Nowadays, organizations face the environment with highly change and uncertainty;
therefore, organizations with traditional operating ways are not sufficiently equipped with
competitive advantage. To survive, they keep changing in product and service. However,
innovation does not merely mean new facilities and technologies; innovation mainly depends
on whether the organization as a whole has innovative ideas. One of the most essential issues
to organizations is to establish a continuous innovation system with adaptability and
innovativeness, and it consists of two key levels: employee and organization. In individual
level of, innovation will be a job for every employee; it will also be necessary for the
organization itself to have the abilities of continuous innovation and to adjust to change at
any time.
The multiple regression analysis and hierarchical linear model (HLM) were used to
analyze the relationships among employees¡¦ personality, organizational innovative climate,
and employees¡¦ innovative behaviors to attempted to discover highly innovative employees in
organizations. The results are presented as follows.
1. There was significantly positive influence of the personality of ¡§conscientiousness¡¨,
¡§extraversion¡¨, ¡§openness to experience¡¨ on ¡§individual innovative behavior¡¨
respectively ; but there is no significant influence of the personality of
¡§agreeableness¡¨, ¡§neuroticism¡¨ on individual innovative behavior respectively.
2. There was no significant influence of organizational innovative climate on individual
innovative behavior.
3. The study examined the moderating effect of organizational level variable by
slopes-as-outcomes mode. The result showed that organizational innovative climate
had the moderating effect on conscientiousness and individual innovative behavior.
The result indicated that the stronger extent of organizational innovative climate, the
more employee with the personality of ¡§conscientiousness¡¨ tends to have more
individual innovative behaviors.
