Encouraging enterprises to expand R&D investment is highly significant for enhancing national innovation capabilities.It utilized the data from the Chinese employer-employee matching survey to investigate the impact of flexible employment mode on the R&D investment intensity of enterprises from the perspective of employment pattern.The findings are as follows:the flexible employment model has an inhibitory effect on the R&D investment intensity of enterprises;from the perspective of labor factor allocation,the decline in the level of human capital in enterprises is an important mechanism that suppresses the R&D investment intensity of enterprises by adopting flexible employment mode;expanding the scale of enterprises and enhancing the labor protection effect of enterprise trade unions weaken the inhibitory effect of flexible employment mode on the R&D investment intensity of enterprises.The findings not only help to deepen the understanding of the relationship between employment pattern and corporate innovation,but also provide empirical references for the decision-making theory of innovative R&D investment as well as for optimizing the implementation path of the innovation-driven development strategy.
