In the main effect of three factors, there were significant difference for each three factors to Individual Innovation , that is as the Creative Personality of staff is more apparent, the staff's Individual Innovation is better; the Supervisor Leadership Style is either more consideration or more initiating structure oriented, the staff's Individual Innovation is better; but the contribution of initiating structure oriented is bigger than consideration oriented to the staffs Individual Innovation; as Organizational Innovation Climate is better, the staff's Individual Innovation is better; the contribution of Organizational Innovation Climate to the staff's Individual Innovation is the biggest one among these three factors.2. In the dual interactive effect of the three factors, when the staffs recognize the Supervisor Leadership Style is either more consideration or more initiating structure oriented, and the Creative Personality of staff is more apparent, then the staff's Individual Innovation is better; when the better Organizational Innovation Climate were conscious by staffs, and the better intrinsic original creativity of Creative Personality , then the staff's Individual Innovation is better; when the staffs recognize the Supervisor Leadership Style is either more consideration or more initiating structure oriented , the better team support of Organizational Innovation Climate were conscious by staffs, then the staff's Creativity Creation Performance (an aspect of Individual Innovation) is better. 3. In the three dimension interactive effects of the three factors aspects, under different Organizational Innovation Climate, regardless of the type of Supervisor Leadership Style, the interactive effect of Organizational Innovation Climate and the Intrinsic Original Creativity of staffs Creative Personality is bigger, then the staff's Individual Innovation is better; Obviously speaking of the Intrinsic Original Creativity, the contribution of Organizational Innovation Climate is bigger than the Supervisor Leadership Style to the Individual Innovation.Under the different Organizational Innovation Climate, the interactive effect of higher Initiating Structure Leadership style and the Work Obeying of Creative Personality presents positive contribution to the Creativity Execution Performance (an aspect of Individual Innovation) ; however, under the high Organizational Innovation Climate, the interactive effect of lower Initiating Structure Leadership style and the Work Obeying of Creative Personality presents negative contribution to the Creativity Execution Performance.
