Note(s): Team members = 506; R&D Managers N = 112. Reliability estimates (coefficient alpha) are on the diagonal

a Functional and educational background were coded by using a 7-item scale (1 = “Finance”; 2 = “Corporate strategy”; 3 = “Accounting”; 4 = “Marketing”; 5 = “Operations”; 6 = “Business Administration”; 7 = “Other”). This categorization is an adaptation, for our context, of the one used in studies investigating the educational and functional background of executives in organizations (e.g. Ricciotti et al., 2022; Abatecola and Cristofaro, 2020)

b Gender coded as 1 = “Men”; 0 = “Women”
