Abstract

Abstract

Corporate digital responsibility constitutes an important research topic concerning organizational social activities in the era of digital intelligence. The influence mechanisms of symbolic and substantive corporate digital responsibility on employees' innovation performance remain to be thoroughly explored. Based on social identity theory and cue consistency theory, this paper conducts an empirical analysis on survey data collected from 436 employees of technology-based enterprises. A moderated mediation model is constructed to investigate the impact mechanism of corporate digital responsibility perception on employees' digital-intelligent innovation performance. The empirical results show that symbolic and substantive conception of corporate digital responsibility and corporate digital responsibility exert divergent effects on employees' digital-intelligent innovation performance: the former generates a negative effect, while the latter a positive one. Affective commitment serves as a partial mediator in this relationship. Knowledge integration capability not only moderates the linkage between corporate digital responsibility conception and affective commitment, but also indirectly influences digital-intelligent innovation performance via affective commitment. This study expands and enriches the theoretical boundary of corporate digital responsibility, uncovers the consequences of employees' differentiated perceptions of corporate digital responsibility, and offers practical management references for firms to effectively undertake digital responsibility and motivate employees' digital-intelligent innovation.
