组织控制协同使用、知识转移与新产品创造力——被调节的中介研究

The Combined Use of Organizational Controls,Knowledge Transfer,New Product Creativity:A Research of Moderated Mediation Effects

整合组织控制理论与知识基础观,构建了组织间控制—合作伙伴知识转移—新产品创造力的作用路径。引入吸收能力理论,进一步提出企业不同吸收能力维度会正向调节变量之间的间接关系。以248家制造业企业为样本,利用Bootstrapping法进行多重中介分析和被调节的中介检验。结果表明:(1)组织控制协同使用除了对新产品创造力产生直接促进作用外,还可以通过促进合作伙伴显性和隐性知识转移这一中介机制提升新产品创造力;(2)合作伙伴的显性和隐性知识转移均有利于新产品创造力,且隐性知识转移的作用更强;(3)在企业消化能力强的情况下,隐性知识转移的中介作用更加显著,而企业转化能力强时,显性知识转移的中介过程更容易实现。

Integrated organizational control theory with knowledge-based view, this research constructs a mediation mode of ＇organizational control-knowledge transfer of cooperative partners-new product creativity＇. Further, the absorptive capacity theory offers a valuable lens to develop a moderated mediation model that the differing dimen- sions of absorptive capability positively moderate the mediated relationship between the combined use of organiza- tional controls and new product creativity. An empirical research is conducted by using the data collected from 248 manufacturing enterprises in China. And the Bootstrapping method is employed to analyze the multiple media- tion effects and test the moderated meditative effects. The results show that： （1） The combined use of controls contributes to the new product creativity, and it can also enhance new product creativity through the mediating ef- fects of explicit and tacit knowledge transfer; （2） Both explicit and tacit knowledge transfer have significantly posi- tive effects on new product creativity, and tacit knowledge transfer has a greater effect than the explicit knowledge transfer; （3） In the context of higher assimilation capacity of corporate, the mediating effect of tacit knowledge transfer is more significant, while in the context of higher transformation capacity of corporate, the me- diating process of explicit knowledge transfer is easier to be realized.
