摘　　要：既有研究表明面临资源短缺的中小企业能够通过资源拼凑实现创新,然而其并未揭示资源拼凑促进创新的作用过程和机制。基于组织学习理论的视角,本文构建了智力资本(人力资本、组织资本、社会资本)在资源拼凑到创新过程中的中介模型,并基于珠三角地区200家中小企业的数据进行了检验。研究结果表明智力资本部分中介了资源拼凑到创新的关系:资源拼凑在直接促进创新的同时,也间接通过提升企业的智力资本促进创新。在理论上,本研究揭示了资源拼凑对创新的作用过程和机理,弥补了已有研究的不足;在实践上,本研究为面临资源短缺的中小企业如何克服资源短缺,提升智力资本,进而推动创新提供了重要参考。Small and medium enterprises(SMEs)play an important role in economic growth,employment and innovation.However,most SMEs are difficult to raise enough capital,recruit skilled labors and attract other resources.Scholars have observed that some SMEs still innovate successfully under severe resource constraints.Why some SMEs under severe resource constraints innovate successfully?Bricolage theory provides one of feasible explanations.Bricolage refers to u making do by applying combinations of the resources at hand to new problems and opportunities".The existing studies have shown that SMEs can promote innovation through resource bricolage.Nevertheless,the process and mechanism that resource bricolage enhances innovation are still ambiguous.From the perspective of organizational learning,this paper constructs a model that intellectual capital(human capital,organizational capital and social capital)partially mediates the relationship between resource bricolage and innovation.Resource bricolage directly contributes to innovation by transforming see mi ngly useless resources to useful resources.Resource bricolage can also improve human capital,organizational capital and social capital.Intellectual capital that improved by resource bricolage can also lead to innovation.Because the direct effect of resource bricolage on innovation has been studied extensively,this paper mainly focuses on the mediating effect of intellectual capital.Human capital means knowledge like experience and skills embedded in employees.When facing resource constraints,bricoleurs do not passively wait for standard resources or give up,but act immediately to find workable solutions through trial and error.They need to excavate new value from existing resources.In this process,employees deepen their understanding of resources and opportunities,and their skills will be trained and improved accordingly.Resource bricolage emphasizes the combination of knowledge in varied fields,which can produce more complex knowledge.Based on above analysis,we hypothesiz
