创新驱动、自主性与创新绩效的关系实证研究

An empirical study on the relationships among innovation drivers,autonomy,and innovation performance

立足于自身资源和能力的自主技术创新是本土企业应对经济全球化竞争的关键,哪些因素影响着创新自主性以及自主性对创新绩效有怎样的影响是值得探讨的问题。本研究将促使企业创新的因素概括为内部驱动和外部驱动,提出创新驱动通过自主性对创新绩效产生影响,以及环境动态性对内部驱动和外部驱动与创新自主性的关系具有相反的调节作用。运用270家企业的调研数据实证分析发现,创新的外部驱动通过内部驱动的完全中介作用影响创新自主性,内部驱动再通过创新自主性的完全中介对创新绩效产生正向影响。研究还发现,环境动态性对创新外部驱动和创新自主性的关系具有正向调节作用,但是对内部驱动和创新自主性之间的关系没有显著调节作用。

Autonomous technological innovation, which is established in self - owned resources and capability, has become a key point for Chinese indigenous firms facing global economic competition. Which factors influence the autonomy of innovation and how autonomy impacts innovative performance deserve to be discussed. This study categorizes factors influencing innovation into internal and external drivers, proposes both of them positively affect innovation autonomy and innovative performance, and innovation autonomy plays a mediating role in the drivers - performance relationship. In addition, we hypothesize that environmental dynamism plays contrary moderating roles in the relationships between internal/external drivers and innovation autonomy. Using survey data collected from 270 Chinese enterprises, we tested the relationships among internal drivers, external drivers, environmental dynamism, innovation autonomy, and innovative performance. The results showed that internal drivers play a full mediating role in external drivers - innovation autonomy, and the positive relationship between internal drivers and innovative performance is fully mediated by innovation autonomy. Besides, we find that environmental dynamism strengthens the positive relationship between external drivers and innovation autonomy, but has no significant moderating effect on internal drivers -innovation autonomy.
