The Effect of Feedback Sources on Employee Innovation——Evidence from Digital Product Team
Combining social exchange theory and job demand-resource theory,this paper constructs a first-stage moderated media-tion model to explore the relationship between feedback sources,psychological contract breach,job engagement,and employee innovation.Empirical research is conducted by collecting questionnaire data of 101 team leaders and 547 team members from digital products teams,the results show that:team leader feedback is positively correlated with employee innovation;psychological contract breach negatively mediates the relationship between team leader feedback and employ-ee innovation;job engagement positively mediates the relationship between team leader feedback and employee innova-tion;team member feedback is an important moderator variable,which negatively moderates the relationship between team leader feedback and psychological contract breach,and the relationship between team leader feedback and job en-gagement.Besides,team member feedback negatively moderates the indirect effect of team leader feedback on employee innovation through psychological contract breach or job engagement.This paper has a certain reference for enterprises to use feedback sources to reduce employee psychological contract breach,enhance job engagement and promote employee innovation.
