员工派系对个体创新的影响研究
|
Abstract:
本文在组织网络和创新理论的基础上,从工具性关系和情感性关系的角度出发,探讨了员工关系结构(派系)对个体创新的影响。通过收集上海高新技术企业技术人员(或研发人员)的问卷调查数据来进行实证研究,研究结果表明:员工工具性(知识共享)派系与个体创新呈正相关;员工情感性(友谊)派系与个体创新呈正相关;但是,当员工个体同时横跨知识共享派系和友谊派系时,其创新绩效会下降。本文对员工派系选择以及企业从员工关系管理来激发个体创新有一定的理论指导和实践意义。
This paper studies the effects of relationship structure (factions) on individual innovation based on the theory of organizational networks and innovation from the perspective of instrumental relationship and affective relationship. The empirical result of questionnaire data from technical staffs (R&D staffs) of Shanghai high-tech companies shows that both instrumental (knowledge-sharing) factions and affective (friendship) factions are positively related to individual innovation. However, the paper also indicates that when individuals stretch across knowledge-sharing and friendship factions, their innovative performance reduces. This study can be used as a reference for the employee’s faction choice and employee’s relationship management of a company to improve individual innovation.
