治理机制是网络组织有序运作的前提与基础,它直接关系到网络组织的运行质量和协同效应的充分发挥,最终决定着治理绩效。已有大量研究侧重于从网络结构的视角探讨创业网络的结构特征与新企业绩效的直接因果关系,较少关注网络治理对新企业绩效的影响。事实上,如何管理创业网络而不是网络具有什么结构更可能影响新企业绩效。本文从创业网络治理机制与新企业绩效的直接作用关系以及关系强度、网络规模对这一关系的调节作用两方面入手进行实证研究。研究发现:学习机制会对新企业绩效产生积极影响,而关系强度能够正向调节学习机制与新企业绩效之间的关系。此外,尽管契约机制与信任机制未能对新企业绩效产生影响,但其交互作用却会影响新企业绩效,这意味着包含契约与信任的"混合治理机制"而非二者的独立作用更能够揭示新企业绩效的差异。
Governance plays a fundamental role in operation of network organizations,which is connected with their operational quality and synergy effect.Existing researches have proved that there is direct relationship between network structure and new venture performance.But few of them have paid attention to the influence of governance.In fact,it is network management not the structure that matters to new venture performance.This paper tests the main effect of governance mechanism and new venture performance,and the moderating effect of tie strength and network scale.It shows that learning has positive effect on new venture performance and tie strength can moderate this relationship.Although contract and trust do not have positive effect on new venture performance statistically,their interaction may have the influence.That means the mixing governance mechanism that contains contract and trust can explain the difference of new venture performance,not their individual effect.
