發明人流動與組織創新績效的關聯性

本研究檢視發明人流入比重對於公司未來創新績效的影響，並進一步區分水平流入與垂直流入發明人比重對於公司未來創新績效的影響，是否有所不同。更重要地，本研究檢視公司規模對於發明人流入比重與公司未來創新績效間關係，是否存在調節效果。本研究使用1996年到2004年共29家半導體公司做為研究樣本。研究結果顯示，流入發明人的比重愈高，公司遞延四年後的專利績效愈差。此外，水平及垂直流入的發明人比重愈高，公司遞延四年後的專利績效愈差。最後，相較於大公司，小公司之水平流入發明人的比重愈高，公司未來的創新績效愈差。而相較於大公司，小公司之垂直流入發明人的比重愈高，公司未來的創新績效愈好。

This study examines the association between inventor inflows and firm innovation performance, and distinguishes the impacts of vertical inflows of inventors and those of horizontal inflows of inventors. More importantly, this study examines the moderating effects of firm size on the relationship between inventor inflows and firm innovation performance. This study uses 29 semiconductor firms from 1996 to 2004 as research sample. The empirical results of this study show that there is a negative association between inventor inflows in current year and patent quantity in the lagged fourth-year. Besides, there is a negative association between vertical/horizontal inflows of inventors in current year and patent quantity in the lagged fourth-year. Finally, the firm size positively moderates the relationship between horizontal inflows of inventors in current year and patent quantity in the lagged fourth-year, while the firm size negatively moderates the relationship between vertical inflows of inventors in current year and patent quantity in the lagged fourth-year.
