摘要
创新驱动发展战略深入实施过程中,组织创造力的作用日益凸显。而组织容错动态性作为提升创造力的关键要素,理论界却对其如何以及为何影响组织创造力的问题探讨不足。本文以215家456位科创企业高层管理者为调研对象,运用bootstrap等方法检验了容错动态性对组织创造力影响的过程模型。研究发现:从总体来看,容错动态性通过组织智力资本对组织创造力产生积极促进作用,而部门心理安全感加强了组织智力资本在容错动态性与组织创造力的的中介作用。从企业生命周期来看,在容错动态性与组织创造力的关系中,初创期科创企业智力资本起部分中介作用,部门心理安全感对上述关系起正向调节作用;发展期科创企业智力资本起部分中介作用,部门心理安全感则不具显著调节作用;成熟期科创企业智力资本起完全中介作用,部门心理安全感同样不具显著调节作用。本文结论进一步拓展了组织创造力研究的边界,为科创企业创造力提升提供借鉴。
Innovation is fundamental to high-quality development.In the face of a changeable,fast-paced setting marked by high uncertainty,enterprises,which are the primary agents of progress,must sustain their innovative spirit to successfully adapt to sudden turn of events.Such a fortitude stands as the keystone of implementing and advancing strategies geared towards innovation-driven development.Organizational creativity,as the foundation and at the forefront of innovation,impacts the efficacy and durability of innovation.Numerous enterprises recognize that encouraging experimentation and embracing mistakes are vital factors in fostering creativity.However,despite the theoretical community’s study of the impact of different organizational factors on creativity,including such physical elements as organizational space,relational elements,resource factors,atmosphere and culture,there remains inadequate exploration into the dynamic of playfulness,as emphasized in management practices,and its effects on organizational creativity.This situation constrains our comprehension of the mechanisms underpinning organizational creativity.Thus,this study investigates how and why the dynamic of playfulness can bolster organizational creativity.This study examines how the dynamic of playfulness impacts organizational creativity by exploring the roles of organizational intellectual capital and cross-sector psychological safety.Specifically,the dynamic of playfulness is a fault-tolerant-oriented dynamic capability.The extent to which creativity can be enabled by the dynamic of playfulness depends on the stimulation of organizational intellectual capital,which is a knowledge resource that promotes creativity.Additionally,cross-sector and cross-functional operations are widespread in science and technology innovation enterprises,and cross-sector psychological safety contributes to the collection and dissemination of knowledge within organizations,further promoting the transformation of organizational knowledge resources.Meanwhile,this study integrates enterprises’life cycle into investigating the mechanisms that impact the dynamic of playfulness.In light of the distinct phases of organizational growth,enterprises undergoing different stages display discrepancies in their systems,resources and abilities.This situation leads to varying approaches in augmenting organizational creativity.On the basis of the preceding analysis,this study seeks to use dynamic capability theory as a guiding framework and constructs a process model of the impact of the dynamic of playfulness on organizational creativity.The current research analyses the stages of organizations’life cycle whilst considering the moderating influence of cross-sector psychological safety in the process of organizational input-output benefits.Through this research,this study aims to uncover how the dynamic of playfulness affects organizational creativity by facilitating organizational intellectual capital in various life cycles.This study takes 456 senior managers of 215 science and technology innovation enterprises as the research object and uses such method as bootstrap to test the impact of the dynamic of playfulness on organizational creativity.The study obtained the following results.From an overall perspective,the dynamic of playfulness positively promotes organizational creativity by leveraging organizational intellectual capital.Furthermore,the mediating role of organizational intellectual capital between the dynamic of playfulness and organizational creativity is improved by cross-sector psychological safety.From the perspective of enterprises’life cycle,regarding early-stage science and technology innovation enterprises,organizational intellectual capital plays a partial mediating role between the dynamic of playfulness and organizational creativity,whilst cross-sector psychological safety plays a significant positive moderating role on this mediating effect.In the development stage,intellectual capital plays a partial mediating role between the dynamic of playfulness and organizational creativity,whilst cross-sector psychological safety has no significant moderating effect.In the maturity stage,organizational intellectual capital plays a complete mediating role between dynamic of playfulness and organizational creativity,whilst cross-sector psychological safety does not have a significant moderating effect as well.The theoretical contributions of this study are reflected in four aspects.1)This study broadens the understanding of the antecedents of organizational creativity in the realm of dynamic capabilities by examining the influence of the dynamic of playfulness.Consequently,research on organizational creativity is expanded.2)This research offers a perspective highlighting the influence of the dynamic of playfulness on organizational creativity from the perspective of organizational intellectual capital.The results promote a shift in the dynamic of playfulness research to focus on knowledge mechanisms rather than merely risk-taking and interactive mechanisms in creative and innovative environments.3)On the bases of the innovation characteristics of science and technology innovation enterprises,which span across departments and functions,this study examines the impact of the dynamic of playfulness on organizational creativity from the perspective of cross-sector psychological safety.It likewise expands the understanding of the relationship between the dynamic of playfulness and organizational creativity from institutional contexts to organizational climate contexts.4)By considering the enterprises’life cycle dimension,this study proposes a cyclic progression mechanism for the influence of the dynamic of playfulness on organizational creativity.This contribution leads to a considerably sophisticated and comprehensive understanding of organizational creativity.
