摘要: 双元创新是企业在激烈竞争的市场环境中保持领先的关键,是企业持续发展和壮大的重要驱动力。本文以高管团队行为整合、双元创新、组织能力和批判性反思为自变量、因变量、中介变量和调节变量,以209家高新技术企业为实证研究样本,通过理论分析与实证研究,揭示了高管团队行为整合对双元创新的影响,以及组织能力的中介作用和批判性反思的调节作用。研究结果表明:高管团队行为整合对双元创新有显著的正向作用,适应能力仅在高管团队行为整合与突破性创新之间起完全中介作用,协调能力在高管团队与双元创新之间起部分中介作用。批判性反思在高管团队行为整合与双元创新之间起正向调节作用。本研究丰富了双元创新理论研究,从高管团队行为整合视角入手,探究了双元创新的可实现性。实证结果为双元创新的可实现性提供了证据支持,也为企业高管实施双元创新提供了理论指导。

Abstract: Research has shown that whether a company can achieve sustainable development mainly depends on whether it has core competitiveness, and technological innovation is seen as the most important source of organizational core competitiveness and sustained competitive advantage. However, in order to achieve good technological innovation performance, enterprises often need to implement dual innovation simultaneously. Behavioral integration, as one of the important characteristics' variables of top management team (abbreviated as TMT) has received widespread attention from the academic community. Existing research has only theoretically analyzed the positive relationship between TMT behavior integration and exploratory and applied innovation, but has not empirically tested the above relationship. The TMT team is a key group that influences technological innovation behavior and performance, and its behavior integration will inevitably play an important role in the dual innovation process. However, research by scholars on the impact of TMT behavior integration on dual innovation and the mediating and moderating variables that influence this process is very scarce. Considering that some scholars believe that the improvement of dual innovation (level) is based on organizational capability, which is inevitably influenced by TMT behavior integration, organizational capability may play a mediating role between TMT behavior integration and dual innovation. In addition, research has shown that critical reflection, as a cognitive approach that has a significant impact on employee technological innovation behavior, can have a significant impact on technological innovation behavior and corporate innovation performance. Based on this inference, critical reflection is likely to have a moderating effect on the relationship between TMT behavior integration and dual innovation. Based on the above analysis, this study will explore the relationship among TMT behavior integration, organizational ability, and dual innovation, as well as the moderating effect of critical reflection on the relationship between TMT behavior integration and dual innovation. This study enriches the research on dual innovation theory, exploring the feasibility of dual innovation from the perspective of TMT behavior integration. The empirical results provide evidence support for the feasibility of dual innovation and theoretical guidance for executives to implement high-level dual innovation activities.
Taking 209 high-tech enterprises from Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang and other regions as empirical samples, the measurement of variables such as TMT behavior integration, dual innovation, organizational ability, and critical reflection are all based on mature measurement scales. Except for the age and size of the enterprise, the research variables are collected using the Likert 7-level scale. We process the data as follows: we use enterprise age and size as control variables.After conducting reliability and validity tests on the obtained data, the relationship between variables is studied through correlation analysis and regression analysis. The results show that: TMT behavior integration has a significant positive effect on ambidextrous innovation, adaptive capacity only plays a full intermediary role between TMT behavior integration and breakthrough innovation, and coordinate ability plays a part of intermediary role between TMT behavior integration and ambidextrous innovation. Critical reflection plays a positive role in regulating the TMT behavior integration and ambidextrous innovation.
The study provides some managerial insights: (1)Enterprise managers should attach importance to TMT behavior integration. (2)Corporate executive should focus on critical reflection. (3)Enterprise executives should fully attach importance to organizational capacity building and play the intermediary role of organizational capacity. The main limitations of this study are as follows: (1)The sample selection is limited to high-tech enterprises in Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Zhejiang. Further empirical evidence is needed to determine whether the research conclusions are suitable for enterprises in other regions and industries. (2)The study only examines the mediating role of organizational capacity and the moderating role of critical reflection. Future research can examine the effects of other mediating variables (such as dynamic capacity, absorptive capacity, etc.) and moderating variables (such as environmental dynamism, environmental competitiveness, etc.). (3)The dependent variable of this study (dual innovation) is mainly expanded from two dimensions of dual innovation. Future research can consider exploring the relationship between TMT behavior integration and the overall variable of dual innovation, enriching and developing the theory of dual innovation.

Key words: TMT behavior integration, ambidextrous innovation, organizational ability, critical reflection
