Introduction/Main Objectives: This research examines the antecedents and
implications of innovation capability, empirically. The outcomes aim at
contributing to the knowledge and understanding about the main driver of
innovation capability. Background Problems: Yogyakarta is known for its
many and varied charms, its tourist attractions, the availability of facilities
and infrastructure to support tourism, such as souvenir sellers. But there is
known that number of total foreign and domestic tourists has been a decrease
in 2018 (Semester I by 11.51% and II by 3.33%), also in 2019 (Semester I by
11.23%). This is a challenge for MSMEs in the tourism sector and MSMEs
in other sectors that support tourism, such a souvenir seller. Bakpia is one of
the well-known products of the food and beverage sector in Yogyakarta often
bought for souvenirs. The Bakpia MSMEs’ innovations were triggered by
competition among the Bakpia producers in Yogyakarta. Therefore, every
Bakpia MSME must be competitive to survive in the market. Thus, there is a
need to improve their innovation capability, which will impact the innovation
performance of the Bakpia MSMEs in Yogyakarta. There is a gap in the
research regarding the influence of the factors that are predicted to build
innovation capability. Novelty: Previous studies’ results indicate that the
influence of knowledge donating and knowledge collecting about innovation
performance is not yet conclusive. Therefore, this study aims to fill the gap
in the previous research by examining the role of capability as a mediating
between knowledge sharing process (knowledge donating and knowledge
collecting) to innovation performance. Research Methods: Forty-eight
items of data were obtained from Bakpia MSMEs in Yogyakarta through a
survey conducted by distributing questionnaires directly to them. The data
were analyzed using PLS-SEM via SmartPLS version 3.3.2.
Findings/Results: This study shows that the direct and indirect effects of
sharing knowledge (which includes donating and collecting knowledge)
about innovation performance are found to be positive but not significant.
The results also indicate that innovation capability does not significantly
mediate knowledge donating and knowledge collecting about innovation
performance. Meanwhile, the influence of innovation capability on
innovation performance was found to be positive and significant.
Conclusion: The antecedents are insignificant for innovation capability, but
the antecedent’s constructs still act as a driver to build innovation capability
