基于组织吸收能力的农民合作社渐进式创新机制研究

Research on the Incremental Innovation Mechanism of Farmers’Cooperatives Based on Organizational Absorptive Capacity

在乡村产业加快转型升级背景下,如何获取和成功利用新技术、新知识,推动持续创新进而拓展农业增值增效空间,是农民合作社生存和发展的关键。从吸收能力的过程视角,结合农民合作社的制度特征和组织结构,探究吸收能力的前因及其对合作社渐进式创新的影响机制。采用结构方程模型对101家农民合作社的问卷数据开展实证研究。结果表明:知识多样性、培训机制、内部信任显著正向影响潜在吸收能力,知识多样性和学习导向对实现吸收能力有显著影响,潜在吸收能力和实现吸收能力均能促进合作社的渐进式创新,且实现吸收能力的影响更为强烈。基于上述结论,提出增强合作社知识获取、消化、转换与利用能力的措施建议,促进合作社资源结构优化和创新活动开展。

In the context of accelerating the transformation and upgrading of rural industries,how to acquire and successfully utilize new technologies and new knowledge,and promote continuous innovation to expand the space for agricultural value-added and efficiency gains,is the key to the survival and development of farmers’cooperatives.From the process perspective of absorptive capacity,combined with the institutional characteristics and organizational structure of farmers’cooperatives,this paper explores the antecedents of absorptive capacity and its influencing mechanism on the incremental innovation of farmers’cooperatives.An empirical test was carried out on the questionnaire data of 101 farmers’cooperatives by using structural equation model.The results show that knowledge diversity,training mechanism,and internal trust significantly and positively affect the potential absorptive capacity,and knowledge diversity and learning orientation have a significant impact on the realization of absorptive capacity,as well as both the potential absorptive capacity and the realized absorptive capacity can promote the incremental innovation of cooperatives,while the effect of achieving absorptive capacity is stronger.Based on the above conclusions,measures and suggestions are put forward to enhance the knowledge acquisition,digestion,conversion and utilization capabilities of cooperatives,so as to promote the optimization of cooperative resource structure and the development of innovative activities.
