... Although the exact definition of innovation still excites debate, most scholars agree that it is a complex multi-staged process with elements related to generating and implementing new ideas for the organization's benefit. A large body of literature is focused on studying how individual employees come up with new ideas and implement them in such diverse fields as AI (Zirar 2023), social networks (Mannucci and Perry-Smith 2022), and agile innovation (Annosi et al. 2024). Another exciting direction centers around the impact of generational factors on how innovation is approached, especially in an SME context (Janssen 2000;Kanter 1988;Kör et al. 2021;Scott and Bruce 1994). ...

(2019) state that the perspective of multilevel analysis applied to individuals and organizations structured within groups has evolved into the view that tiered models and analysis software offer a highly flexible way to model complex data. Multilevel analysis is used to test the relationships between variables measured at different levels of a tiered data structure (Paruchuri, et al., 2018).. ...

... The theoretical contributions of this study are mainly reflected in the following three aspects: Firstly, previous studies have underscored the influence of marital status on employees' commitment to work (Su, 2020) and the notable impact of childcare responsibilities on work engagement (Dumas & Perry-Smith, 2018).

... Through the SC of groups' members, multidisciplinary research groups can access diverse information that could complement their skills and generate new ideas for research based on a greater scope of skills (Gonzalez-Brambila, 2014;Gonzalez-Brambila et al., 2013;Perry-Smith and Vincent, 2008). Nevertheless, the diversity of backgrounds may generate barriers for collaboration, such as misunderstandings due to differences in language, culture or viewpoints, as well as a lack of cooperation due to integration conflicts, with a potential negative influence on performance (Perry-Smith and Vincent, 2008). ...

... That is, during idea evaluation, assessors aim to understand the idea. Idea evaluation is considered a crucial step in the idea journey, because novel ideas are of little use if they are not recognized as such (Perry-Smith and Mannucci, 2017). Such evaluation needs to then be translated into a decision, in which assessors act upon their initial recognition of the idea and decide whether to select it or not. ...

Although researchers have examined creativity from numerous theoretical angles (Ali et al., 2021;Klasmeier & Rowold, 2020;Santos et al., 2015;Tu et al., 2019), due to the social nature of invention (Amabile et al., 1996;Grosser et al., 2014;Perry-Smith & Shalley, 2003), utilizing enterprise social media, the theory of social exchange offers a valuable lens for examining social exchange activities amongst organizational members that ultimately foster employee innovation. ...
