Abstract

The present research aims at examining the overall impacts of innovation on corporate performance through the lens of the social responsibility perspective. For this purpose, 184 complete questionnaires were obtained from 250 managers of manufacturing companies located in the Rasht Industrial city during 2019–2020. Gathered data were subject to a SEM (Structural Equation Modelling) analysis, via SPSS (version 22) and LISREL (version 8.8) softwares. Conclusive findings support that innovation has a positive moderate effect on social responsibility and a strong influence on corporate performance. On the other hand, both economic and social dimensions of social responsibility have meaningful and moderate impacts on Rasht industrial enterprises’ performance. Moreover, innovation practices play an important role in improving the influence of social responsibility dimensions on corporate performance of those companies. Based on the results attained, it would be recommended that innovative manufacturing organisms engage more in CSR activities to upgrade their organisational performance.

创新对制造业企业绩效的影响:哪些角色与社会责任相关?

摘要本研究旨在通过社会责任视角考察创新对企业绩效的整体影响。为此，在2019-2020年期间，从位于拉什特工业城的250家制造公司的管理人员中获得了184份完整的问卷。收集的数据通过SPSS (version 22)和LISREL (version 8.8)软件进行SEM (Structural Equation modeling)分析。研究结果表明，创新对企业社会责任有正向调节作用，对企业绩效有较强的影响。另一方面，社会责任的经济维度和社会维度对拉什特工业企业绩效都有显著且适度的影响。此外，创新实践在改善社会责任维度对企业绩效的影响方面发挥了重要作用。基于所获得的结果，建议创新型制造企业更多地参与企业社会责任活动，以提升其组织绩效。
