Research On The Influence Of Outcome Expectations Of Innovative Behavior On Employee's Innovative Behavior

Under the dynamic background of knowledge economy,innovation has become the key driver to determine the survival and long-term development of enterprises.Employee is the important part of the company,and its innovative behavior is the direct source of innovation performance and the strong guarantee for continuous innovation of the company.How to motivate and manage employee innovative behavior has been a hot issue in academic research and management practice.A large number of studies have analyzed how the individual factors and organization factors affected innovative behavior,but few people pay attention to the effect of expectation on employee innovative behavior.The results of psychological tests show that the expectations of individual's behavior outcomes are one of the important factors that govern their behavior.Moreover,the passion of individual for innovative activities helps them improve the flexibility and creativity of individual thinking.However,in the existing individual innovation literature,few literature clearly explained the impact mechanism of outcome expectations of innovative behavior on employee innovative behavior,and the relationship between outcome expectations of innovative behavior,passion for inventing and employee innovative behavior.Also,the study of the impact of innovation outcomes expectations on employee innovative behavior can also provide practical recommendations for business management practices.This research regarded the employees in enterprise as the research target and used SPSS21.0 and Amos21.0.The survey was conducted and total 296 valid paired questionnaires were returned.This research constructed a conceptual model about the interaction among expected image risks,expected image gains,expected positive performance outcomes,passion for inventing and employee innovative behavior.Besides,correlation analysis and regressive analysis were put in this paper.The structure equation model was built and verified.A positive analysis was applied to study the relationship between outcome expectations of innovative behavior(expected image risks,expected image gain,expected positive performance outcomes)and employee innovative behavior,as well as the mediator effect of passion for inventing.The results show that:(1)expected image gains and expected positive performance outcomes have significantly positive impact on employee innovative behavior;expected image risk has significantly negative impact on employee innovative behavior;(2)expected image gains and expected positive performance outcomes have significantly positive impact on passion for inventing;expected image risk has significantly negative impact on passion for inventing;(3)passion for inventing has significantly positive impact on employee innovative behavior;(4)passion for inventing has mediator effect on the relationship between outcome expectations of innovative behavior(expected image risks,expected image gains,expected positive performance outcomes)and employee innovative behavior.
