Abstract In the era of economic transition, organizational inertia existing in a large number of enterprises is hindering organizational change and product innovation.From the integrative perspective of knowledge and character, this study constructs a framework to explore the strategies for avoiding organizational inertia.Thus, we construct a structural equation model to explain organizational inertia, by employing knowledge capital and organizational character as antecedent variables, knowledge capability as mediating variable.Furthermore, an empirical analysis is finished based on a sample data with 286 respondents in a survey.The results show that knowledge capital and organizational character do have significant and negative effects on organizational inertia.Knowledge capital and organizational thinking influence organizational inertia through the mediating role of knowledge capability, while organizational instinct and organizational emotion directly affect organizational inertia.The negative effects of knowledge capital and organizational thinking on resource inertia, which are mediated by knowledge capability, are much greater than the ones on routine inertia.On the contrary, the negative effects of organizational instinct and emotion on routine inertia are much greater than the ones on resource inertia.Finally, some enlightenments and suggestions for avoiding organizational inertia are put forward under the framework of intellectual management.
