技术管理能力对突破性技术创新行为的影响:并行多重中介机制

Impact of Technology Management Capability on Radical Technological Innovation Behavior:Multiple Parallel Mediation Mechanism

突破性技术创新对企业获取和保持可持续竞争优势具有重要意义,如何实现突破性技术创新已成为理论研究和企业实践关注的焦点。实现突破性技术创新离不开一系列突破性技术创新行为,技术管理是突破性技术创新行为的重要影响因素,但已有研究还没有关注到技术管理能力对突破性技术创新行为的影响,导致突破性技术创新行为未得到充分激活,进而影响突破性技术创新的成功实现。基于行为科学理论,识别技术管理能力影响突破性技术创新行为过程中的传导要素,分析技术管理能力及其与技术能力的匹配对突破性技术创新行为的直接影响,以及技术能力、激进式企业家精神和创新意愿在技术管理能力影响突破性技术创新行为过程中的中介作用。采取大样本问卷调查收集制造业企业数据,运用结构方程模型对提出的假设进行实证检验。研究结果表明,技术管理能力及其与技术能力的匹配对突破性技术创新行为具有显著的正向影响,技术能力、激进式企业家精神和创新意愿在技术管理能力影响突破性技术创新行为的过程中起部分中介作用。与激进式企业家精神和创新意愿相比,技术能力的中介作用更大。在此基础上,构建包括直接路径、能力路径和动机路径的技术管理能力对突破性技术创新行为影响的传导路径模型。研究结果证实了技术管理能力对突破性技术创新行为具有重要影响,丰富了突破性技术创新影响因素的研究成果,揭示了技术管理能力对突破性技术创新行为的影响路径,拓展了对技术管理能力作用发挥的理论认识。同时,从提升技术管理能力和技术能力、培育激进式企业家精神和创新意愿等方面提出对策建议,为企业运用技术管理能力促进突破性技术创新行为提供理论指导。

Radical technological innovation is of great significance for firms to acquire and maintain sustainable competitive advantage,and how to achieve radical technological innovation has become the focus of academic research and firm practices.Radical technological innovation cannot be achieved without a series of technological innovation behavior.Technology management is an important impact factor of radical technological innovation behavior.However,the existing research has not paid attention to the impact of technology management capability,which leads to the failure of full activation of radical technological innovation behavior.Then,it further affects the successful realization of radical technological innovation.Based on the behavioral science theory,this study identified the transition factors in the relationship between technology management capability and radical technological innovation behavior.It then analyzed the direct impacts of technology management capability and the fit between technology management capability and technological capability on radical technological innovation behavior.This study further regarded technological capability,aggressive entrepreneurship and innovation intention as mediator variables,and analyzed the indirect impacts of technology management capability on radical technological innovation behavior through them.A large sample questionnaire survey was adopted to collect data on manufacturing firms,and the structural equation model was used to conduct the empirical test on the proposed hypotheses.The results show that technology management capability and the fit between technology management capability and technological capability exert positive impacts on radical technological innovation behavior.Technological capability,aggressive entrepreneurship and innovation intention mediate the relationship between technology management capability and radical technological innovation behavior.Compared to aggressive entrepreneurship and innovation intention,the mediation effect of technological capability is greater.Based on the results,this study constructs the path model of technology management capability on radical technological innovation behavior,which includes the direct impact of technology management capability,the indirect impact path of capability and the indirect impact path of motivation.This study verified the significant impact of technology management capability on radical technological innovation behavior,which enriched the research of impact factors of radical technological innovation.It also extended the understanding of how technology management capability plays its role by revealing the influence path of technology management capability on radical technological innovation behavior.At the same time,this study offered some suggestions from the aspects of improving technology management capability and technological capability,and fostering aggressive entrepreneurship and innovation intention.These suggestions provide theoretical guidance for firms to employ technology management capability to promote radical technological innovation behavior.
