The relationships among the market orientation, organizational learning, organizational innovations, and organizational performance¡XThe empirical examination for Information Technology Industry in Scientific Industry Park

¡§Market orientation will improve performance¡¨, this issue has been discussed over 30 years. Most of scholars think market orientation is the core of modern marketing management and strategy. However, there are numerous empirical studies that have examined the association between market orientation and organizational performance. Many studies have found a positive association between market orientation and organizational performance, but some studies have found no significant relationship. Therefore, some scholars interpret the mixed findings by incorporating the mediating variables. Some studies incorporate the innovation as a mediating variable between market orientation and organizational performance. Additionally, a series of recent studies have found that a firm¡¦s organizational learning is likely to indirectly affect organizational performance by facilitating the type of generative learning that leads to innovations in products, procedures, and systems. Therefore, this research presents a conceptual framework for incorporating organizational learning and innovations as the mediating variable between market orientation and organizational performance.
The sample of this study has 145 companies of Information Technology Industry in Scientific Industry Park. Many quantitative methods, including t-test, ANOVA, regression analysis, and LISREL analysis, and used to test the hypothesis of this research.
The major findings of this study are summarized as following: (1) Overall, the global model fit is acceptable. This empirical result supports the relationships among the market orientation, organizational learning, organizational innovations, and organizational performance. (2) Market orientation has a positive impact on organizational learning, administrative and technical innovation. Furthermore, the direct effect of market orientation on technical innovation is greater than the direct effect of market orientation on administrative innovation, but the total effect of market orientation on technical innovation is smaller than the total effect of market orientation on administrative innovation. (3) Organizational learning has a positive direct impact on administrative and technical innovation, but the direct effect of organizational learning on performance is not statistically significant. However, organizational learning has a positive indirect impact on performance by organizational innovations. Moreover, the direct effect of organizational learning on administrative innovation is greater than the direct effect of organizational learning on technical innovation. The indirect effect of organizational learning on performance by administrative innovation is greater than the indirect effect by technical innovation. (4) The direct effect of administrative innovation on performance is greater than the direct effect of technical innovation on performance. However, the effect of the two innovations types (administrative and technical) interact impact with each other is not statistically significant.
