Abstract

Strategic learning self-efficacy reflects the confidence of managers in their ability to learn from the outcomes of past strategic decisions and apply that knowledge to new decisions. This research examines the relationship between strategic learning self-efficacy and a firm's industry-adjusted sales growth rate and specifies strategic decision-making style (ranging from autocratic to participative) and environmental dynamism (ranging from stable to dynamic) as contingency factors that affect this relationship. Primary and secondary data collected from 101 manufacturing firms were used to test hypothesized relationships. Results indicate that strategic learning self-efficacy is not significantly related to firm growth as a main effect. However, strategic decision-making style and environmental dynamism were both found to negatively moderate the relationship between strategic learning self-efficacy and firm growth. Moreover, strategic learning self-efficacy, strategic decision-making style, and environmental dynamism were found to have a three-way interactive effect on firm growth. Thus, dimensions of the learning context strongly influence the degree to which strategic learning self-efficacy is associated with firm growth.

战略学习自我效能感、战略决策风格和环境对企业成长的影响

战略学习自我效能感反映了管理者对自己从过去战略决策的结果中学习并将这些知识应用于新决策的能力的信心。本研究考察了战略学习自我效能感与企业经行业调整后的销售增长率之间的关系，并指出战略决策风格（从专制到参与）和环境动态性（从稳定到动态）是影响这种关系的偶然性因素。从101家制造企业收集的第一手和二手数据被用来检验假设的关系。结果表明，战略学习自我效能感对企业成长的主要影响不显著。战略决策风格和环境动态性对战略学习自我效能感与企业成长的关系均有负向调节作用。此外，战略学习自我效能感、战略决策风格和环境动态性对企业成长具有三方交互作用。因此，学习情境的维度强烈影响战略学习自我效能感与企业成长的关联程度。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Innovation and Knowledge (JIK) explores how innovation drives knowledge creation and vice versa, emphasizing that not all innovation leads to knowledge, but enduring innovation across diverse fields fosters theory and knowledge. JIK invites papers on innovations enhancing or generating knowledge, covering innovation processes, structures, outcomes, and behaviors at various levels. Articles in JIK examine knowledge-related changes promoting innovation for societal best practices. JIK serves as a platform for high-quality studies undergoing double-blind peer review, ensuring global dissemination to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers who recognize innovation and knowledge as economic drivers. It publishes theoretical articles, empirical studies, case studies, reviews, and other content, addressing current trends and emerging topics in innovation and knowledge. The journal welcomes suggestions for special issues and encourages articles to showcase contextual differences and lessons for a broad audience. In essence, JIK is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing theoretical and practical innovations and knowledge across multiple fields, including Economics, Business and Management, Engineering, Science, and Education.
