摘要
获取外部信息被认为是实现组织灵活性（OA）的关键，但由于中小企业的资源有限，获取外部信息对它们来说也是一项特殊的挑战。然而，对于中小型企业如何在特定的组织实践中从外部信息寻求活动中获得最佳收益以实现组织灵活性（OA），人们知之甚少。本文针对这一研究空白，分析了外部信息寻求（即环境扫描和外部管理网络）对企业开放式办公的影响，同时考虑了中小企业授权氛围的调节作用。基于对 1439 家法国制造业中小型企业首席执行官进行的调查，我们的主要结果表明，授权氛围可以正向调节扫描广度对 OA 的影响，但会负向调节网络深度的影响。这表明，中小企业应重视与其授权氛围水平相适应的外部信息搜索活动，这样才能充分实现对开放式办公的积极影响。
External information seeking and organizational ambidexterity in SMEs: Does empowerment climate matter?
Access to external information is considered crucial to achieving organizational ambidexterity (OA) while presenting specific challenges for SMEs due to their limited resources. However, little is known about how SMEs can best benefit from their external information-seeking activities for OA purposes, given specific organizational practices. Our paper addresses this research gap by analyzing the effects of external information seeking (i.e., environmental scanning and external managerial networking) on OA while considering the moderating role of empowerment climate in SMEs. Based on a survey administered to CEOs of 1439 French manufacturing SMEs, our main results indicate that empowerment climate positively moderates the effect of scanning breadth on OA but negatively moderates the effect of networking depth. This suggests that SMEs should emphasize external information-seeking activities that are appropriate to their level of empowerment climate so that the positive effects on OA can be fully realized.
