非营利组织文化对组织创新的作用机制研究

An empirical study on the impacts of culture on organizational innovation of nonprofit organization

组织文化是非营利组织竞争中重要的软实力。本文旨在揭示非营利组织创新不是依赖于非营利组织文化中某一条件变量的强度,而是依赖于不同条件变量的组合。本文选取北京市23家非营利组织为研究对象,基于Dension组织文化模型所构建的非营利组织文化模型,运用定性比较分析(QCA)方法分析非营利组织文化对组织创新的作用机制。研究发现:非营利组织创新的文化基础是包含高参与性与高适应性两个因素的组合;在非营利组织文化外部因素和内部因素联动作用下,"高参与性*高适应性*高使命感"或者"高参与性*高适应性*高一致性"是促使组织创新的有效条件,在一定程度上,非营利组织文化要素中的员工高使命感和员工高一致性间具有替代性,但超过一定阈值,替代性将不再发挥作用;相同的非营利组织文化因素组合得分,带来的组织创新的最终得分可能相同,但组织创新内部指标得分不同。研究建议加强非营利组织组织文化中的适应性和参与性建设,协同非营利组织文化因素促进组织创新,大力培育非营利组织特色创新文化环境。

Culture is particularly important as a soft power of competition in nonprofit organizations. This paper attempts to reveal that nonprofit organizational innovation is not dependent on the strength of a condition variable in a nonprofit organizational culture, but on the combination of different condition variables. Based on the analysis of 23 nonprofit organizationsin Beijing, this paper employs qualitative comparison analysis(QCA) to explore the effect of nonprofit organization culture on organizational innovation. Results showed that: Firstly,the cultural foundation of non-profit organization innovation is a combination of two elements: high participation and high adaptability.Secondly, "High participation * High adaptability * High mission" or "High participation * High adaptability * High consistency" is a necessary condition for organizational innovation. To a certain extent, the high mission of non-profit organization cultural elements can replace the high consistency. But beyond a certain threshold, the substitution will no longer work. Thirdly, the final score of organizational innovation brought by the same non-profit organization cultural factor combination score may be the same, but the internal indicators of organizational innovation are different.The study proposes to strengthen the adaptability and participation in the organizational culture of non-profit organizations, to promote organizational innovation in collaboration with the cultural factors of non-profit organizations, and to cultivate the innovative cultural environment of non-profit organizations vigorously.
