摘要：

采用社会网络视角研究了学习导向与企业外部知识获取的关系,并对商业关联与政治关联如何单独和共同影响学习导向与外部知识获取关系进行了分析。采用272家企业双份调研数据(two key informants)的统计结果表明,高度的学习导向能促进企业的外部知识获取;相较于低度和高度的商业关联,适度的商业关联更有利于学习导向在知识获取过程中作用的发挥,而政治关联对此则没有显著的影响;基于三项交互的分析表明,学习导向、商业关联与政治关联的不同配置将对外部知识获取产生差异化影响。

关键词: 学习导向, 外部知识获取, 商业关联, 政治关联, 三项交互

Abstract:

Drawing on a social network perspective, this study investigates how learning orientation affects firms' knowledge acquisition from external relational networks. To understand the important role of social capital in the process of knowledge acquisition, it also examines how social ties (business and political) independently and collectively shape the linkage between learning orientation and external knowledge acquisition. Results from 272 Chinese firms suggest that learning orientation facilitates firms' knowledge acquisition from external relational networks. The contingency analysis provides evidence that firms' over-emphasis on business ties destroys the positive effect of learning orientation on knowledge acquisition. A configurational test suggests that the three-way interaction between learning orientation and different levels of business ties and political ties have distinct effects on external knowledge acquisition.

Key words: learning orientation, knowledge acquisition, business ties, political ties, three-way interaction
