了解組織如何透過妥善運用知識來創造機會，是本研究 探討在公司單位層 次之組織學習上很重要的切入點。過去理論在探討創造高績效時，業導向 (EO)在許 多創業導向 多創業導向 文獻中都被認為是組織績效的預測因素 。但亦有不少 的組織策略 文獻針對 創業導向和組織績效之間的正關係存疑，而這也成為了 本研究能夠藉由知識管理 (KM)和賦權氣候 (EC)呼應該研究缺口的契機。

Understanding the learning mechanism of how organization exploit and utilize the acquired knowledge sheds light on the way organization explore opportunities, and this research further addresses this phenomenon in the unit level perspective. In pursuit of better organization performance, entrepreneurial orientation(EO) has become an indispensable predictor. Yet EO scholars has left ambiguous link between EO and performance, which led knowledge management(KM) and empowerment climate(EC) to be more valuable in terms of echoing previous research gap.
Using an original data set of 31 enterprises, and data were collected by sending out questionnaire. By conducting hierarchical linear model and structural equation model, we found the mediation effect of EO was significant supported, moreover, the link between KM and EO was positively moderated by EC. Overall, the findings contribute to future research in comprehending the important role of EP in facilitating organization in opportunity exploration.
