创业型领导对创业绩效的双路径影响研究:决策逻辑视角

The Dual Path Effects of Entrepreneurial Leadership on Entrepreneurial Performance:A Perspective of Decision-Making Logic

作为应对不确定创业环境和强资源约束的有效领导力,创业型领导一直受到学者们的关注并衍生出一系列探索其效应的研究。相关研究中创业型领导对创业绩效的促进作用得到学者们的认同,然而,对于两者之间内在机制的探索却缺乏理论解释和依据,特别是从决策逻辑视角出发考察其边界影响机制的研究较为鲜见。鉴于此,基于效果推理理论,构建了一个被调节的双中介模型来诠释创业型领导影响创业绩效的双路径效应。运用跨时点的问卷收集数据验证假设,结果表明:对于秉持因果决策逻辑的创业型领导,他们倾向于通过创业学习来提升创业绩效;而对于秉持效果决策逻辑的创业型领导者,他们既能够通过创业即兴来提升创业绩效,也能够通过创业学习来影响创业绩效。

Entrepreneurial leadership is an effective leadership style that promotes an organization's competitive advantage and sustainable development.In modern organizations,entrepreneurial leaders play important roles in organizational growth and development.Recent research has focused on the effects of entrepreneurial leadership on entrepreneurial performance,organizational resilience,innovation,and knowledge management.However,these studies have not considered the decision-making logics of leaders and have mainly hypothesized them as antecedents of organizational behaviors,rather than considering them as moderators.Based on the theory of effectuation,this study presents a dual path model to examine the dual effects of entrepreneurial leadership,considering the moderating effects of causation and effectuation decision-making logics.A two-wave longitudinal survey was conducted,with a two-month interval between the waves.The first wave collected data on participants'demographics,organizational information,perceptions of entrepreneurial leadership,causation decision-making logic,and effectuation decision-making logic.Two months later,the second wave collected data on entrepreneurial learning,entrepreneurial improvisation,and entrepreneurial performance.Path analysis was used to test the hypotheses,and the results,based on 210 valid questionnaires,demonstrated that entrepreneurial leadership had a positive indirect effect on entrepreneurial performance through entrepreneurial learning,moderated by causation decision-making logic.Specifically,when leaders exhibited high causation decision-making logic,the positive indirect effect of entrepreneurial leadership on entrepreneurial performance through entrepreneurial learning was stronger.Moreover,entrepreneurial leadership also promoted entrepreneurial performance through entrepreneurial improvisation,moderated by effectuation decision-making logic.Specifically,when leaders exhibited high effectuation decision-making logic,the positive indirect effect of entrepreneurial leadership on entrepreneurial performance through entrepreneurial improvisation was stronger.Furthermore,effectuation decision-making logic was found to moderate the indirect effect of entrepreneurial leadership on entrepreneurial performance through entrepreneurial learning.These findings have theoretical and practical implications.The study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the effects of entrepreneurial leadership by examining the dual paths of entrepreneurial learning and improvisation and the moderating roles of effectuation and causation decision-making logics.The application of effectuation theory and the consideration of decision-making logics as moderators address the need for more research in this area.From a practical perspective,attention should be given to entrepreneurial leadership and their decision-making logics.Leaders should adopt appropriate decision-making logics at different stages of enterprise development and in different environments,while focusing on organizational behaviors that promote entrepreneurial performance.
