摘　　要：文章以2007—2020年A股上市公司为样本,将高管职业路径划分为“专一”和“多变”类型,研究不同高管职业路径对企业创新的影响。结果表明:(1)高管多变型职业路径对企业创新投入存在正向或正U型影响,而专一传统型职业路径对企业创新投入的负向影响不显著;(2)高管“多变”和“专一”职业路径都能够提升企业的原创性创新产出,且多变多元型和多变平稳型职业路径对创新产出存在非线性影响;(3)企业创新投入在“多变”职业路径与创新产出关系中发挥着中介作用;(4)进一步研究发现,国有产权性质会减弱高管“多变”职业路径对企业创新投入的积极影响,增强“多变”型职业路径对企业原创性创新产出的促进作用,但会削弱“专一”型职业路径对企业创新产出的积极作用。上述研究结果既丰富了高管职业路径对企业创新影响的文献内容,又为企业培养企业家高管、提升创新力提供了微观经验证据。Senior executives are the organizers and guides of enterprise innovation activities.What kind of senior executives are more conducive to enterprise innovation has always been a hot topic.Along with the reform and opening up,Chinese executives have diversified career paths with Chinese characteristics.Among the top50 ranking of influential business leaders published by the Chinese enterprises,only 22%of the executives who have‘always worked’in an enterprise,and the rest 78%have experienced cross-industry,cross-industry or cross-enterprise career changes.The transition from manager to leader is mostly through‘changeful’career paths.Then,will executives with different career paths affect enterprise innovation?Previous literatures on the impact of executive characteristics on innovation pay more attention to the impact of demographic characteristics,functional background or single career experience on enterprise innovation,while literatures on the multi-career experience of senior executives are relatively scarce.However,the career experience of every successful executive contains important information of cross-border migration.The cross-border nature,degree and order will cause the heterogeneity of the characteristics can help executives create their own cognitive thinking,leadership styles,entrepreneurship,also can accumulate professional experiences and social resources,which affect enterprise innovation.Therefore,based on the high-level echelon theory and knowledge-based theory,this paper studies the impact of different executive career paths on enterprise innovation from the perspective of executive career,which has high practical and theoretical significance.Taking Chinese A-share listed firms from 2007 to 2020 as samples,this paper divides executive career paths into‘single-minded’and‘Changeful-challenged’types to investigate the impact of different executive career paths on enterprise innovation.This paper distinguishes three executive‘Changeful’career paths types,introduces the concepts o
