企业数字化转型中吸收能力影响组织敏捷性机理探究——IT创新和流程创新的链式中介作用

The Research on the Influence Mechanism of Absorptive Capacity on Organizational Agility in Enterprise Digital Transformation:The Chain Mediation Role of IT Innovation and Process Innovation

企业数字化转型中强化吸收能力有助于促进IT创新和流程创新,进而提升组织敏捷性。笔者基于吸收能力理论,构建了企业数字化转型中吸收能力、IT创新和流程创新影响组织敏捷性的研究模型,采用国内173家数字化转型企业的调查问卷数据,借助逐步线性回归分析方法实证验证吸收能力对组织敏捷性的影响及IT创新、流程创新在其中的作用。验证结果证实:企业数字化转型中吸收能力正向影响组织敏捷性,在此影响过程中,IT创新和流程创新发挥链式中介作用。本研究通过学术探讨企业数字化转型中吸收能力影响组织敏捷性的机理,拓展了吸收能力理论的应用范围,丰富了吸收能力如何影响组织敏捷性的相关文献,为企业在数字化转型中强化吸收能力、推进IT创新和流程创新、提升组织敏捷性等管理实践提供了理论依据。

Strengthening absorptive capacity in enterprise digital transformation can promote IT innovation and process innovation and enhance organizational agility.However, the existing literature lacks the discussion on the influence mechanism of absorptive capacity on organizational agility.Based on the absorptive capacity theory, this study constructs a research model that absorptive capacity, IT innovation and process innovation affect organizational agility, and uses questionnaire data from 173 domestic digital transformation enterprises to empirically test the impact of absorptive capability on organizational agility and the role of IT innovation and business process innovation in it by multiple linear regression.The results show that absorptive capacity positively affects organizational agility in enterprise digital transformation, and IT innovation and process innovation play a chain mediating role in this influence process.This study extends the application of absorptive capacity theory by academically exploring the influence mechanism of absorptive capacity on organizational agility in enterprisedigital transformation, enriches the literature on how absorptive capacity affects organizational agility, and provides a theoretical basis for management practices such as strengthening absorptive capacity, promoting IT innovation and business innovation and enhancing organizational agility.
