摘　　要：家乡是个人成长的起点,在个人生存发展、情感构建及决策中都具有重大意义。对于公司高管而言,其决策行为也无法摆脱来自家乡的影响。基于2007—2018年沪深A股上市公司高管家乡及公司注册地数据,本文探究了高管家乡认同对公司创新的影响及内在机制。研究发现,高管家乡认同能显著促进公司创新,且家乡认同程度越高,公司的专利申请和专利授予数也越高。基于社会认同理论,高管家乡认同对公司创新的促进作用主要源于家乡认同下高管的家乡回报动机和信息资源优势。在此基础上,本文分别从宗族文化和政治关联的视角探讨了家乡认同与公司创新关系的调节效应。研究表明,浓厚的高管籍贯地宗族文化和较高的公司政治关联水平都能显著促进高管家乡认同对公司创新的提升效应。本研究不仅拓展了高管家乡认同这一非正式制度对于公司决策行为的研究范畴,而且从微观层面丰富了非正式制度对公司创新的影响及理论机制,为公司高管选聘与地区创新水平提升提供了更具针对性的科学依据。Hometowns are the origin and destination of a person.In traditional Chinese culture,the hometown has always been regarded as the root of a person.“Return to your hometown with prosperity,”“Return to your hometown with honor,”and“Return to your roots”all incisively and vividly depict the individual′s emotional attachment to the hometown,explaining the unique status of the hometown in the heart of the individual.According to social identity theory,hometown identity refers to an individual identifying with his hometown circle through the social classification of the hometown and simultaneously realizing the emotion and value given to him or her as a member of the hometown group.Existing studies show that when executives have a hometown identity,they improve the environmental governance level and environmental performance of the corporation,increase investment in the hometown,and at the same time help reduce the agency cost of the corporation and short-sighted decisions.There is no doubt that innovation plays the most decisive role in the development of corporations to maintain a long-term competitive advantage.As executives are the core of corporate innovation decision-makers and practitioners,their hometown identity is undoubtedly very important to the innovation-related decision-making of listed companies,regardless of the executives′perception of the importance of innovation or their emotional attachment to their hometown.However,few studies currently focus on this.Therefore,based on the existing relevant research,we focus on the effects of the hometown identity of executives on corporate innovation and its internal mechanisms.This paper mainly contains the following two parts.In the first part,based on the theory of social identity,we analyze and discuss the internal mechanisms of hometown identity on corporate innovation from two aspects:hometown identity executives′emotional attachment to the hometown and information and resource advantage.On the one hand,from the perspective of environmental
