Employee’ innovativeness: A conceptual framework
Abstract
Innovative behaviour is a key factor that contributes to organizational success. However, most studies have investigated employee’s Innovative behaviour from single views, the interaction between the psychological and organizational factors influencing innovative behaviours remains unclear. This article seeks to address that research gap by building a holistic model of employee innovativeness. The proposed framework is a multi-component construct which provides a comprehensive view of various factors that influence employee innovativeness. The proposed model clearly explains the relationship between personal factors, including thriving at work, psychological capital, organizational factors presented by organizational climate, supervisor support and entrepreneurial orientation. The research also suggests a number of research directions in the future.
