Abstract

As modern governments face increasing pressure to meet citizens’ rising expectations, innovation has become a central focus for public organizations. While job autonomy is a well-established antecedent of individual innovative behavior, the moderating role of organizational culture in shaping this relationship remains underexplored. Public organizations often embody different types of culture, such as performance-oriented culture that emphasizes efficiency and adherence to predefined indicators, and innovation culture that encourages the generation and promotion of new ideas. Using data from the South Korean government and a competing values framework theory, this study examines the differential impacts of innovation culture versus performance-oriented culture on innovative behavior and assesses how these cultural orientations moderate the effect of job autonomy. Innovation culture not only directly fosters innovative behavior but also enhances the beneficial influence of job autonomy on such behavior. Conversely, a strong performance-oriented culture diminishes the positive relationship between job autonomy and innovative behavior.

组织文化在工作自主性与创新行为关系中的调节作用

随着现代政府面临越来越大的压力，以满足公民日益增长的期望，创新已成为公共组织的中心焦点。虽然工作自主性是个人创新行为的先决条件，但组织文化在塑造这种关系中的调节作用仍未得到充分探讨。公共组织往往体现不同类型的文化，例如强调效率和遵守预定义指标的绩效导向文化，以及鼓励产生和推广新想法的创新文化。利用韩国政府的数据和竞争价值框架理论，本研究考察了创新文化与绩效导向文化对创新行为的差异影响，并评估了这些文化导向如何调节工作自主性的影响。创新文化不仅能直接促进创新行为，还能增强工作自主性对创新行为的有益影响。相反，强烈的绩效导向文化会削弱工作自主权和创新行为之间的积极关系。
