2bbfec2-a1b9-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=134379 https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/abs/10.1142/S1363919621500328 0 11a10ab6-a7fe-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=142561 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
