Research on the Relationship between Boundary-spanning Search and Corporate Responsible Innovation—The Mediating Effect of Flexible Routine Replication and the Moderating Effect of Knowledge Field Activity
This paper discusses the relationship among boundary-spanning search(BSS),flexible routine replication(FRR),corporate responsibility innovation(CRI)and knowledge field activity(KFA).According to resource-based theory and dynamic capability theory,with flexible routine replication as mediator and knowledge field activity as moderator,structural equation model is employed to explore the mechanism of how boundary-spanning search influences corporate responsible innovation.The study finds that,firstly,boundary-spanning search has a significant positive impact on the corporate responsible innovation.Secondly,flexible routine replication positively mediates the relationship between boundary-spanning search and corporate responsible innovation.Thirdly,knowledge field liveness(KFL)has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between boundary-spanning search and corporate responsibility innovation,while knowledge field openness(KFO)has an inverted U-shaped moderating effect on the relationship between boundary-spanning search and corporate responsibility innovation.This study enriches the quantitative research of responsible innovation and provides theo-retical support and practical enlightenment for the implementation of corporate responsible innovation.
