The results showed that (1)learning goal orientation’s positive impact on innovative behavior was mediated by knowledge transformation; (2)the networking ability moderated the relationship between learning goal orientation and knowledge transformation; (3)the networking ability moderated the mediated relationship through knowledge transformation.
