Abstract
Our understanding of how and under what conditions organizational innovative climate unfolds its impact on employees' innovative behaviors remains at a nascent stage. To address these questions, this study developed a moderated mediation model of organizational innovative climate and tested it using a three-level, time-lagged design with a sample of 93 organizations, 269 working groups, and 1146 employees. The results show that organizational innovative climate is positively and indirectly related to employees' innovative behaviors through managers' proactive goal regulation. We also find that the indirect linkage between organizational innovative climate and employees' innovative behaviors via managers' proactive goal regulation only emerge in the organizations that faced highly competitive intensity, but not in those with low competitive intensity. These findings provide important insights into how organizational innovative climate diffuses within organizations and which factors may enhance or limit its impact on employees' actions.
期刊介绍:
Research Policy (RP) articles explore the interaction between innovation, technology, or research, and economic, social, political, and organizational processes, both empirically and theoretically. All RP papers are expected to provide insights with implications for policy or management.
Research Policy (RP) is a multidisciplinary journal focused on analyzing, understanding, and effectively addressing the challenges posed by innovation, technology, R&D, and science. This includes activities related to knowledge creation, diffusion, acquisition, and exploitation in the form of new or improved products, processes, or services, across economic, policy, management, organizational, and environmental dimensions.
