Research On The Challenge-Hindrance Stress Effect On Innovative Behavior Of R&D Staff

During the transition period, in face of China’s increasingly fierce market competition and the more complexity and uncertainty environment, the key to build the core competitiveness and to keep sustainable competitive advantage of enterprises, lies in innovation. Innovation activities are usually the result of synergy effect of individual, team and organizational factors at all levels. Among them individual innovation is the foundation of organizational innovation, related to the survival and development of enterprises. Thus to solve the "how to inspire the Employee Innovative Behavior" problem is an urgent need. However, in the era of knowledge economy, the role of different types of employees on innovation performance is not the same. As the main body of knowledge workers, R&D staff is a strategic innovation and capital resources, its innovative behavior on innovation performance plays an important role.The working pressure as an organizational characteristic, presents in almost all organizations and individuals, have very important influence on the employees’ psychology and behavior. And different types of pressure vary the role and impact on behavior. However, from the psychological perception to the concrete innovation behavior, intermediate process also affected by other factors. Some scholars have pointed out that the biggest obstacle to innovation is not material conditions, but the lack of confidence and entrepreneurial spirit. Thus, innovative self-efficacy may play an important intermediary role between stress and innovative behavior.This study analyzes two dimensions of work pressure "the challenge-hindrance stress" effect on innovative behavior of R&D staff, and explores the process and mechanism of the challenge-hindrance stress on innovation behavior of R&D staff. Put forward the research hypothesis based on the study of previous research of the challenge-hindrance stress and innovative behavior. Through questionnaire survey, data collection and collation, explored how challenge-hindrance pressure influences the innovation behavior. The main conclusions are as follows:Two dimensions of work stress have different effects on innovation behavior, which challenges pressure on R&D staff has a positive effects, hindrance pressure has a negative effects; Two dimensions of work stress on innovation affect creative self-efficacy in a different way, challenge pressure which has positive effects on creative self-efficacy, while hindrance pressure has a negative impact on creative self-efficacy; Creative self-efficacy has significant positive effects on innovation behavior; Creative self-efficacy in challenge-hindrance pressure plays a partial intermediary role in the effects of challenge-hindrance pressure on the innovation behavior of R&D staff.The study follows these steps to do the research:Firstly, mainly describes the background, purpose and significance, research ideas and methods, and possible innovations are introduced. Then, review and combed the main research themes of this research:challenges-hindrance pressure, innovative behavior and creative self-efficacy, the connotation, measurement and related research of these variables. Through elaborate theory based on the basis of research results with related domestic and foreign scholars, study the relationship between the variables by theoretical analysis, propose hypotheses and build models. Maturity scale questionnaire from domestic and abroad for reference, according to the study need to design、investigate and test reliability and validity of collected data. According to the sample data which has passed reliability and validity test, first to analyze the correlation between the main variables, then analyze the effect of challenge-hindrance pressure on innovation behavior and creative self-efficacy, finally verified intermediary effect of creative self-efficacy. At last, mainly the result of empirical analysis summarizes and concludes relative management suggestions and points out the objective and subjective conditions due to the limitation of this study led to the existence of deficiencies and to conduct follow-up studies and future prospects in this area.
