A psychological workplace innovation construct

Adela J. McMurray and Don Scott

Chapter 9 in A Research Agenda for Workplace Innovation, 2023, pp 147-166 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Determining the way an organisation is oriented or how to change its orientation are several factors that influence organisational innovation. Thus, it is essential that management be able to assess the orientation to innovation of relevant organisational employees. A major component of an individual’s orientation is their mental or psychological orientation. This chapter identifies an instrument that can be used to assess an individual’s psychological orientation within an organisation. The instrument has been used, and assessed, in several different countries. Examples of the relationship between workplace innovation and various concepts have been identified in countries such as Australia, Pakistan, the US, Canada, Europe, Thailand and Vietnam. However, it is possible that an instrument of this nature may need to be modified to be fit for use in a different country or culture, or other circumstances. Apart from identifying the instrument and providing references to publications where it has been used and evaluated, the chapter provides an appendix that identifies how such instruments can be evaluated.
