Abstract: Based on Schumpeter’s innovation theory, this paper explored the internal influence mechanism of entrepreneurship on technological innovation diffusion, and discussed the mediating role of knowledge sharing as well as the moderating role of environmental turbulence on the above process. Based on 279 questionnaires, a hierarchical regression analysis was conducted for the empirical test. The results show that entrepreneurship not only directly promotes innovation diffusion, but also indirectly facilitates technological innovation diffusion by enhancing knowledge sharing. Environmental turbulence, i.e., both technological turbulence and market turbulence, negatively moderated the promoting effect of knowledge sharing on innovation diffusion. Moreover, the mediating role of knowledge sharing is significantly different under different circumstances of environmental turbulence, i.e., environmental turbulence has a contingency effect on the mediating effect of knowledge sharing.

Key words: entrepreneurship; innovation diffusion, knowledge sharing, environmental turbulence, moderated mediation effect
