供应商创新性对制造商创新绩效的影响分析——一个有调节的中介效应模型

The Influence of Supplier Innovation on Manufacturers’ Innovation Performance——A Moderated-Mediation Model

基于组织学习理论与关系观,以供应商创新共享为中介变量,以潜在吸收能力和实际吸收能力为调节变量,构建供应商创新性影响企业创新绩效的有调节的中介效应模型。利用收集自我国高技术创新制造企业的430份有效问卷数据对相关研究假设进行实证研究。研究结果表明,供应商创新性正向影响供应商创新共享;供应商创新共享在供应商创新性与制造企业创新绩效之间起部分中介作用;潜在吸收能力和实际吸收能力正向调节供应商创新共享在供应商创新性与创新绩效之间所起的中介效应。即供应商创新性对企业产品创新的影响需要通过提高供应商创新共享实现,企业潜在吸收能力和实际吸收能力越强,该过程越易实现。研究结论对制造企业认识供应商创新性,实现供应商先进知识和技术的有效利用提供了理论借鉴。

Based on the organizational learning theory and relational view,a moderated mediation model is constructed in this study to explore how supplier innovativeness impact on manufacturer’s innovation performance. Supplier innovation sharing is introduced as the mediating variable,and potential absorptive capacity and realized absorptive capacity is introduced as the moderating variables in this model. An empirical research is conducted by using data based on the 430 valid questionnaires from Chinese manufacturers with high technology. The results show that SI has an obvious positive impact on supplier innovation sharing,and the supplier innovation sharing partially mediated the effect of SI on innovation performance. Potential absorptive capacity and realized absorptive capacity has positively and obviously moderated the mediating effect of the supplier innovation sharing on the relationship between SI and innovation performance,and the proposed moderated mediation effects indeed exist. The results of moderated mediation analysis show that indirect effect of SI on innovation performance via supplier innovation sharing was stronger when potential absorptive capacity and realized absorptive capacity were higher. That is to say,the higher the degree of potential absorptive capacity and realized absorptive capacity,the easier the mediation effects will be realized. The results offer guidance for manufacturers to identify the SI,and have practical significance to improve the exploitation of supplier’s knowledge and technology.
