创业网络关系嵌入对新创企业成长关系研究 ——创业学习的中介作用

Research on the Relationship between the Relational Embeddedness of Entrepreneurial Network and the Growth of New Ventures --- Mediating Role of Entrepreneurial Learning

摘要:

社会网络关系为创业者习得储备知识和创业经验提供了大量资料来源，对新创企业的发展有着直接或间接影响，而知识获取来源、方式的各异也对企业成长绩效存在一定影响，故本研究沿袭社会网络中的逻辑思路，从向谁学、怎么学、学习结果如何层层递进关系中构建创业网络关系强度和信任、创业学习与新企业成长的关系模型，并分别就创业认知学习、创业体验学习和创业实践学习的中介效应做出探讨。据此，本文收集656份新创企业问卷数据，对理论假设采用结构方程模型进行实证检验。研究结果表明：（1）创业网络关系强度正向影响新创企业绩效；（2）网路关系的强度和网络信任影响着创业者对获取知识不同途径的选择；（3）创业认知学习、经验学习、实践学习三种学习方式，在创业网络关系嵌入与创业成长的关系中发挥部分中介作用，尤其创业经验对新创企业成长绩效有显著影响。
