Abstract: In the context of public concerns about ethical issues in innovation, how to drive enterprises' responsible innovation to promote sustainable and high-quality development has become a common concern in academic and practical circles. Based on social capital theory and resource orchestration theory, this study explored the impact of managerial ties on enterprises' responsible innovation, and constructed a moderated mediation model. Using survey data of 309 technology-based enterprises and applying regression analysis and Bootstrap method, the empirical test found that: Both business ties and political ties have a positive impact on enterprises' responsible innovation; resource orchestration partially mediates the impact of business ties and political ties on enterprises' responsible innovation; long-term orientation of top manager positively moderates the relationship between resource orchestration and enterprises' responsible innovation, and positively moderates the mediating effect of business ties and political ties on enterprises' responsible innovation through resource orchestration. The findings expands the research on the antecedent of enterprises' responsible innovation, reveals the path and boundary conditions through which managerial ties affect enterprises' responsible innovation, and provides a theoretical basis for managing enterprises' responsible innovation practices.
