Abstract

Innovative behavior (INB) is recognized as a core competence for innovation development. In higher education, Universities worldwide focuses on promoting the core competence in students. The comparison for innovative behavior based on demographic characteristics in this setting is little known for more understanding. The purpose of this study was to examine and compare between demographic characteristics, and INB of undergraduate students in Thailand. A total of 1200 undergraduate students from various type of university were participated in the study and completed the demographic characteristic questionnaire and innovative behavior scale that included opportunity seeking, creating new concepts, thought leadership and the application of ideas. The current study shows that the level of INB among the participants were a moderate in total and had a statistically significant difference (p < .01) of INB for type of university and grade point average (GPA). These findings may be used as the primary data for educators and educational psychologist to develop strategies to enhance undergraduate students’ INB.

基于人口统计学特征的大学生创新行为描述

创新行为（INB）被认为是创新发展的核心能力。在高等教育中，世界各地的大学都注重培养学生的核心能力。在这种情况下，基于人口特征的创新行为的比较鲜为人知，难以得到更多的理解。本研究的目的是检验和比较泰国大学生的人口统计学特征和INB之间的关系。共有1200名来自不同类型大学的本科生参与了研究，并完成了人口统计学特征问卷和创新行为量表，包括机会寻求、创造新概念、思想领导和想法应用。本研究显示，受试者的INB水平总体为中等水平，差异有统计学意义(p <；大学类型和平均绩点（GPA）的INB分数为0.01。这些发现可以作为教育工作者和教育心理学家制定提高大学生INB的策略的主要数据。
