A Study on the Relationship between Leadership Styles and Innovation Performance:Innovation as Mediator

笔者基于314家中国企业的样本数据,对领导风格与创新绩效的关系进行实证研究,着重考察探索式创新和利用式创新的中介作用。结果发现,领导风格和创新行为对创新绩效有显著影响;交易型领导风格对利用式创新有正向影响,对探索式创新有负向影响;变革型领导风格对利用式创新有负向影响,对探索式创新有正向影响;探索式创新在变革型领导风格与创新绩效的关系中起完全中介作用,在交易型领导风格与创新绩效的关系中起部分中介作用;利用式创新在交易型领导风格与创新绩效的关系中起完全中介作用,在变革型领导风格与创新绩效的关系中起部分中介作用。

Based on the extant literature, this study attempts to provide a conceptual model for how leadership style influences innova- tion performance using exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation as mediator. Using data gathered through a survey of 314 en- terprises, we empirically test the impact of leadership styles on innovation performance. The results show that among transformational leadership, transactional leadership, exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation have a significant effect on innovation perform- ance. The full mediating effect of exploratory innovation on the relationship between transformational leadership and innovation perform- ance, exploitative innovation on the relationship between transactional leadership and innovation performance are proved.
