谦卑型领导有助于成熟企业的商业模式创新吗?——一个有调节的中介模型

Is Humble Leadership Conducive to Business Model Innovation of Mature Enterprises?——A Moderated Mediation Model

在领导力与商业模式创新交叉研究方兴未艾的今天,针对谦卑型领导与商业模式创新交叉研究较少的现状,本研究基于高阶理论,引入高管团队创造力和高管团队决策力为中介变量,创新的外部支持为调节变量,探讨了谦卑型领导对成熟企业商业模式创新的影响及中介机制和边界条件。研究发现,谦卑型领导正向影响成熟企业的商业模式创新,正向影响高管团队创造力,负向影响高管团队决策力;高管团队创造力和高管团队决策力共同在谦卑型领导与商业模式创新之间起部分中介作用。其中,高管团队创造力在谦卑型领导与商业模式创新之间表现为积极的传递作用,高管团队决策力在二者之间表现为消极的传递作用;创新的外部支持水平越高,谦卑型领导对高管团队创造力的正向作用越强,对高管团队决策力的负向作用越弱,同时高管团队创造力的中介作用越强,高管团队决策力的中介作用越弱。本研究解释了谦卑型领导对商业模式创新影响的复杂作用机制及其潜在的负面影响,为具有谦卑特征的领导者推动成熟企业的商业模式创新提供了理论启示。

At present,the cross-research on leadership and business model innovation is flourishing.Aiming at the reality that there are few cross-studies on humble leadership and business model innovation,this study,based on the Upper Echelon Theory,introduces the creativity and decision-making ability of top management team(TMT) as the mediators,and the external support of innovation as the moderator.This paper discusses the influence of humble leadership on business model innovation as well as its intermediary mechanisms and boundary condition.The results show that humble leadership positively affects business model innovation of mature enterprises and TMT creativity,and negatively affects TMT decision-making ability.TMT creativity and TMT decision-making ability play a partial mediating role between humble leadership and business model innovation.Specifically,TMT creativity plays a positive indirect role between humble leadership and business model innovation while TMT decision-making ability plays a negative indirect role between them.The higher the level of external support for innovation,the stronger the positive effect of humble leadership on TMT creativity,the weaker the negative effect on TMT decision-making ability,and the stronger the mediating effect of TMT creativity,the weaker the mediating effect of TMT decisionmaking ability.The research explains the complex mechanisms and potential negative effect of humble leadership on business model innovation,and provides theoretical enlightenment for humble leaders to promote business model innovation of mature enterprises.
