Ítem Restringido The mediating effect of knowledge management on the relationship between professional self-efficacy and corporate profitability in the peruvian metallic mining industry.(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2026-05) Zarzosa Dueñas, Gelacio Nelson; Guevara Moncada, RubénThis study analyzes the mediating role of knowledge management in the relationship between professional self-efficacy and corporate profitability in the Peruvian metal mining industry. Drawing on upper echelons theory and the knowledge-based view theory, it posits that executives’ psychological attributes affect firm performance both directly and indirectly through organizational knowledge capabilities. An invitation was extended to all 50 formally established medium and large metal mining companies in Peru to participate in this research. , Professional self-efficacy and knowledge management were measured using validated multidimensional scales. Data were collected from the two top-level senior executives responsible for strategic decisions. Financial indicators (ROA, ROE, ROIC) were obtained from audited reports. The structural model was estimated through PLS-SEM using SmartPLS4. Results confirm four key relationships. Professional self-efficacy positively influences knowledge management, which in turn significantly enhances corporate profitability. Self- efficacy also exerts a direct positive effect on profitability. Crucially, knowledge management demonstrates a complementary partial mediating effect (VAF = 24.97%), indicating that self- efficacious executives improve financial performance partly by strengthening knowledge acquisition, conversion, application, and protection processes. The conceptual model shows substantial explanatory power (R2 = 0.702 for knowledge management; R2 = 0.515 for profitability) and strong predictive relevance (Q2 > 0.50). Robustness tests, including Gaussian copula procedures, indicate that endogeneity does not undermine the mediation effect. The study integrates executive psychology with knowledge-based capabilities, highlighting knowledge management as a strategic transmission mechanism linking managerial attributes and financial outcomes in an emerging-economy context.Ítem Restringido From strategy to maintenance: Evidence from capital-intensive organizations(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2026-04) Weston Zanelli, Juan Alfredo; Chion Aguirre, Sergio JulioThis doctoral research examines the relationships among Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO), Smart Maintenance (SM), Operational Performance (OP), and Environmental Dynamism (ED) in asset-intensive organizations. Grounded in Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT) and Contingency Theory (CT), the study develops and empirically tests a structural model explaining how EO enables superior OP through the deployment of SM as a strategic organizational capability, while ED conditions this relationship. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from managers in manufacturing and mining firms and analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that EO has a positive and significant effect on SM, and that SM significantly enhances OP. Furthermore, SM partially mediates the relationship between EO and OP, confirming its role as a mechanism through which strategic orientation translates into operational excellence. The findings also reveal that ED moderates the EO–SM relationship, with observable sectoral differences between manufacturing and mining contexts. The principal doctoral contribution of this study lies in integrating EO and SM within a unified DCT-based framework, demonstrating that SM constitutes a dynamic capability that strengthens OP under varying levels of ED. By positioning maintenance as a strategic capability rather than a purely technical function, this research advances the literature in strategic management and operations and provides actionable implications for asset-intensive industries.Ítem Restringido A data-rich measure of macroeconomic uncertainty in an open economy: Evidence from Mexico(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2026-03) Guilcapi Durán, Diego Fernando; Tuesta Reátegui, VicenteThis doctoral dissertation develops a data-rich, time-varying measure of macroeconomic uncertainty for Mexico, explicitly designed for a small open emerging economy with strong financial and trade linkages. Building on the methodology of Jurado, Ludvigson, and Ng (2015), uncertainty is constructed as the conditional volatility of the unforecastable component of more than 140 monthly macroeconomic, financial, trade, and external time series over the period 2008–2023. Two indices are estimated: a domestic-only measure and a comprehensive measure that incorporates external and openness-related information. The empirical framework combines factor-augmented forecasting models, stochastic volatility estimation, and vector autoregressive techniques to evaluate the dynamic macroeconomic effects of uncertainty shocks. The results show that the comprehensive uncertainty measure is highly persistent (AR(1) ≈ 0.95; half-life ≈ 12.5 months), exhibits heavier tails, and displays fewer politically driven spikes than benchmark indicators such as the Mexico Policy Uncertainty Index and the World Uncertainty Index for Mexico. Impulse response and forecast error variance decomposition analyses indicate that uncertainty shocks are recessionary in the short run: industrial activity declines, unemployment rises, consumer confidence deteriorates, the exchange rate depreciates on impact, and short-term interest rates fall countercyclically. Uncertainty explains up to 14.2% of short-term industrial-activity volatility. An external-shock validation exercise shows that oil-price shocks play a limited role, while exchange-rate movements account for a substantial share of short-run uncertainty dynamics. Overall, the proposed index provides a stable and policy-relevant measure of macroeconomic uncertainty with direct applications in forecasting, risk assessment, and macro-financial policy analysis in emerging economies.Ítem Acceso Abierto Mediation of Knowledge Management in the relationship between employee turnover intention and Service Quality in IT Outsourcing(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2026-01) Aliaga Chávez, José Carlos; Guevara Moncada, RubenEmployee turnover represents a persistent challenge in Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) firms, where service continuity depends heavily on accumulated organizational knowledge and specialized human capital. Although previous studies recognize the strategic role of knowledge in these environments, there remains limited empirical evidence explaining how knowledge management (KM) processes mitigate the negative impact of turnover intention on service quality (SQ). This doctoral research examines the mediating role of KM processes in the relationship between turnover intention and SQ within ITO operations. A quantitative approach was applied using survey data from 139 IT professionals working in medium and large ITO firms in Peru. