Network Embeddedness, Digital Capability and Innovation Quality—Based on Moderated Mediating Effect

高质量发展下，如何提升创新质量是现今面临的重要问题。基于网络嵌入视角，根据社会网络理论和权变理论，通过引入数字化能力与组织即兴，构建一个有调节的中介模型，通过实证研究深入分析网络嵌入对创新质量的影响，并探究数字化能力的中介作用与组织即兴的调节作用。研究结果表明：结构嵌入、关系嵌入对创新质量具有显著正向影响；数字化能力在结构嵌入与创新质量间，以及关系嵌入与创新质量间发挥部分中介作用；组织即兴在结构嵌入与创新质量间，以及关系嵌入与创新质量间发挥正向调节作用；组织即兴正向调节数字化能力在结构嵌入与创新质量间的中介作用，以及数字化能力在关系嵌入与创新质量间的中介作用，即组织即兴水平越高，结构嵌入、关系嵌入通过数字化能力对创新质量的正向影响越强。研究结论不仅能丰富创新质量与网络嵌入研究，并可为提升创新质量提供思路借鉴。Under high-quality development, how to improve innovation quality is an important issue nowadays. From the perspective of network embeddedness, according to social network theory and contingency theory, a moderated mediating model is constructed by introducing digital capability and organizational improvisation. The paper analyzes the impact of network embeddedness on innovation quality and explores the mediating role of digital capability and the moderating role of organizational improvisation. The results are as follows. First, structural embeddedness and relational embeddedness have significant positive effects on innovation quality. Second, digital capability plays a part mediating role between structural embeddedness and innovation quality, and also plays a part mediating role between relational embeddedness and innovation quality. Third, organizational improvisation plays a positive moderating role between structural embeddedness and innovation quality, and also plays a moderating role between relational embeddedness and innovation quality. Lastly, organizational improvisation positively moderates the mediating role of digital capability between structural embeddedness and innovation quality. And organizational improvisation also positively moderates the mediating role of digital capability between relational embeddedness and innovation quality. In other words, the higher the organizational improvisation, the stronger the positive effect of structural embeddedness and relational embeddedness on innovation quality through digital capability. The study can not only enrich the research on innovation quality and network embeddedness but also provide references for improving innovation quality.
