摘要/Abstract

摘要： 当前，学科交叉融合已成为建构中国自主知识体系的一个重要趋势。那么，跨学科研究是否有助于提升学者的学术绩效？基于最优区分理论，利用中国管理研究国际化20年（2002-2021年）间16400名工商管理学者发表的37046篇国际英文管理学论文的大样本数据，实证检验了知识多样性对学者学术绩效的影响。研究发现：（1）知识丰富度，通过创新性机制，提升发文数和论文被引数；（2）知识差异度，通过创新性与合法性双重机制，分别对发文数、论文被引数产生倒“U”型影响；（3）兼顾知识丰富度和知识差异度不利于提升发文数，但能协同提升论文被引数。研究在一定程度上打开了知识多样性对学者学术绩效影响的黑箱，进一步发展了最优区分理论。研究结论对于学者如何开展跨学科研究、有关部门如何建设交叉学科均有一定的启示意义。

Abstract: At present, interdisciplinary research has become an important trend in building the management theory system of China. We wonder, therefore, whether management scholars will engage in interdisciplinarity research? Based on the optimal distinctiveness theory, utilizing a large sample of 37,046 international management papers from 16,400 Chinese management scholars during 20 years (2002-2021) of the internationalization of Chinese management research, this study empirically examined the impact of scholars′ knowledge diversification on their academic performance. We found that, knowledge diversification has a positive effect on academic performance through the innovation mechanism, and that knowledge dissimilarity plays positive and negative roles through both innovation and legitimacy mechanism, eliciting an inverted U-shaped effect. In addition, we analyzed the intertwined effects of the two, finding that combining both knowledge diversification and dissimilarity is not conducive to boosting the publication counts, but it can synergistically contribute to the citation counts. The study has unveiled the black box of how scholars′ knowledge diversification affects their academic performance, and therefore advanced the optimal distinctiveness theory. The research findings will have important implications for scholars on how to engage in interdisciplinary research and will also provide insights for policy-makers on establishing interdisciplinary fields.

Key words: diversification of knowledge, academic performance, optimal distinctiveness, interdisciplinary research
