基于已有研究总结提炼的社会分类范式和信息利用范式以及8 296个设计类网络创新竞赛数据,本文实证检验了参与者的国别多样性、技能种类多样性与竞赛绩效均存在倒U形关系。此外,基于参与者多样性对竞赛绩效或正或负的影响,提出并验证了“平行路径”和“帮助学习”在参与者多样性对竞赛绩效影响中发挥部分中介作用。本文在理论上丰富并深化了个体多样性研究,将之从基于传统组织架构拓展到网络创新竞赛领域;结论可为网络创新竞赛平台管理者和竞赛组织者提供管理启示。 |

Abstract: |
Studies on the effect of individual diversity on organization performance have gained much attention. However, it is not clear whether the insights derived from those studies can be directly applied in the settings of online innovation contests. Based on social categorization perspective and information/decision-making perspective aggregated from former literature, and behavioral data of 8 296 online innovation contests, it proposed and verified the inverted U-shape relationship between solvers’ country diversity and skill profile diversity and the contest performance. Additionally, following the positive or negative effects of diversity on contest performance, it proposed and tested that both “parallel path ” and “aiding learning” partly mediate the effect of diversity on the contest performance. The focal research contributes to a more comprehensive and deep understanding about the effect of diversity, and extends the research area from traditional organizations to online innovation contests. The significant effects in the focal research provide organizers of contest platforms or seekers of innovation contests a key managerial insight: there is an optimal level of solver diversity for contest performance, that is, too much is as bad as too little. |
