Abstract
[Purpose/significance] Stimulating corporate innovation intention is a pivotal issue for promoting innovation. However, the academic discourse on its key drivers presents significantly divergent and even contradictory conclusions, leading to theoretical ambiguity and practical guidance challenges. This study aims to systematically and quantitatively integrate empirical research in this field to clarify the true effects of core driving factors and their operational boundaries. [Method/process] Adopting a meta-analysis approach, this study systematically retrieves and screens literature, ultimately analyzes 29 empirical studies and examine four potential moderating variables which include location, data type, industry, and culture. [Result/conclusion] The study finds that government support, internal relations, and laws and regulations constraints are the strongest drivers for stimulating innovation intention. Factors with contradictory conclusions in previous research, such as firm size and firm age, do not have a significant direct driving effect, with their roles being highly dependent on specific contexts. The driving mechanism exhibits significant context-dependency.
