Drawing on the social network theory (SNT) and resource-based view (RBV), with mix methods approach, this paper argues that as the primary path for startups acquiring external resources, social networks are beneficial to improving innovative startups\u2019 innovation performance. Using a large amount of data from GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor), this paper first runs correlation analysis and regression analysis to empirically analyze entrepreneurs\u2019 social networks\u2019 impact on China\u2019s innovative startups\u2019 innovation performance. The results show that both formal and informal social networks are positively correlated with innovative startups\u2019 innovation performance. Then we consider the moderating effect of entrepreneurial competence and motivation. And the results show both entrepreneurial competence and motivation positively moderate the correlation above. Second, to explore the above correlation\u2019s internal mechanism, we conduct semi-structured interviews with 14 entrepreneurs. Drawing on the resource management theory (RMT) and the process of cross-border knowledge search and assimilation, the mechanism model of entrepreneurs\u2019 social networks on startups\u2019 innovation performance is proposed through content analysis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/erj-2020-0541","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,4]],"date-time":"2021-07-04T11:42:36Z","timestamp":1625398956000},"page":"31-69","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["The Mechanism of Entrepreneurs\u2019 Social Networks on Innovative Startups\u2019 Innovation Performance Considering the Moderating Effect of the Entrepreneurial Competence and Motivation"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Junguang","family":"Gao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Business School , Beijing Technology and Business University , Beijing , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Business School , Beijing Technology and Business University , Beijing , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Business School , Beijing Technology and Business University , Beijing , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fuzhen","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management , Panzhihua University , Panzhihua , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023041309505318937_j_erj-2020-0541_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Aalbers, R., W.
