批判创造思维如何影响根本性创新行为？——被中介的调节效应模型

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 根本性创新行为因使员工在组织中最大化实现自我价值而受到学界和实务界的广泛关注，思维在此过程中发挥着不可小觑的作用。虽然理论上可以推导出思维有助于提升员工根本性创新行为，但批判创造思维通过何种机制来驱动根本性创新行为在学界并没有得到系统的阐发与检验。本文依托认知理论和目标设置理论构建了一个被中介的调节效应模型。通过分析两个时点数据，回归结果显示：创新工作参与在两种不同思维与员工根本性创新行为关系间具有中介效应，目标清晰度正向调节了批判创造思维和创新工作参与之间正向关系，进一步，这种调节关系通过创新工作参与来驱动根本性创新行为。研究结果对于两种不同思维如何影响员工根本性创新行为的内在机理提供新证据和新阐发，同时对提升员工创新管理实践具有重要启示。

Abstract: An increasing number of organizations realize that thinking is a key element in helping the organization to get competitive advantage and an important prerequisite for employees to promote their innovation behavior. Although existing researches suggest critical thinking and creative thinking can help employee promote innovation behavior, the effect of critical thinking and creative thinking on employees' radical innovation behavior fails to be fully explained. Empirical studies show mixed results and these relationships have remained ambiguous. This study proposes and tests a mediated moderation model in which critical thinking and creative thinking influence employee radical innovation behavior, with creative work involvement as a mediator and goal clarity as a moderator. By analyzing the data of two time points, the regression results show that:critical thinking and creative thinking are positively related to creative work involvement, creative work involvement partially mediates the relationship between critical thinking (and creative thinking) and radical innovation behavior, goal clarity moderates the relationship between critical thinking (and creative thinking) and creative work involvement, that is, the higher the goal clarity is, the stronger the mediated relationship will be. Our research indicates that a mediated moderation model can better explain the influence mechanism of critical thinking and creative thinking on employee radical innovation behavior, which not only enriches and extends the scope of related management, but also provides a beneficial enlightenment to the employee's radical innovation behavior management practices.
