  ABSTRACT: In the globalized and dynamic competitive environment, innovation performance is significant to enterprise performance. How R & D investment, knowledge search, network capability, and institutional pressure affect innovation performance are hurried to be tested. Under the view of multiple affective factors, we established the research model among R & D investment, knowledge search, network capability, and institutional pressure and innovation performance, and tested the model with using partial least squares based on data of 448 questionnaires with SMART-PLS. The findings indicate network capability has a positive effect on innovation performance; R & D investment has positive effect on Network capability; knowledge search positive effect on the Network capability; R & D investment positive effect on the innovation performance through the Network capability (mediator); knowledge search positive effect on the innovation performance through the Network capability (mediator); institutional pressure (moderator) positive effect on effect between Network capability and the innovation performance. There theoretical and practical contributions.
