Innovative Behaviour, Trust and Perceived Workplace Performance
基于社会交换理论,研究个体和团队层面的创新行为如何影响感知工作绩效,并发现团队内部及与主管之间的信任会调节这种关系。
Abstract Building on theories of social exchange, enactment and trust, we provide a theorization of innovative work behaviour at the individual (IB) and team (IB T ) levels and explain how desirable performance returns occur for individuals and teams. We further propose that horizontal (between team members) and vertical (between teams and their supervisor) team trust moderate the relationship between IB T and team performance. The results, based on surveys conducted at two points in time in a large insurance company in the Netherlands, show that employees’ IB is positively associated with perceived workplace performance at the individual and team levels and that the effects vary based on the forms of trust at play. Our findings offer important new knowledge about the consequences of entrepreneurship and innovation in the workplace and the significant role that trust plays in enabling such behaviour to promote perceived workplace performance, particularly in the vital financial services sector.
