Overcoming Ego Depletion in Open Innovation: A Configurational Analysis of Chinese Enterprises

There are no errors in this passage. The research examines the complex relationship between ego depletion and open innovation, analyzing the impact of various factors on manager's ego depletion. It explores how different configurations of personal/organizational capabilities and internal/external conditions contribute to either high or non-high ego depletion. The study utilizes fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to identify five pathways for non-high ego depletion, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of how different combinations of factors can influence outcomes. The research also highlights the lack of consistent paths for high ego depletion, suggesting that a one-size-fits-all approach is not effective in addressing this issue. This study provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of ego depletion in open innovation, offering practical solutions for managers to avoid high ego depletion by strategically combining personal/organizational capabilities with internal/external conditions.
