Abstract

This study aims to conceptualize ‘focus towards innovation’ as a team-level construct and develop a theoretically grounded and empirically robust mechanism to measure it within organizational settings. A rigorous multi-method design was used to develop and validate the team focus towards innovation (TFI) scale. Factor analysis on the analysis sample (n1 = 256) and validation sample (n2 = 216) were used to identify and validate the three-factorial structure of the TFI construct with sub-dimensions – inner focus, other focus, and outer focus towards innovation. This unique three-dimensional factor structure, and its item-level composition are the major contributions of this study

研发团队创新专注度的测度:规模开发与实证验证

本研究旨在将“专注于创新”概念化为团队层面的构建，并开发一个理论基础和经验稳健的机制来衡量组织环境中的创新。采用严格的多方法设计来开发和验证团队对创新(TFI)规模的关注。通过对分析样本(n1 = 256)和验证样本(n2 = 216)的因子分析，对TFI结构的三因子结构进行了识别和验证，其子维度为创新的内部焦点、其他焦点和外部焦点。这种独特的三维因素结构及其项目层面的构成是本研究的主要贡献

期刊介绍： The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management. The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning. The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
