Abstract

The purpose of this study is to synthesize empirical studies on innovative behavior conducted on Korean corporate employees through meta-analysis and to systematically identify the factors that influence innovative behavior. The factors that had the greatest effect on innovative behavior were identified in the following order: absorption ability, workplace spirituality, job stress recovery experience, speech behavior, learning agility, innovation performance, creativity, creative self-efficacy, informal learning, and motivation. Furthermore, dividing the influencing factors into individual, job, and organizational dimensions confirmed that in order the individual, job, and organizational dimension factors had great influence on innovative behavior. Differences were also found depending on the type of company, as in private sector companies team trust, absorption ability, workplace spirituality, job stress recovery experience, and speech behavior were more important, while in public sector companies, job crafting, creativity, self-directed learning, positive psychological capital, and suitability of supervisors were more important. This study contributed to the expansion of research on innovative behavior and provided clues on what factors should be focused on to improve innovative behavior in Korean companies.

Keywords:
