摘　　要：高管团队(Top Management Team,TMT)的外部社会资本是影响探索式创新的重要因素,但目前二者间关系的争议依然存在。本文探讨了TMT外部社会资本对探索式创新绩效的利弊之争,并分析了TMT警觉性的调节作用。结果表明,TMT外部社会资本的网络中心性和关系强度与探索式创新绩效均呈倒U型关系,TMT警觉性对探索式创新具有正向影响。此外,研究结果还揭示了TMT警觉性减少了高水平外部社会资本(网络中心性和关系强度)的负面影响,即随着TMT警觉性的增强,网络中心性和关系强度与探索式创新的曲线关系将更为陡峭,倒U型关系的负斜率更大。研究结论有助于澄清社会资本的模糊效应,揭示了TMT在战略行动中的实际心理和社会过程,体现了将高阶理论从以往广泛使用的TMT人口统计变量转向更深层次变量研究的重要性。Innovation is an important factor to guarantee success in enterprise performance.An enterprise′s competitive advantage not only lies in the development of existing technology and resources to improve efficiency,but also lies in the development of new innovation opportunities.For enterprises,exploratory innovation is a relatively large and radical innovation behavior.Exploratory innovation is an important choice,and the evolution process of enterprise exploratory innovation is constantly disturbed by products and processes,and also affected by TMT(Top Management Team)strategic decisions.The social capital of TMT dynamic capabilities drives the theoretical development of how TMT affects the level of exploratory innovation and provides new insights into why some TMT may decide to increase exploratory innovation while others may not,or even decide to reduce exploratory innovation.Social capital is a complex concept,and the relationship between external social capital and exploratory innovation may be more complex than previously described.Many scholars also recognize the possible negative effects of social capital and warn of the need to delve into its“dark side”.Therefore,it is urgent and important to clarify the exact relationship between TMT external social capital and exploratory innovation performance.TMT cognitive process affects social capital.If we do not understand TMT cognitive characteristics,we cannot evaluate the impact of social capital on exploratory innovation.TMT alertness is the cognitive ability to deal with dynamic environmental changes that a company faces through higher perception.However,TMT alertness,which emphasizes mental processes,has largely not received sufficient academic attention.Therefore,this paper attempts to explore the social and cognitive mechanism of exploratory innovation by integrating TMT cognition,social capital and innovation,which are three interrelated theoretical modules,and helps to create a complete picture of TMT external social capital′s understanding of expl
