        The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Leadership Collaborative and Competitive Conflict Management Styles and the innovative performance of the entrepreneurial team by considering the mediating role of team passion. This study was applied in a descriptive and surveyed manner. The statistical population in this study is 212 employees of industrial companies in Shiraz who were selected by convenience sampling method. For data analysis, partial least squares method and Smart PLS2 software were used. Convergent validity was used to assess the validity and Cronbach's alpha was used to measure the reliability and its coefficient is more than 0.7 for all research structures. The results show that collaborative conflict management style has a positive and significant effect on team passion, but competitive conflict management style has a negative and significant effect on team passion. The results of the study confirmed the positive and significant effect of team passion and innovative performance of entrepreneurial teams. Team passion also mediates the relationship between collaborative conflict management style and the innovative performance of entrepreneurial teams, but does not mediate the relationship between competitive conflict management style and the innovative performance of entrepreneurial teams Manuscript profile

        Firms try to increase their innovative performance to survive in a turbulent market and improve their competitive position. Combining these efforts does not necessarily lead to profit and increase their market share. To understand this shortcoming, researchers look at the factors that affect innovation performance and how to measure it. However, the subject that needs to be addressed is the firm's innovative behavior, which can affect innovation performance. By borrowing from the concept of dynamic capabilities, the present study has tried to classify the possible types of capabilities to create new products, services, and processes into three general categories: innovation capabilities, collaboration-based capabilities, and complementary capabilities, and by presenting different hypotheses for the effectiveness of these capabilities. Test the firm in innovative performance. For this purpose,180 questionnaires were distributed among firms to report the number of new products/services, the number of new processes, their financial performance, and the types of measures taken in their field of innovation from 1392 to 1394. After confirming their validity and reliability and creating structural equations using the partial least squares (PLS) method, results showed that innovation capabilities and collaboration-based capabilities significantly positively affect innovation performance. Also, research and development, training of human resources, design, collaborative research and development, and purchase of technical knowledge have significant path coefficients in the resulting PLS model and significantly affect innovation. In addition, the purchase of machinery and tools only significantly affects the creation of innovation. Manuscript profile

        Errors and failures are inevitable in organizations, and lately, there has been an increasing need in understanding and learning from organizational errors. The main purpose of this study is Structural analysis of the effect of learning from organizational error and failure on innovative human resource performance: The mediating role of organizational ambidexterity in the employees of the South Zagros Oil and Gas Exploitation Company. This study in terms of purpose, practical and in terms of data collection is a descriptive correlational research. The statistical population of the study includes all experts and employees of the South Zagros Oil and Gas Exploitation Company with 255 people, who are considered as a limited population and all of them have been studied by census method. Standard questionnaires with validity and reliability were used to collect research data. Finally, 248 completed questionnaires were collected and used as the basis for analysis. The results of structural equation testing using PLS 3 software showed that learning from organizational errors does not have a direct and significant effect on innovative performance, but due to the organizational ambidexterity, promotes innovative performance in the organization. In other words, organizational ambidexterity as a mediating variable plays the role of facilitator and complete mediator in the relationship between learning from organizational errors and innovative performance in the organization. The results also confirm the positive and significant effect of learning from organizational errors on organizational ambidexterity, and organizational ambidexterity on innovative performance.
