Innovative Behavior in the Workplace: The Role of Performance and Image Outcome Expectations
研究员工为何在工作中创新，发现对绩效提升、形象风险和形象收益的三种预期显著影响创新行为，这些预期受组织支持、上级关系、工作要求、创新声誉和现状不满等因素塑造。
Why do employees engage in innovative behavior at their workplaces? We examine how employees' innovative behavior is explained by expectations for such behavior to affect job performance (expected positive performance outcomes) and image inside their organizations (expected image risks and expected image gains). We found significant effects of all three outcome expectations on innovative behavior. These outcome expectations, as intermediate psychological processes, were shaped by contextual and individual difference factors, including perceived organization support for innovation, supervisor relationship quality, job requirement for innovativeness, employee reputation as innovative, and individual dissatisfaction with the status quo.
