失败容忍对制造企业组织敏捷性的影响机制分析——基于机会识别的中介作用

Mechanisms of Failure-Tolerant Cultures and Organizational Agility in Manufacturing Firms: Based on the Mediating Role of Opportunity Identification

摘要:

为揭示失败容忍文化对制造企业组织敏捷性的影响机制。基于组织设计理论，挖掘制造企业机会识别提升的前因变量，同时考虑政策扶持的权变影响，探究失败容忍文化对制造企业组织敏捷性的影响及其作用机制，并利用来自广东的206家制造企业的问卷调查数据检验了研究假设。研究发现：失败容忍对机会识别具有显著的促进作用；高水平政策扶持会增强失败容忍与机会识别之间的关系；机会识别对运营敏捷性和市场敏捷性均具有显著的促进作用；机会识别在失败容忍与运营敏捷性和市场敏捷性之间起中介作用。因此，制造企业应重视失败容忍文化的培育，关注政府对企业主导行业的支持程度，并充分发挥机会识别在提升运营和市场敏捷性方面的重要作用。

Abstract:

To reveal how failure-tolerant cultures affect manufacturing firms’ organizational agility. Drawing on organizational design theory, this study investigates the antecedents of opportunity identification, the contingency effects of policy support, and the mechanism between failure-tolerant cultures and organizational agility. Survey data from 206 manufacturing firms in Guangdong province shows that failure-tolerant cultures have positive effects on opportunity identification. Policy supports positively moderate failure-tolerant cultures effects on opportunity identification. Opportunity identification has positive effects on both operational adjustment and market capitalizing agility. Opportunity identification mediates the effects of failure-tolerant cultures on both operational adjustment and market capitalizing agility. Consequently, manufacturing firms should strive to cultivate failure-tolerant cultures, keep an eye on policy support in their dominant industry, and make full use of the positive effects of opportunity identification on both operational adjustment and market capitalization agility.
