This study examines the role of intellectual property protection (IPP) in enhancing radical technological innovation (RTI) within national research project teams, using an innovation-driven theory and an ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) perspective. This study utilizes a sample of 336 national research project team members from various Chinese universities, research institutes, and corporations to analyze the theoretical model. Additionally, a two-stage hybrid partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach, combined with artificial neural network techniques (ANN), is employed to evaluate the hypotheses. The empirical findings of this study reveal a positive association between the intensity of IPP and RTI within national research project teams. Research and development investment intensity (R&DII) is identified as the primary predictor, while integrated leadership (IL) and group potential (GP) play crucial moderating roles. These groundbreaking findings extend the scope of innovation-driven and AMO theories, providing a proactive model for national research project teams to propose improvements to the IPP system, ultimately enhancing the realization of RTI.
本研究运用创新驱动理论和能力-动机-机会（AMO）视角，考察了知识产权保护（IPP）在增强国家研究项目团队中激进技术创新（RTI）方面的作用。本研究采用来自中国各大学、研究所和企业的 336 名国家研究项目团队成员的样本，对理论模型进行了分析。此外，还采用了两阶段混合偏最小二乘结构方程建模（PLS-SEM）方法，并结合人工神经网络技术（ANN）来评估假设。本研究的实证结果表明，国家研究项目团队中 IPP 的强度与 RTI 之间呈正相关关系。研发投资强度（R&DII）被确定为主要预测因素，而综合领导力（IL）和团队潜力（GP）则起着至关重要的调节作用。这些开创性的发现扩展了创新驱动和 AMO 理论的范围，为国家研究项目团队提供了一个积极主动的模型，以提出改进 IPP 系统的建议，最终增强 RTI 的实现。
