虚拟企业关系治理机制对创新绩效的影响研究

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 关系治理是虚拟企业有序运作的前提与基础，关系到虚拟企业协同创新的质量与效率，进而影响创新绩效。基于关系治理机制视角，探究了虚拟企业间信任机制、学习机制、声誉机制在网络规模、网络结构的调节作用下通过联合行动中介对创新绩效的作用机理。以221家创新型企业作为样本进行了实证研究，结果证明了虚拟企业信任机制、学习机制、声誉机制有利于促进企业间联合解决问题的行动，进而提升创新绩效；联合行动分别在企业间信任、企业间学习、组织声誉与创新绩效之间起部分中介作用；网络规模对信任机制与联合行动有显著的负向调节效应，对企业间学习、声誉与联合行动的调节作用不显著；网络中心性对企业间信任、学习、声誉与联合行动有显著的正向调节作用；信任机制、学习机制与声誉机制三者之间存在互补效应。研究成果丰富了虚拟企业关系治理理论与创新绩效理论，具有创新实践应用价值。

Abstract: As the premise and foundation of the orderly operation of virtual enterprises, relationship governance bears on the quality and efficiency of collaborative innovation of virtual enterprises, and affects the innovation performance. Based on the perspective of relational governance mechanism, this paper explores the effect of trust mechanism, learning mechanism and reputation mechanism among virtual enterprises on innovation performance through joint action mediation under the moderating effect of network scale and network structure. An empirical study is conducted with 221 innovative enterprises as samples. The results show that the trust mechanism, learning mechanism and reputation mechanism of virtual enterprise can promote the joint problem-solving action among enterprises, and improve the innovation performance. Joint action plays a partial mediating role among inter-firm trust, inter-firm learning, organizational reputation, and innovation performance respectively. Network scale has a significant negative moderating effect on trust mechanism and joint action, but has no significant moderating effect on inter-firm learning, reputation, and joint action. Network centrality has a significant positive moderating effect on trust, learning, reputation and joint action among firms. There are complementary effects among trust mechanism, learning mechanism and reputation mechanism. The research results enrich the theory of virtual enterprise relationship governance and innovation performance theory, and have innovative practical application value.
