Abstract

The study aimed to propose an index (called separation index) that can objectively determine the dominant role in an organization. We simulated data to verify the separation index that can be viable in use for determining the dominant one who has the absolute advantage in a group. We selected 3,751 abstracts and the author affiliated regions on January 2, 2019, from Pubmed Central (PMC) based on the topic of organizational innovation from 2013 to 2017. A novel hx-index incorporating the x-index was proposed for improving the h-index used in academics. Two topics were addressed on: (1) which dominant nations were in the field using hx-indexes and the choropleth map to present, and (2) what are the features of the dominant nations toward either the citation-oriented or the productivity-oriented using the Kano model to display. We programmed Microsoft Excel VBA routines to arrange the data. Visual dashboards were created for displaying the results on Google Maps. We observed that (1) the top three nations that conducted research on organizational innovation with excellent hx-indexes were the US (20.5), the UK (11.5), and Canada (10.5); (2) the US with the reliability power=0.73 yielded by the separation index is the dominant nation in the field of organizational innovation. The US presents the feature of productivity-oriented research achievements. The separation index is useful and viable in verifying the dominant role in an organization. The implementation and application are worthy of further studies in the future. 

Keywords: hx-index, separation index, organizational innovation, Kano model
