异源绩效压力对企业外部研发倾向的异质性影响——区域制度环境的调节作用

Heterogeneous Influence of Different Sources of Performance Pressure on External R&D Tendency of Firms——Moderating Role of Regional Institutional Environment

外部研发是企业开放式创新的重要实践,也是企业重要的战略决策,但现有文献较少从行为的视角分析促使企业做出外部研发决策的关键因素。基于绩效反馈理论的研究成果,本文将绩效压力视为触发做出外部研发决策行为的关键因素,认为绩效压力感知是影响企业外部研发倾向的关键因素,并且转型期中国独特的制度情境特征在其中发挥着重要的调节作用。以695家中国制造业上市公司为样本进行检验,研究发现:外源性绩效压力对企业外部研发倾向具有积极的影响,而内源性绩效压力对企业外部研发倾向具有消极影响;区域制度环境的改善强化了不同绩效压力对于企业外部研发倾向的影响。外源性绩效压力是企业进行外部研发的重要诱因,完善的区域制度环境会强化这种压力对于企业外部研发的触发作用。

External R&D is an important part of enterprise open innovation as well as the strategic decision of the enterprise,but the existing literature does not analyze the key factors that affect the firm’s decision-making of external R&D from the behavioral perspective.Based on the performance feedback theory,it considered performance pressure as the key factor to trigger the decision-making behavior of external R&D,and held that performance pressure was the key factor to influence the tendency of external R&D of firms,and the unique institutional environment characteristics of China in the transition period played a moderating role.The results show that external performance pressure has positive influence on external R&D tendency of firms while internal performance pressure has negative effect.The improvement of regional institutional environment has strengthened the influence of different sources of performance pressure on external R&D tendency of firms.External performance pressure is an important incentive for enterprises to conduct external R&D,and the improved regional institutional environment can strengthen the effect of this kind of pressure on firms’external R&D.
