知识搜索、吸收能力与企业创新绩效*--环境不确定性的调节作用

摘要

[目的/意义]知识搜索对创新的贡献已经得到企业界和学术界的认可，但是知识搜索对创新绩效影响的机理仍是需要研究的问题。企业目前是否存在过度的知识搜索，吸收能力起到怎样的中介作用，环境不确定性调节知识搜索对创新绩效的影响的方向和程度？[方法/过程]为了研究这些问题，问卷调查了169家企业，运用层次回归分析法，研究知识搜索、吸收能力、环境不确定性和企业创新绩效之间的关系。[结果/结论]结果发现：企业目前还没有出现过度搜索的情况，吸收能力在知识搜索对创新绩效的影响中起到部分中介作用，环境不确定性正向调节知识搜索对创新绩效的影响。依据研究的结果，为企业的知识搜素策略提出了建议。%Purpose/Significance] The role of knowledge search for innovation performance has long been recognized by the academic circle and enterprises, but the mechanism of how knowledge search will affect innovation performance remains understudied. Are there ex-cessive knowledge search in enterprises presently? What kind of mediating effect does absorptive capacity play? How does environmental uncertainty adjust the effect of knowledge search on innovation performance? [ Method/Process] In order to study these problems, this paper investigated 169 enterprises, analyzed the data with hierarchical regression analysis method, and studied the relationships among knowledge search, absorptive capacity and environmental uncertainty and the enterprise innovation performance. [ Result/Conclusion] It is found that: there is no excessive knowledge search in enterprises generally;in the effect of knowledge search on innovation performance, absorptive capacity plays a partial mediating effect and environmental uncertainty a positive moderating effect. Knowledge search strategies for enterprises are proposed at last.
