This paper develops and tests a model that highlights the roles of improvisation and absorptive capacity as important mediating mechanisms through which entrepreneurial orientation (EO) influences new venture performance. Furthermore, we examine the interactive effect of improvisation and absorptive capacity on new venture performance. The results show that (a) improvisation and absorptive capacity both mediate the relationship between EO and new venture performance; (b) the interaction between improvisation and absorptive capacity is positively related to new venture performance; (c) improvisation moderates the indirect relationship between EO and new venture performance via absorptive capacity; and (d) absorptive capacity moderates the mediation of improvisation in the relationship between EO and new venture performance. With these findings, this paper provides insights into how different learning modes can enhance the EO-performance relationship.
本文提出并检验了一个模型，该模型强调了即兴发挥和吸收能力的作用，它们是创业导向（EO）影响新企业绩效的重要中介机制。此外，我们还考察了即兴发挥和吸收能力对新企业绩效的交互影响。结果表明：（a）即兴发挥和吸收能力都在创业导向与新企业绩效之间起中介作用；（b）即兴发挥和吸收能力的相互作用与新企业绩效呈正相关；（c）即兴发挥通过吸收能力调节创业导向与新企业绩效之间的间接关系；（d）吸收能力调节了创业导向与新企业绩效之间即兴发挥的中介作用。通过这些发现，本文深入了解了不同的学习模式如何增强创业导向与绩效之间的关系。
