Abstract: Abstract This research contributes to existing literature by examining how network competence (NC), knowledge sharing (KS) and relationship quality (RQ) affect service innovation performance (SIP). The sample used in this empirical research is drawn from the Pearl River Delta of China. The results show that: (1) Enterprise’s network competence has a distinct positive impact on SIP; (2) Knowledge sharing partially mediates the effect of network competence on SIP. (3) Relationship quality positively moderates the effect of network competence on knowledge sharing, and the effect of knowledge sharing on SIP. (4) Relationship quality does not positively moderate the effect of network competence on SIP. These results enrich current understanding of the relationships among network competence, knowledge sharing, relationship quality and service innovation performance.
