高管团队权力不平等、创新注意力与企业创新强度

Top Management Team Power Disparity,Innovation Attention and Enterprise Innovation Intensity

基于高阶理论和注意力基础观的理论视角,以中国沪深两市2013-2015年间202家A股制造业上市企业606个高管团队为样本数据,考察了高管团队权力不平等如何影响企业创新强度。研究发现,高管团队权力不平等对企业创新强度具有显著正向影响;高管团队创新注意力在高管团队权力不平等与企业创新强度之间起着中介作用,即高管团队权力不平等通过影响高管团队创新注意力进而影响企业创新强度。研究揭示了高管团队权力不平等对企业创新强度影响的内在认知机制,是对现有高阶理论和注意力基础观研究的有益补充,同时为企业创新实践提供了更加契合的分析框架和理论参考。

Based on the theoretical perspective of upper echelons theory(UET)and attention-based view(ABV),this paper examines the relation between top management team(TMT)power disparity and enterprise innovation by referring to the data about 606 top management teams from A-share listed manufacturing enterprises in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets from 2013 to 2015.Two findings have been obtained:TMT power disparity has a positive effect on enterprise innovation intensity;TMT innovation attention plays an intermediary role between TMT power disparity and enterprise innovation intensity,that is,TMT power disparity influences TMT innovation attention and hence affects enterprise innovation intensity.The paper reveals the internal cognitive mechanism of the relation between TMT disparity and enterprise innovation intensity,enriches the theories of UET and ABV,and provides a more appropriate analytic framework and theoretical reference for enterprise innovation practice.
