Abstract

Abstract: Effective teams are important cornerstones for the successful organizations, especially for those operating in dynamic environments. Based on the preliminary conclusions derived from the research of the goal orientation theory, a multilevelly theoretical model in which the team climate were included to examine the relationship between goal orientation and innovation is propased. At individual level, the relationship between individual goal orientation and innovative behavior, and the moderating role of team innovation climate are examined. At group level, the relationship between team goal orientation and innovation performance, and the mediating role of team innovation climate are also analyzed. Based on these, a multilevel framework is presented and considerations for future research and practice are discussed.
