摘要

尽管创新在组织中受到高度重视,但早期职业生涯的专业人士面临着一个悖论,即引入新想法,但却有不同的自由度和支持来实现这些新想法。本研究基于对美国早期职业工程师的35次基于重大事件的采访,阐明了他们创新努力的社会动态,考察了这种积极主动的行为的过程。我们发现,所有参与者都报告了在创建、支持和实施新想法方面的一些参与,通常是以参与者在工作中使用的工具和流程的自我改进形式。直接主管的鼓励、支持性的组织文化和做法、工作范围、提供的时间和个人的感知地位是决定是否采取这种主动行动的关键考虑因素。反过来,实施创新的工作行为在很大程度上取决于员工的持续主动性和临时的非正式合作,个人的努力不时被与他人的有影响力的互动打断,这些互动往往决定了努力的价值。这项研究有助于理解创新工作行为所需的社会互动和声音感知,揭示何时以及向谁提供这些先决条件。讨论了对组织创新能力和新员工参与创新的影响。

The dynamics of innovation efforts in the early career

The dynamics of innovation efforts in the early career

Although innovation is highly valued in organizations, early-career professionals face a paradox of bringing in novel ideas, yet having varied latitude and support to see these new ideas through. Building on 35 critical-incident-based interviews with early-career engineers in the United States, this study illuminates the socially situated dynamics of their innovation efforts, examining the process of such promotive proactive behaviour. We find that all participants reported some engagement in creating, championing and implementing new ideas, typically in the form of self-initiated improvements to the tools and processes participants used in their jobs. Encouragement from direct supervisors, supportive organizational cultures and practices, job scope, time afforded and one's perceived status were key considerations in determining whether to take such initiative. Carrying out innovative work behaviours, in turn, was largely dependent on continued employee initiative and ad hoc, informal cooperation, with individual effort punctuated by influential interactions with others that often determined the perceived valence of efforts. The study adds to understanding the social interactions and perceptions of voice required for innovative work behaviour, revealing when and to whom these prerequisites are afforded. Implications for organizations' innovation capacity and new hires' participation in innovation are discussed.

期刊介绍: Creativity and Innovation Management bridges the gap between the theory and practice of organizing imagination and innovation. The journal''s central consideration is how to challenge and facilitate creative potential, and how then to embed this into results-oriented innovative business development. The creativity of individuals, coupled with structured and well-managed innovation projects, creates a sound base from which organizations may operate effectively within their inter-organizational and societal environment. Today, successful operations must go hand in hand with the ability to anticipate future opportunities. Therefore, a cultural focus and inspiring leadership are as crucial to an organization''s success as efficient structural arrangements and support facilities. This is reflected in the journal''s contents: -Leadership for creativity and innovation; the behavioural side of innovation management. -Organizational structures and processes to support creativity and innovation; interconnecting creative and innovative processes. -Creativity, motivation, work environment/creative climate and organizational behaviour, creative and innovative entrepreneurship. -Deliberate development of creative and innovative skills including the use of a variety of tools such as TRIZ or CPS. -Creative professions and personalities; creative products; the relationship between creativity and humour; arts and amp; humanities side of creativity.
