生命史理论视角下创业者童年社会经济地位对突破式创新的影响研究

The Influence of Entrepreneurs Childhood Socioeconomic Status on Radical Innovation:The Perspective of Life History Theory

基于生命史理论,通过问卷调查和基于场景的实验设计,检验创业者童年社会经济地位对突破式创新的影响效应,以及调节焦点的中介效应和当前社会经济地位的调节效应。研究表明:(1)创业者童年社会经济地位对突破式创新行为具有显著负向影响。(2)创业者调节焦点在童年社会经济地位与突破式创新间起中介作用,创业者低童年社会经济地位激发其促进焦点,从而实现突破式创新;创业者高童年社会经济地位激发其防御焦点,不利于突破式创新决策的实现。(3)创业者当前社会经济地位在调节焦点与突破式创新间呈现调节作用。

Drawing upon life history theory,this research developed and tested a theoretical model through the scenario-based experiment and questionnaire survey method to investigate how entrepreneurs’childhood socioeconomic status,as a distal motivational factor,affect their radical innovation through the proximal mediating motivation of regulatory focus.The results reveal that:①entrepreneur’s childhood socioeconomic status has a significant negative impact on radical innovation.②Entrepreneur’s regulatory focus mediates the relationship between childhood socioeconomic status and radical innovation.Entrepreneurs with low childhood socioeconomic status exhibit a higher promotion-focused orientation,thereby positively influence their radical innovation.In contrast,entrepreneurs with high childhood socioeconomic status exhibit a prevention-focused orientation,hindering their radical innovation.③Furthermore,entrepreneurs current socioeconomic status moderates the relationship between regulatory focus and radical innovation.
