| How to achieve innovative ambidexterity has been a big problem which catches the eyes of theorists and Practitioners in the period of China's economic restructuring,In fact,enterprises have been facing many problems in their practice of innovation.Many enterprises are easy to fall into a single form of innovation activities in their practices.They either focus on R&D and new ideas,but ignore transferring these high-cost knowledge results from exploring into the products to the market effectively and timely,or focus on the introduction and imitation of external new technologies,and rapidly transfer them into the products to the market,but ignore exploring new technologies and ideas of their own.Falling into a single form of innovation activities cause imbalance,which further cause the lack of competitiveness on the current or in the future.Taking the initiative to simultaneously taking care of the exploratory activities and exploitative activities in the process of innovation and promoting the balance between the two kinds of innovation,is very important for enterprises to maintain long-term competitive advantage.In academia,leadership behaviors have always been considered to be one of the key factors in stimulating organizational innovation activities.Senior leaders can influence the innovative behaviors of the members either through strategic development,institutional design,process design,incentive measures,or through personal charisma,culture,encouragement and other soft ways.In recent years,with the in-depth study of leadership behavior,Scholars are more and more aware of the necessity for leaders to change their single form of leadership behavior when facing the complex and dynamic external environment.Taking the initiative to implementing ambidextrous leadership behavior can better adapt to the changes and requirements of environment and strategy,and is very important for increasingly complex innovation management,but the relation of ambidextrous leadership and innovative ambidexterity,as well as the Influence mechanism,have not been explored and tested deeply.Based on the current studies of innovative ambidexterity,we try to test whether senior leaders' ambidextrous leadership behavior can promote the ambidextrous organizational culture,and finally promote the level of innovative ambidexterity through ambidextrous organizational culture.We also test the moderating effect of the dynamic environment.The results indicate that(1)senior leaders' ambidextrous leadership behavior have positive effects on innovative ambidexterity;(2)ambidextrous organizational culture have positive effects on innovative ambidexterity;(3)senior leaders' ambidextrous leadership behavior have positive effects on ambidextrous organizational culture;(4)ambidextrous organizational culture have partial mediating effect on the relation between senior leaders' ambidextrous leadership behavior and innovative ambidexterity;(5)dynamic environment have positive moderating effect on the relation between senior leaders' ambidextrous leadership behavior and ambidextrous organizational culture,but not significant moderating effect on the relation between senior leaders' ambidextrous leadership behavior and innovative ambidexterity.There are two innovation in the paper.One is introducing the ambidextrous thinking into the cause of innovation ambidexterity.The other is making up for deficiencies of the mediation mechanism.In addition,the only collected 219 samples cause limitations in quantity.In the future,the sample size should be larger so as to improve the quality of the study. |
