Entrepreneurially minded employees may respond to this discrepancy with creative deviance, i.e., pursue ideas despite managerial orders to stop. We elucidate this understudied flipside of corporate entrepreneurship by theorising and testing organisational and individual antecedents to creative deviance. Strain theory leads us to hypothesise that organisational support for innovation reduces creative deviance. Based on achievement goal theory, we conjecture that mastery goals foster creative deviance. These predictors are expected to interact in their impact on creative deviance. Data from 659 employees support our hypotheses. Our study contributes to corporate entrepreneurship theory by expounding an important, but so far understudied form of innovative behaviour, extends strain theory by showing how individual traits can reinforce or mitigate the structural strain created by organisations, and advances research on achievement goals by connecting mastery achievement orientation to deviant behaviour. In terms of practical implications, our study indicates how leaders may promote compliant innovation through organisational support and how they can increase person-job fit by screening candidates’ achievement goals during recruitment.</jats:p> https://ris.uni-paderborn.de/record/57395 eng World Scientific Pub Co Pte Ltd info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1142/s1363919620500206 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/1363-9196 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/1757-5877 info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess TENZER H, Yang P.

Despite these threats, many such small states have struggled to participate in multilateral discussions to regulate and prohibit autonomous weapons systems, while the negotiations have been ongoing within the Group of Governmental Experts on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (GGE on LAWS) under the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (UNCCW) since 2017. This paper analyses the dilemmic positions small state diplomats find themselves in when trying to devote time and expertise to international discussions on autonomous weapons systems while at the same time negotiating the power politics within the international law-making system and working with a limited expertise pool and resource base. The research is based on interviews with diplomats in Geneva, participation data collated by the UN, and virtual and in-person observation of the GGE on LAWS discussions in the UNCCW. The paper concludes that disarmament diplomats from small states from the Global South face various challenges, including small governments back home that cannot address emerging issues, great power politics, unequal international legal systems, and absent common positions on disarmament. Nevertheless, these same small states have dealt with such challenges, so as to decolonise the asymmetric diplomatic space within which they operate. https://ris.uni-paderborn.de/record/57140 https://ris.uni-paderborn.de/download/57140/57141 eng University of Malta.
