博士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 人力資源管理研究所 === 105 === There is more and more conceptual understanding of ambidexterity in business unit gaining competitive advantages. Not only do enterprises take flexible business strategies, but also individuals require diversity to meet unpredictable markets. Plenty of previous study indicated that ambidexterity was associated with job performance. In the current study, extracting the supplementary fit theory and drawing the view of sequential ambidexterity, focusing on adopting phased shifts of two different structures in realigning environmental change. With 3-month-period questionnaire survey, in the 27 high-tech sample manufacturers, which both involve in R&D and manufacture. The 350 questionnaires in which respondents were the R & D engineers paired with their direct supervisors (1 supervisor match 3~5 engineers), and reclaimed 226 valid respondents. The results indicated that 1. Competency ambidexterity positively affects job performance. 2. The fit of high cognitive style ambidexterity and high competency ambidexterity strengthens the effect on job performance. 3. The fit of high leadership ambidexterity and high competency ambidexterity strengthens the effect on job performance. However, corporate culture ambidexterity doesn’t moderate the effect of cognitive style and competency ambidexterity fit or leadership and competency ambidexterity fit on job performance. The results of the study provide some valuable implications. Recruiting and cultivating engineers and leaders with ambidexterity is necessary to those corporations that put the same emphasis on R&D and manufacturing productivity. And the measure of cognitive style ambidexterity could be a useful reference to deploy in management. For future research, one may try to compare ambidexterity in industries only involving in R&D or only manufacture, and may be find out some cross-level moderating variables.
