创业制度环境、网络关系强度对新企业组织合法性的影响研究

The Strength of Network Ties and Organizational Legitimacy in the New Venture:The Moderating Roles of Entrepreneurial Institutional Environments

以西安高新创业园区新创企业为研究样本,结合信号理论和制度理论对新创企业网络关系强度如何以及在什么创业制度环境下影响组织合法性进行了实证分析。研究表明:新创企业网络关系强度对组织合法性具有正向影响;创业制度环境的3个维度分别发挥不同的调节作用,低水平规制维度和高水平规范维度的创业制度环境显著增强了网络关系强度对组织合法性的积极作用,而认知维度的调节作用不显著。

This study explores the relationship between the strength of network ties and organiza- tional legitimacy in the new ventures, and further explores how entrepreneurial institutional environ- ments moderate the relationship between the strength of network ties and organizational legitimacy based on signaling and institutional theories. The findings from a survey of 165 new Ventures in Xi＇an High Tech Industrial Development Zone indicate that the strength of network ties positively affects firm legitimacy. It is more beneficial when the regulatory dimension of entrepreneurial institutional environments is low while the normative dimension is high. The study concludes with a discussion of the theoretical contributions and managerial implications for understanding the contingent value of tie strength on firm legitimacy.
