As an effective cognitive and behavioral strategy, coping helps to overcome negative events. Although coping and its effects have been widely studied in psychology, little is known about the combination of entrepreneurs' coping and its connection with firms' innovation ambidexterity. To fill these gaps, in this study, the authors collected 106 samples through two serial-wave surveys of the Bohai Economic Rim in China and tested the theoretical hypotheses using polynomial regression with response surface analysis. The results showed that alignment coping combination enhanced innovation ambidexterity by reshaping an entrepreneur's cognitive structure. Misalignment coping combination was found to enhance innovation ambidexterity by eliciting an entrepreneur's different types of information processing systems. This study contributes to the literatures of coping, innovation ambidexterity, and upper echelons theory from the entrepreneurial cognition approach.
作为一种有效的认知和行为策略，应对有助于克服负面事件。尽管应对及其影响在心理学中已得到广泛研究，但对于企业家的应对方式组合及其与企业创新二元性之间的联系却知之甚少。为了填补这些空白，在本研究中，作者通过对中国环渤海经济圈进行的两次连续波调查收集了106个样本，并使用带有响应面分析的多项式回归对理论假设进行了检验。结果表明，一致性应对组合通过重塑企业家的认知结构来增强创新二元性。研究发现，不一致性应对组合通过引发企业家不同类型的信息处理系统来增强创新二元性。本研究从创业认知视角为应对、创新二元性和高层梯队理论的文献做出了贡献。
