摘要: 跨界流动使得高管职业路径呈现多变性,有助于提升高管个人特质和职业胜任力,实现高管个人目标和职业成功,然而高管多变职业路径对组织创新有何影响,目前尚未明晰。本文以2007—2020年A股上市公司为样本,根据手工收集的高管职业跨界轨迹数据,区分了高管多变职业路径的“多变挑战型”和“多变平稳型”两种类型,研究高管多变职业路径对企业创新投入的影响。研究表明:与专一传统型职业路径相比,高管多变职业路径更能够促进企业创新投入,其中高管多变挑战型和多变平稳型职业路径与企业创新投入均存在正向关系。区分产权性质后发现,企业的国有属性会削弱高管多变职业路径尤其是“多变挑战型”职业路径对创新投入的促进作用。进一步研究发现,冒险精神与创业精神在高管多变职业路径与企业创新投入的正向关系中起到了中介作用。上述研究结论为高管多变职业路径对企业创新投入的影响提供了新证据,也为引导企业从职业发展角度培养创新型企业家及其创新特质提供了微观经验证据。

Abstract: Cross-border mobility promotes the diversity of senior executives’ career paths, which helps to enhance their personal characteristics and professional competence, and achieve their personal goals and career success. However, the impact of executive changeable career paths on organizational innovation investment is still unclear. Taking Chinese A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2020 as samples, this paper distinguishes executive changeable career paths into changeable-challenging type and changeable-stable type according to the manual data of executives’ cross-border career track, and investigates the impact of executive changeable career paths on innovation investment. The results show that, compared with the single-minded career path, the executive changeable career paths is more conducive to enterprise innovation investment, and both executives’ changeable-challenging career path and changeable-stable career path have a positive relationship with enterprise innovation investment. Seen from the viewpoint of ownership, state-ownship attribute weakens the promoting effect of executive changeable career paths, especially changeable-challenging career path, on innovation investment. Further research shows that risk-taking spirit and entrepreneurship play a mediating role in the relationship between senior executives’ changeable career paths and enterprise innovation investment. The above research conclusions provide new evidence for the impact of executives’ diversified career paths on enterprise innovation investment, and also provide micro-empirical evidence for guiding enterprises to cultivate innovative entrepreneurs and their innovative characteristics.

Key words: enterprise innovation investment, executive changeable career paths, changeable-challenging career path, changeable-stable career path
