	abstract = {One way that firms attempt to innovate is through investment in R\&D activity. However, there is much heterogeneity in innovations among firms making comparable R\&D investments. This paper explores employee ownership{\textquoteright}s moderating effect on the relationship between R\&D intensity and innovative output. The basis for the moderation is that ownership increases motivation and commitment to the innovation agenda of the company, and retains employees{\textquoteright} entrepreneurial efforts for internal opportunities. Using hierarchical regression, the data support the hypothesis that employee stock ownership positively moderates the relationship between R\&D intensity and innovative output. Implications for future research and practice are addressed.},
