企业网络中心性与绩效的倒U型关系——创业导向的中介作用及环境不确定性的调节作用

The Inverted U Shape Relationship Between Network Centrality and Performance:EO as the Mediator and EU as the Moderator

对于在企业网络中占据中心位置是否有益于企业绩效提升,现有研究往往从线性视角看待两者关系,缺乏从曲线视角的分析。构建以创业导向为中介、环境不确定性为调节因素的受调节的中介模型,研究发现:(1)网络中心性与企业绩效呈倒U型关系;(2)网络中心性与创业导向呈倒U型关系,创业导向在网络中心性与企业绩效的关系中起中介作用;(3)环境不确定性能够调节网络中心性与创业导向的关系,并通过中介效应影响企业绩效。

Most of the recent studies adopt a linear view and come up with inconsistent results to whether the central posi- tion in inter - organizational networks will benefit firm performance. This paper constructes a regulated intermediary model with entrepreneurial orientation as the intermediary and environmental uncertainty as the adjusting factor, the results sug- gest that ： （ 1 ） There is an inverted U shape relationship between network centrality and performance. （2） Network central- ity has an inverted U shape relationship with entrepreneurial orientation, and entrepreneurship orientation will mediate the relationship between network centrality and performance. （3） Environmental uncertainty will moderate the relationship be- tween network centrality and emrepreneurial orientation, and has an indirect effects on firm performance.
