The Effects of Physicians’ Personal Characteristics on Innovation Readiness in Taiwan’s Hospitals

Innovative work behavior in Singapore evoked by transformational leaders through innovation support and readiness

“…First, although most of the fit indices of the measurement models met the criteria, the TLI and CFI indices were slightly below the .95 cut‐off point, thus warranting replication studies. The perceptual measures used in the current study should, ideally, be complemented by objective measures of innovation, such as the number of patents, technical reports and customer feedback (Chen et al, 2014), as well as manager and peer assessments of the degree of innovation or employee IWB. Second, because the ‘in‐role behaviour’ marker variable may have some functional relationships with the study variables, the results may be slightly biased.…”

“…Prior research on individual‐level innovation readiness is limited: our literature search showed that innovation readiness is related to product, service and open innovation 1 . The few available studies defined individual innovation readiness as ‘organizational members' beliefs, attitudes, and intentions regarding the extent to which innovations are needed and the organization's capacity to successfully make those innovation changes’ (Chen et al, 2014, p. 160). The present study does not focus on an organization's ability but on an individual 's ability to come up with or successfully implement innovations.…”

“…In addition to learning the change‐oriented values and behaviours of their transformational leader, employees can increase their willingness, and thus readiness, to innovate when they see support for innovation within their immediate work context (Afsar & Masood, 2018; Chen et al, 2014).