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS- SEM) was used to analyze the data. A second-order KM construct, composed of knowledge acquisition, conversion, application, and protection, was incorporated to assess differentiated mediating effects. The findings confirm that turnover intention negatively influences both SQ and KM, and that KM positively affects SQ. All four KM subprocesses significantly mediated the relationship between turnover intention and SQ, with knowledge protection emerging as the strongest mediator. The main doctoral contribution lies in providing empirical validation of KM as a resilience mechanism that protects service performance under turnover pressure. The study extends the knowledge-based view and dynamic capabilities perspective by demonstrating how KM processes operate as protective organizational capabilities in real outsourcing environments. Practically, the research highlights the need for institutionalized knowledge retention, standardization, and systematic application to reduce operational vulnerability and sustain SQ in high-turnover ITO contexts.Ítem Restringido Relación entre liderazgo efectivo y desempeño organizacional con efecto mediador del bienestar de los liderados(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2026-02) Villaprado Chávez, Otto Yoniur; Rivera Camino, Jaime EduardoIntroduction: This research used a causal and cross-sectional quantitative approach and analysis to thoroughly study the relationship between effective leadership and organizational performance in higher education institutions (HEIs), with the mediating effect of the well- being of those leaders. Purpose: Public educational management must be optimized, as many public entities face difficulties with resources and human talent; these challenges translate into critical determinants of institutional quality and competitiveness in public and private markets, therefore, the opportunity arises to complete the literature with significant findings, develop and validate a model that integrates the constructs that influence the performance of the HEIs. Design/Methodology/Approach: To address the problem, an approach based on neutrosophic plithogenic hypotheses was developed, using questionnaires previously validated by researchers, to assess 285 public university faculty members. Findings: The findings indicate that effective leadership positively influences organizational performance, while employee well-being significantly mediates the relationship between the two variables. The resulting univariate neutrosophic probability, confirms the hypothesis with a 65% accuracy rate, while highlighting a significant 25% uncertainty rate and a low 10% falsity rate. Research Gap: Therefore, this work contributes to the field by finding empirical validation of a relational model between three variables, considering uncertainty through neutrosophy. Implications/Originality/Value: This research makes a methodological contribution by applying a neutrosophic approach to managing uncertainty inherent in the social sciences, offering a more granular assessment than simply accepting or rejecting the hypothesis. In practice, the results offer university administrators quantitative validation that policies aimed at improving faculty leadership and well-being are an effective way to improve institutional performance.Ítem Restringido How transformational leadership drives academic innovation through creative process engagement: Conditional effects of psychological factors(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2026-02) López Lara, Verónica de las Mercedes; Arana Barbier, Pablo JoséThis doctoral research examines transformational leadership mechanisms in Latin American higher education through systematic investigation of creative process engagement as mediator and intrinsic motivation and psychological empowerment as moderators among Ecuadorian university faculty (N = 543). Structural equation modeling with two-wave temporal separation revealed complete mediation through creative process engagement (standardized indirect effect β = .11, 95% CI [.07, .15]) with no significant residual direct effect, contrasting sharply with partial mediation patterns documented in corporate, nursing, and SME contexts. The study establishes three fundamental theoretical contributions. First, it provides the first systematic examination of leadership mechanisms in Latin American higher education, addressing critical geographical gaps in international scholarship. Second, it demonstrates that Bass and Avolio's (1994) transformational leadership framework requires reconceptualization for autonomous professional populations, as doctoral socialization cultivates expectations of intellectual autonomy fundamentally incompatible with direct supervisory influence. Third, it reveals an "academic autonomy paradox" wherein psychological empowerment exhibits marginally significant negative moderation (β = −.087, p = .076), with leadership effectiveness declining 58% as empowerment increases from low to high levels, challenging foundational assumptions in empowerment theory. Intrinsic motivation demonstrated positive moderation in public universities (β = .194, p < .01) but not private institutions, indicating institutional heterogeneity requiring differentiated leadership approaches. The model explained substantial variance (R2 = .414 for creative process engagement; R2 = .312 for innovative work behavior), aligning with international benchmarks and validating that Latin American challenges reflect systematic global patterns rather than unique local deficiencies. These findings necessitate calibrated empowerment interventions adjusting to baseline autonomy levels, institutionally- differentiated leadership development programs, and culturally-adapted practices acknowledging Latin American traditions simultaneously valuing hierarchical structures and individual intellectual autonomy.