ABSTRACT
Robots, algorithms, and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing how work is done on a global scale, with a notable surge in robot application. However, there exist large disparities among countries and regions on robot application – an engagement of innovative activity in a nascent industry. To explain the country- and region-level differences in the global robotics landscape, we take a culture perspective and propose a cross-level lens of cultural tightness-looseness. This lens posits an interaction effect of cultural tightness between the first (i.e., country level) and second level (i.e., state-/province- level) on robot application at the third level (i.e., industry level). As such, we predict that people in a tight country or region would be more likely to innovate in a loose industry (e.g., robotics industry) than those in a loose country or region. More importantly, the effect of region tightness on robot application will be amplified by country tightness. Results based on multi-source longitudinal archival data provide strong support for our prediction. These findings together shed light on how cultural tightness at different levels interact to affect innovation in a loose domain.
