คำสำคัญ:
Cross-level Influencing, Factors of Employees' Innovative Behavior, Chinese Enterprises the Mediating Role, Psychological Capitalบทคัดย่อ
In today's dynamic and competitive global market, innovation is a critical driver of regional and organizational success. This study investigates the factors influencing employees’ innovative behavior within Chinese enterprises, focusing on four key constructs: Psychological Capital, Knowledge Sharing, Organizational Innovation Climate, and Leader-Member Exchange. The research objectives are: (1) to examine the effects of these four factors on employees' innovative behavior; (2) to explore the mediating role of Psychological Capital in the relationship between Organizational Innovation Climate and innovative behavior; (3) to assess the mediating role of Psychological Capital in the link between Leader-Member Exchange and innovative behavior; and (4) to analyze the mediating role of Psychological Capital in the relationship between Knowledge Sharing and innovative behavior.
A mixed-methods approach was employed, including a literature review, in-depth interviews, and a questionnaire survey yielding 445 valid responses. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 26.0, applying regression and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques.
The results reveal that Psychological Capital, Knowledge Sharing, Organizational Innovation Climate, and Leader-Member Exchange each have a significant positive impact on employees' innovative behavior. Moreover, Psychological Capital fully mediates the effect of Organizational Innovation Climate, and partially mediates the effects of Leader-Member Exchange and Knowledge Sharing on innovative behavior. These findings underscore the importance of enhancing innovation by simultaneously strengthening individual psychological resources, fostering a supportive organizational climate, promoting open communication between leaders and employees, and encouraging knowledge sharing.
