When perceived innovation job requirement increases employee innovative behavior: A sensemaking perspective
基于意义建构视角，研究员工感知到的创新工作要求如何影响其创新行为，发现对内在创新兴趣低的员工，只有在认为工作要求重要（高绩效-奖励期望或高组织价值感知）时，该要求才促进创新行为。
Summary Building on the sensemaking perspective, we theorize and test conditions under which perceived innovation job requirement increases employee innovative behavior. Using data consisting of 311 employee–supervisor pairs from two companies in China, we found that perceived innovation job requirement had a more positive relation with innovative behavior for employees with low intrinsic interest in innovation than for those with high intrinsic interest. In addition, this positive effect for low‐intrinsic‐interest employees was achieved only when these employees interpreted the job requirement as important either because performance‐reward expectancy was high or because perceived value for the organization was high. We discuss the implications of these results for research and practice. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
