针对"新创企业搜索时机是否影响创新绩效"这一问题,基于组织搜索、即兴能力和注意力基础观等相关理论,按照"知识战略—内部能力—绩效结果"的理论范式,探索性地构建以即兴能力为中介变量和管理注意力为调节变量的搜索时机对创新绩效影响的概念模型.基于215个企业样本数据的实证检验发现:领先搜索与跟随搜索对创新绩效均有显著正向影响;即兴能力在领先搜索和跟随搜索与创新绩效的关系中起部分中介作用;内部注意力负向调节领先搜索与即兴能力的关系,正向调节跟随搜索对即兴能力的影响,而外部注意力对上述关系均有积极调节作用;外部注意力增强即兴能力与创新绩效的关系.
How does search timing of new ventures influence innovation performance? Drawing on organizational search theory,organizational improvisation theory and attention based view,it explored a model that links search timing to innovation performance based on the configuration of "knowledge strategy—internal capability—performance result",using improvisation ability as a mediator and managerial attention as a moderator. With data of 215 new ventures to test hypotheses,the results indicate that: both leading search and following search have positive effects on innovation performance; the effects of search timing on innovation performance are partially mediated by improvisation ability; inside attention weakens the relationship between leading search and innovation performance,and strengthens the effect of following search on innovation performance,while outside attention has positive moderating effects on the relationship between search timing and innovation performance; outside attention strengthens the relationship between improvisation ability and innovation performance.
