Abstract

In teaching, innovative work behaviour is an important issue and there is a crucial role of teachers for development of innovations. Purpose of this study is to assess role of teacher's beliefs and personality for innovative work behaviour among school teachers. Participants were 400 secondary school teachers of 28 schools at Kolkata (West Bengal, India), who were administered the following measures: a) Innovative Work Behaviour Scale (Janssen, 2000), b) Belief-Assessment Scale for Innovation and c) Neo Five Factor Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992). The Belief-Assessment Scale for Innovation was developed for this study. Teacher's belief for innovation, openness, extraversion, and conscientiousness were found to be positively correlated with all the three domains of innovative work behaviour i.e. idea generation, idea promotion, and idea realisation. Neuroticism was negatively correlated with idea generation. Regression analysis revealed that teachers' beliefs for innovation and degree of openness to new or different ideas have a potentially significant impact on innovative work behaviour. This study is a significant contribution towards understanding the determining factors of innovative work behaviour among teachers.

学校教师创新工作行为:信念对创新的作用与人格模式

在教学中，创新工作行为是一个重要的问题，教师对创新的发展起着至关重要的作用。摘要本研究旨在探讨教师信念与个性对学校教师创新工作行为的影响。参与者是来自印度西孟加拉邦加尔各答28所学校的400名中学教师，对他们进行了以下测量:a)创新工作行为量表(Janssen, 2000)， b)创新信念评估量表和c)新五因素量表(Costa & mcrae, 1992)。本研究编制了创新信念评估量表。教师对创新、开放性、外向性和责任心的信念与创新工作行为的所有三个领域(即创意产生、创意促进和创意实现)均呈正相关。神经质与创意产生负相关。回归分析显示，教师的创新信念和对新思想或不同思想的开放程度对创新工作行为有潜在的显著影响。本研究对理解教师创新工作行为的决定因素有重要贡献。
