摘要
组织中地位与员工创新行为一直是学术界关注的焦点,但是研究结果存在较大的不一致性。通过把创新行为区分为思想阶段的提出想法和应用阶段的推展/实施想法,本研究率先检验了非正式地位与错误管理文化对员工创新行为分段式选择的影响。研究结果发现:(1)非正式地位水平正向影响推展/实施想法;(2)组织错误管理文化调节非正式地位与员工创新行为选择间关系,具体而言,在高错误管理文化下,非正式地位越低,员工提出想法与推展/实施想法均增加得越明显,而非正式地位越高,员工提出想法与推展/实施想法均增加得越不明显;在低错误管理文化下,高和低地位员工在提出想法与推展/实施想法方面均呈下降趋势,但是比较而言,非正式地位水平越低下降幅度越大,因此,在错误文化影响下,整体上高地位个体在创新行为选择的变化相对较小,而低地位个体在创新行为选择的变化相对较大。研究一定程度上证实了员工在创新行为问题上的分段式选择假设。
The relationship between status and employees' innovative behavior has been a hot topic; however, the conclusions of differ- ent studies are incongruent. This study is trying to draw a better understanding of the status-innovation behavior relationship by distinguis- hing the innovative behavior into two different phases: thoughts (expressing ideas) and application (diffusing/realizing ideas). The re- sults show that informal status has a positive and significant effect on individual diffusing/realizing ideas; with organizational error man- agement culture has a moderating effect on the positive path. For example, higher informal status employees diffuse/realize more ideas, while lower informal status employees diffuse/realize fewer ideas. In the context of high error management culture, lower informal status employees expressing and diffusing/realizing ideas increase more than the higher status. However, in low error management culture, both high and low informal status employees' behaviors of expressing and diffusing/realizing ideas decrease, only that the lower informal sta- tus decline more than the higher informal status. Overall, within the context of error management culture, the low informal status individ- ual has a greater change in the innovation behavior choice comparing with the high informal status. The result of this study is an effective support to the hypothesis that there is innovative behavior choice within employees.
