摘要
目的研究影响六西格玛改进团队创新的因素。本研究以激活理论为基础,探讨了心理安全与创新之间存在倒 U 型关系的可能性,并研究了内在动机如何调节这种关系。设计/方法/手段利用从两家欧洲制造企业的 102 个六西格玛改进团队的 324 名成员处收集的数据,进行了调节回归分析,以检验曲线关系。研究结果研究结果表明,心理安全的有利影响会出现一个拐点,在拐点之后,心理安全与创新的关系就不再是线性和正向的,而是曲线关系(倒 U 型)。此外,内在动机在增强心理安全对创新的有利影响以及将拐点转移到更高水平方面具有支持作用;这表明它们对创新具有协同影响。 原创性/价值从曲线关系的新视角研究了心理安全对创新的影响。这是首次研究个人(内在动力)和团队层面的前因(心理安全)对六西格玛团队创新的综合影响。该研究深入探讨了六西格玛如何增强创新能力,并为当前有关该主题的学术讨论提供了一些有效的意见。
A curvilinear assessment of innovation in Six Sigma project teams: the influence of psychological safety and intrinsic motivation
Purpose
To investigate the factors affecting innovation in Six Sigma improvement teams. Based on Activation Theory, this study explores the possibility of an inverted U-shaped association between psychological safety and innovation and examines how intrinsic motivation moderates this relationship.
Design/methodology/approach
Moderated regression analysis is carried out to test the curvilinear relationship, using data collected from 324 members of 102 Six Sigma improvement teams from two European manufacturing firms.
Findings
The findings demonstrate that the beneficial effect of psychological safety reaches an inflection point, after which its relations with innovation cease to be linear and positive; this gives the relationship a curvilinear pattern (inverted U-shaped). Further, intrinsic motivation has a supportive effect in enhancing the beneficial impact of psychological safety on innovation, and in shifting the inflection points to a higher level; this demonstrates their synergetic influence on innovation.
Originality/value
The impact of psychological safety on innovation is examined from the new perspective of a curvilinear relationship. This is one of the first studies to investigate the combined effects of individual (intrinsic motivation) and team-level antecedents (psychological safety) on innovation in Six Sigma teams. The study provides insights into how Six Sigma enhances innovation and offers some valid inputs to the current academic debate on this topic.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management (JMTM) aspires to be the premier destination for impactful manufacturing-related research. JMTM provides comprehensive international coverage of topics pertaining to the management of manufacturing technology, focusing on bridging theoretical advancements with practical applications to enhance manufacturing practices.
JMTM seeks articles grounded in empirical evidence, such as surveys, case studies, and action research, to ensure relevance and applicability. All submissions should include a thorough literature review to contextualize the study within the field and clearly demonstrate how the research contributes significantly and originally by comparing and contrasting its findings with existing knowledge. Articles should directly address management of manufacturing technology and offer insights with broad applicability.
