Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of knowledge-based dynamic process capabilities (KBDPCs) on innovation performance, considering the mediator role of innovation processes in the Iranian knowledge-based high-tech companies.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on an in-depth review of previous studies, the indicators pertaining to the research constructs were extracted. Then, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were applied to identify and confirm the research constructs. Partial least squares-based structural equation modeling was used to investigate the intended relationships.

Findings

The results of the direct effect showed that KBDPCs have a significant positive effect on innovation performance. Further, moderation analysis demonstrated that innovation processes are moderated by the relationship between KBDPCs and innovation performance. Accordingly, the findings revealed that KBDPCs affect product innovation performance and exploratory innovation and transitional innovation increase this effect. Also, the mediator role of exploitation innovation in the relationship between KBDPCs and process innovation performance was proved.

Research limitations/implications

As this research was performed in the Iranian context, caution should be taken regarding the generalizability of the findings.

Practical implications

This paper provides a roadmap based on existing scenarios to enhance innovation performance for the surveyed-companies, in particular, and other companies, in general.

Social implications

The social implication of this study is to respond to the challenge of the managers of Iranian knowledge-based high-tech companies to improve innovation performance through KBDPCs and innovation processes and to grow and develop a sustainable business.

Originality/value

Given rare studies that have so far been conducted on the research field, this study extends the theories of KBDPCs, innovation processes and innovation performance. The constructs of the research model and relationships intended among them are also significant.

基于知识的动态过程能力，创新过程和创新绩效之间的关系：对伊朗基于知识的高科技公司的实证研究

目的

本文的目的是研究基于知识的动态过程功能（KBDPC）对创新绩效的影响，同时考虑到创新过程在伊朗基于知识的高科技公司中的中介作用。

设计/方法/方法

在对以前研究进行深入审查的基础上，提取了与研究结构有关的指标。然后，采用探索性和确认性因素分析来识别和确认研究结构。基于偏最小二乘的结构方程模型用于研究预期的关系。

发现

直接效果的结果表明，KBDPC对创新绩效具有显着的积极影响。此外，适度分析表明，KBDPC与创新绩效之间的关系可以调节创新过程。因此，研究结果表明KBDPC会影响产品创新绩效，而探索性创新和过渡性创新会增加这种效果。此外，还证明了开发创新在KBDPC与流程创新绩效之间关系中的中介作用。

研究局限/意义

由于这项研究是在伊朗的背景下进行的，因此应谨慎对待研究结果的一般性。

实际影响

本文提供了一种基于现有方案的路线图，以提高被调查公司（尤其是一般公司）的创新绩效。

社会影响

这项研究的社会意义是应对伊朗知识型高科技公司的管理人员提出的挑战，即他们通过KBDPC和创新流程来提高创新绩效，并发展和发展可持续业务。

创意/价值

鉴于迄今为止在研究领域进行的罕见研究，这项研究扩展了KBDPC，创新过程和创新绩效的理论。研究模型的构造以及它们之间的关系也很重要。
