动态环境下组织双元学习及其互补性对企业可持续发展绩效的影响研究:持续创新能力的中介作用

The Influence of Organization Ambidextrous Learning and Its Complementarity on the Sustainable Development Performance of Enterprises in Dynamic Environment: the mediating role of continuous innovation capability

摘要:

组织学习是企业持续创新能力的重要前因变量，持续创新能力是企业可持续发展的基础。探索企业双元学习（探索性学习和利用性学习）与可持续发展绩效之间的关系，基于组织学习理论、持续创新能力理论、可持续发展绩效理论、协同理论和权变理论，探究动态环境下双元学习及其互补性对企业可持续发展绩效的影响，以及持续创新能力在该影响中的中介作用。对来自江苏和河南的179份企业调查问卷所做的实证研究结果表明：双元学习及其互补性正向影响持续创新能力，持续创新能力正向影响可持续发展绩效；持续创新能力在双元学习及其互补性对可持续发展绩效的影响中均起到部分中介作用，环境动态性既负向调节探索性学习和持续创新能力之间的关系，也负向调节持续创新能力和可持续发展绩效之间的关系。研究得到的管理启示为：企业必须双元学习“双管齐下”才能获得良好的持续创新能力和可持续发展绩效，重视提高持续创新能力，且在高环境动态性下更应该注重双元学习互补性对于可持续创新能力提升的作用。

Abstract:

Organizational learning is an important antecedent variable of a firm's continuous innovation capability, and continuous innovation capability is the basis for sustainable development. To explore the relationship between corporate ambidextrous learning (exploratory learning and exploitative learning) and sustainable development performance, based on organizational learning theory, continuous innovation capability theory, sustainable development performance theory, synergy theory and contingency theory, we investigate the impact of ambidextrous learning and its complementarity on corporate sustainable development performance in a dynamic environment, and the mediating role of continuous innovation capability in this impact. The results of the empirical study conducted on 179 questionnaires from Jiangsu and Henan enterprises show that ambidextrous learning and its complementarity positively influence continuous innovation capability, and continuous innovation capability positively influences sustainable development performance; continuous innovation capability plays a partial mediating role in the influence of ambidextrous learning and its complementarity on sustainable development performance. Environmental dynamism negatively moderates the relationship between exploratory learning and continuous innovation, and also negatively moderates the relationship between continuous innovation and sustainable development performance. The managerial implications of the study indicate that companies must adopt a “two-pronged” approach of ambidextrous learning in order to achieve good continuous innovation capability and sustainable development performance, and pay attention to the improvement of continuous innovation capability and the role of ambidextrous learning complementarity for continuous innovation capability under high environmental dynamism.
