Abstract: This paper creates a dataset of articles published from 1998 to 2018 in all the peer-reviewed journals of management CSSCI, based on theoretical analysis and modeling, it empirically analyzes the role of scholars' openness on their academic impact. The results show that there is a nonlinear relationship between scholars' openness and academic impact, which is positive before a certain point, and then becomes negative. By introducing the moderating variable career age (AGE), the research also finds that moderate cognitive openness and structural openness are desirable for enhancing academic impact for young scholars; besides, a high level of cognitive openness and a low level of structural openness contribute to senior scholars’ academic impact. The research contributes to understanding of different search behavior across business scholars’ career paths, and has some theoretical references on how to improve the academic impact of scholars.

摘要： 本文以管理学CSSCI（1998~2018）期刊文章为样本，通过理论分析和建模，实证分析了学者认知开放性和结构开放性对其学术影响力的作用。研究结果表明，学者认知开放性和结构性开放性与学术影响力之间存在非线性关系，在某一特定点之前是积极作用，之后是消极作用。通过引入职业年龄这一调节变量，研究还发现适度的认知开放性和结构开放性对于提升年轻学者的学术影响力是可取的；对于年长学者来说，高水平的认知开放性和低水平的结构开放性有助于提升其学术影响力。本文的研究有助于了解学者职业生涯不同时期的搜索行为，对如何提升学者学术影响力有一定的理论借鉴。
