权变视角下企业家导向与企业创新行为间关系研究

Study on the Relationship between Entrepreneurial Orientation and Firm Innovation from the Contingency Perspective

探讨了企业家导向对企业利用式创新和探索式创新活动的影响,以及代表企业内部情境的企业年龄和代表企业外部环境特征的环境动态性对这两种影响的调节作用。基于172家企业的调研数据进行实证研究,结果表明企业家导向有利于两种创新活动的进行,并且其对探索式创新的作用更大;企业年龄会加强企业家导向对利用式创新的正向作用,对企业家导向和探索式创新之间的关系无显著调节作用;环境动态性减弱了企业家导向对利用式创新的作用,加强了其对探索式创新的作用。

This paper develops a conceptual model about the impacts of entrepreneurial orientation on exploitative and ex-ploratory innovation ,as well as the moderating role of firm age representing internal context of the firm and environmental dynamism characterizing external environment of the firm .Using survey data from 172 companies ,our empirical results indicate that entrepreneurial orientation facilitates both types of innovation ,and has stronger impact on exploration .Firm age strengthens the positive relationship between EO and exploitation ,and has no significant moderating effect on the rela-tionship between EO and exploration .Environmental dynamism weakens the relationship between EO and exploitation , and in the contrast ,strengthens the relationship between EO and exploration .
