跨界搜索与新兴技术企业责任式创新的关系研究——柔性惯例复制的中介作用和知识场活性的调节作用

Research on the Relationship between Boundary-spanning Search and Corporate Responsible Innovation--The Mediating Effect of Flexible Routine Replication and the Moderating Effect of Knowledge Field Activity

本文对跨界搜索、柔性惯例复制、企业责任式创新、知识场活性之间的关系进行了探讨。根据资源基础理论与动态能力理论,以知识场活性为调节变量,构建了“跨界搜索-柔性惯例复制-责任式创新”的影响关系模型,并以248个新兴技术企业为调查对象,运用结构方程模型进行了实证研究。研究发现:(1)跨界搜索与企业责任式创新有显著的正相关关系;(2)柔性惯例复制在跨界搜索与企业责任式创新之间起到部分中介作用;(3)知识场活跃度在跨界搜索与企业责任式创新之间起到正向调节作用,知识场开放度在跨界搜索与企业责任式创新之间起到“倒U型”调节作用。本研究丰富了责任式创新的定量研究,并为企业责任式创新的实施提供理论支持与实践启示。

This paper discusses the relationship among boundary-spanning search(BSS),flexible routine replication(FRR),corporate responsibility innovation(CRI)and knowledge field activity(KFA).According to resource-based theory and dynamic capability theory,with flexible routine replication as mediator and knowledge field activity as moderator,structural equation model is employed to explore the mechanism of how boundary-spanning search influences corporate responsible innovation.The study finds that,firstly,boundaryspanning search has a significant positive impact on the corporate responsible innovation.Secondly,flexible routine replication positively mediates the relationship between boundary-spanning search and corporate responsible innovation.Thirdly,knowledge field liveness(KFL)has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between boundary-spanning search and corporate responsibility innovation,while knowledge field openness(KFO)has an inverted U-shaped moderating effect on the relationship between boundary-spanning search and corporate responsibility innovation.This study enriches the quantitative research of responsible innovation and provides theoretical support and practical enlightenment for the implementation of corporate responsible innovation.
