組織創新影響因素之研究----命題之建立與實證研究 Determinants factors in organizational innovation —propositions and empirical study 莊立民 致遠管理學院 企業管理學系 助理教授兼系主任 廖曜生 國立屏東商業技術學院 企業管理系助理教授 摘要 創新的研究領域非常寬廣，創新可以從許多不同的觀點來加以研究，過去的學者為了瞭解組織採用創新的行為與創新的決定因素，常將創新加以分類，過去關於創新分類的文獻，主要以三種分類最受矚目，且每一類均有兩種相對的類型，分別是：管理與技術創新；產品與製程創新；跳躍式與漸進式創新，管理與技術創新在這些分類上特別具有意義，因為這是一種較一般，且能涵蓋社會結構因素與技術的分類法。過去的研究者常將研究取向分為三類，分別是：「創新的擴散」、「組織的創新能力」與「歷程理論」之研究取向，然而過去的研究卻未能提供清楚的步驟、方法及衡量量表來衡量組織創新，此外，不同的產業其衡量所強調的活動也有所差異，在國內相關的研究仍不多見。基於上述理由，本研究推論出有助於後續理論與實證研究之相關命題並進行實證研究，關於相關的研究課題，本文亦提出具體建議。關鍵詞：創新、組織創新、組織創新影響因素、高科技企業Abstract The field of innovation is very broad. Innovation has been conceptualized in many ways and studied from several perspectives. Past research has argued that distinguishing types of innovation is necessary for understanding organizations’ adoption behavior and identifying the determinants of innovation in them. Among numerous typologies of innovation advanced in the relevant literature, three have gained the most attention. Each centers on a pair of types of innovation: administrative and technical, product and process, and radical and incremental. The distinction between administrative and technical innovations is important because it relates to a more general distinction between social structure and technology. Although authors have made distinctions among studies of the “diffusion of innovation”,” organizational innovativeness” and “process theory research”, no clear steps or methods for using the inventory effectively have been provided, nor has a set of accepted standards been made available by which the organizational innovation can be measured. Additionally, the emphases found in organizational innovation activities in various industries are different. Moreover, there are still few related researches in our country. It is for these reasons that the proposed study will design a conceptual model, suitable for use by high-tech enterprises in Taiwan, to measure the organizational innovation. Furthermore, this paper
