摘要/Abstract

摘要： 在丰富的关于组织学习能力对组织创新的文献中,往往忽视了组织遗忘对组织学习能力和组织创新的影响。本研究主要分析主动组织遗忘与组织创新之间的关系,以及组织学习能力对两者关系的中介作用。通过文献探讨构建概念模型,运用珠三角地区219家企业的有效问卷调查数据,对主动组织遗忘、组织学习能力和组织创新之间的关系进行实证研究。结果表明,主动组织遗忘对组织创新的直接效应与间接效应同时存在,组织学习能力在二者之间起着中介作用。本文的结果为组织学习能力的提高和组织创新水平的提升提供了新的路径选择,主动组织遗忘,包括忘却学习和避免恶习,对组织学习能力起着直接正向的推动作用,并且通过组织学习,主动组织遗忘能间接提高组织创新水平。

关键词: 主动组织遗忘, 组织学习能力, 组织创新

Abstract: The influence of organizational forgetting on organizational learning capability and organizational innovation is ignored based on many papers involving the relationship between organizational learning capability and organizational innovation. The relationship between intentional forgetting and organizational innovation and the mediation effect of organizational learning capability on them are placed on the centre. A conceptual model is built on the basis of papers review. By means of the effective survey data collected from 219 companies in the area of Pearl River Delta, the empirical study on the relation among intentional forgetting, organizational learning capability, and organizational innovation is conducted. The result indicates that intentional forgetting has both direct and indirect effects on organizational innovation and organizational learning capability plays a mediative role between them. The result provides a new path for improving organizational learning capability and organizational innovation level. Intentional forgetting which includes unlearning and avoidance of bad habit is able to directly facilitate organizational learning capability, and it could indirectly contribute to organizational innovation level by the mediation effect of organizational learning.

Key words: intentional forgetting, organizational learning capability, organizational innovation
