The influence of friendship and communication network density on individual innovative behaviours: a multilevel study
研究了团队友谊网络密度和沟通网络密度如何影响个体的创新行为（包括创意产生、建议提出、创意推广和创意实施），发现友谊网络密度通过沟通网络密度间接促进创新行为。
The present study examines whether teams’ friendship and communication network density are related to individual innovative behaviours (IIBs: idea generation, suggestion making, idea promotion and idea implementation). The study sample was composed of 28 teams comprising 101 members. The results obtained by means of multilevel structural equations modelling showed that friendship network density had an indirect positive relationship with the four IIBs through the density of team communication networks.
