Abstract:

 This study examines relationships among knowledge-oriented leadership, knowledge ‎management, intellectual capital, organizational innovation, and organizational performance in ‎higher education institutions. Integrating the knowledge-based view, resource-based view, and ‎dynamic capabilities theory, this research tests a framework positioning organizational innovation ‎as a mediator between knowledge-related antecedents and institutional performance. Survey data ‎were collected from 386 university administrators across public and private higher education ‎institutions in Hainan Province, China, and analyzed using partial least squares structural ‎equation modeling. Results reveal that knowledge-oriented leadership significantly influences ‎both knowledge management practices and intellectual capital development. Knowledge ‎management and intellectual capital positively affect organizational innovation, which ‎subsequently enhances organizational performance. Mediation analysis confirms organizational ‎innovation partially mediates relationships between knowledge-related resources and ‎performance. Findings contribute to higher education management literature by illuminating ‎pathways through which knowledge-centric leadership practices foster institutional effectiveness ‎in a rapidly developing provincial context. Practical implications for university administrators and ‎directions for future research are discussed‎.