Ítem Restringido Green transformational leadership and firm reputation: the roles of green supply chains and individual green values using Structural Equation Modeling(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2026-02) Galecio Sosa, Nicolay Alexander; Guevara Moncada, RubenThis study examines how green transformational leadership, individual green values, and green supply chain management influence corporate reputation in the Peruvian food sector. Although the literature assumes that these practices automatically generate reputational benefits, their effectiveness in emerging contexts with low regulatory pressure is unknown. Anon-probability convenience sampling method was used to survey 359 managers of large private companies in Lima, Peru, and the data were analyzed using PLS-SEM in SmartPLS4. These results contribute to the field by demonstrating that, in emerging business contexts like Peru, the effectiveness of green practices depends less on their mere adoption and more on their quality, authenticity, and feasibility. Furthermore, they underscore that green transformational leadership and individual green values are powerful, but their impact requires green organizational capabilities (Vo et al., 2024) and a coherent ESG that integrates environmental (“E”) with social (“S”) and governance (“G”) dimensions (Abu Afifa et al., 2025). These findings offer nuanced insights for managers and policymakers in developing economies.Ítem Restringido The effect of combining knowledge sources on product innovation, emerging economy case(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-10) Carvache Franco, Orly Daniel; Chión Chacón, Sergio JulioKnowledge is the most important resource for innovation. In open innovation, a company increases its internal knowledge through external sources, generating a combined effect of knowledge from various sources to aid in achieving innovation. The objective of this research is to unveil the combinations of knowledge sources that influence the degree of novelty or radicalness of product innovation (new to firm and new to market). This is a quantitative study using data from manufacturing companies from the 2018 Peruvian National Innovation Survey. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis techniques are applied, along with bivariate probit regression. The results show two combinations of knowledge sources: the first, internal sources (within the company or business group) with customers, suppliers, and competitors, are related to new-to-firm and new-to-market product innovation; and the second, universities, public research institutes, and consultants/private R&D institutes, are related to new-to-market product innovation. The study makes a significant contribution to research because there is currently little evidence on combinations of knowledge sources that influence the degree of novelty or radicalness of product innovation. Furthermore, the analysis includes significant actors, such as other companies in business groups and consultants/private R&D institutes, with little evidence in emerging countries. There are practical implications for public policy developers, managers, and business administrators, who can promote the management of different sources of knowledge and their combination to achieve product innovation.Ítem Restringido Entrepreneurial orientation, organizational performance, innovation, gender, and corporate governance in family businesses: A mediation and moderation model(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-11) Espinoza Samaniego, César Eduardo; Guevara Moncada, RubenThis study investigates the mechanisms through which entrepreneurial orientation (EO) influences organizational performance in family businesses, focusing on the mediating role of innovation and the moderating effects of corporate governance and gender diversity. The research aims to clarify whether EO directly enhances performance or if its impact operates primarily through innovation processes. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and explanatory research design was employed. Data were collected from a sample of family firms operating across various economic sectors through a validated questionnaire, and the hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings provide empirical support for H1 and H2, confirming that EO positively affects innovation, and that innovation, in turn, enhances organizational performance. However, the direct relationship between EO and performance (H3) was not significant, revealing an “indirect-only” mediation effect that supports H4. This result highlights innovation as the primary pathway through which EO contributes to performance outcomes. In contrast, the moderating hypotheses regarding gender diversity (H5) and corporate governance (H6) were not supported, as no significant coefficients were found for these effects. The study contributes to resource-based and contingency theories by demonstrating that innovation is an indispensable intermediary linking EO to performance. From a managerial perspective, the results emphasize that family business leaders should foster an innovation-oriented culture to translate entrepreneurial initiatives into measurable success, while continuing to promote gender diversity and sound governance as complementary though not directly moderating elements of sustainable competitiveness.Ítem Restringido Organizational culture and legitimacy: Mediation of the process of knowledge sharing and knowledge creation(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-11) Tapia Espinoza, Nancy Janneth; Vílchez Román, Carlos ManuelThis doctoral research makes a substantive and original contribution to business management and administration by explaining how knowledge-intensive organizations— particularly universities—construct and sustain social legitimacy through the strategic alignment of organizational culture and knowledge management processes. Using data from 370 academic and administrative staff in Ecuadorian universities and applying structural equation modeling, the study validates a sequential mechanism in which organizational culture influences legitimacy indirectly through knowledge creation and, more importantly, knowledge sharing. This finding provides the first empirical confirmation of the sequential nature of legitimacy construction (culture → knowledge creation → knowledge sharing → legitimacy), revealing that organizational legitimacy emerges from operational knowledge processes rather than from direct cultural alignment alone. The study also redefines the role of knowledge creation by demonstrating that it contributes to legitimacy exclusively through knowledge sharing, challenging dominant assumptions that innovation or research excellence automatically enhance institutional recognition. A multigroup analysis further establishes context-dependent legitimacy strategies, showing that public universities rely more heavily on knowledge dissemination for legitimacy, whereas private universities depend more on cultural alignment. Finally, by integrating legitimacy theory, institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and the knowledge-based view into a unified empirical framework explaining 74.8% of legitimacy variance, this research advances management science methodologically and theoretically. Collectively, these contributions offer a holistic understanding of legitimacy construction and provide actionable insights for leaders seeking to enhance stakeholder trust and sustainable advantage through culture-driven, knowledge-based strategies.
