The effect of organizational culture types on employee innovational behavior

Abstract

Abstract: The implementation of employee creativity needs the environmental support and individual effort. Therefore the relationship between organization culture and employee creativity will be explored based on the theory of planning behavior. Four types of organization culture, that is, high-agglomerative organization culture, market-oriented organization culture, golden mean organization culture, and hierarchy organization culture are described by means of two dimensions, namely, internal integration and external adaptation. On this basis, employee creative self-efficacy is used as a mediate variable to analyze and discuss the influence of different types of organization cultures having on employee innovational behavior. Total 497 sets of valid questionnaires are collected to verify the assumption using regressive analysis and variance analysis. The results show that not only organization culture has a positive influence on employee innovational behavior, but also different culture types have the different effect on it, and the mediative effect of employee creative self-efficacy is supported by the study.

Key words: employee innovational behavior, creative self-efficacy, high-agglomerative organization culture, market-oriented organization culture, golden mean organization culture, hierarchy organization culture
