A Research into the Mechanism of How a Combination of Creativity Self-efficacy and Psychological Safety Influences Employees'Deviant Innovation Behavior
Groundbreaking achievements brought by employees'deviant innovation play an important role in realizing the high-quality development in China.However,the literature has not yet studied the formation mechanism of deviant innovation behavior from the moti-vation perspective.Based on the social cognitive theory,this paper integrates employees'creative self-efficacy and psychological safety,and introduces performance approaching goal orientation as a mediator from the motivation perspective to explore its influence on deviant innovation behavior.The 468 employee data of three-time nodes from 53 technology firms show that creative self-efficacy and psychologi-cal safety can promote employees'deviant innovation behavior to a different extent,depending on how they are combined together.To be specific,a high-high combination is more able to drive deviant innovation than a low-low combination;a homodromous combination is more able to drive deviant innovation behavior than a heterodromous combination;and a high-low combination is more able to drive devi-ant innovation than a low-high combination.Employees'creativity self-efficacy and psychological safety mainly influence their deviant in-novation behavior via performance approaching goal orientation.Error management climate positively moderates the mediating role of per-formance approaching goal orientation.This study provides a new perspective on the formation mechanism of deviant innovation behavior,and provides practical guidance for firms on how to drive employees'deviant innovation behavior.
