Abstract: Abstract Employee-initiated innovation is an inexhaustible driving force for corporate innovation and affects the sustainable development of corporate competitiveness, and the management model plays a significant role in influencing employee-initiated innovation behavior. Based on social cognitive theory, organizational support theory and goal-setting theory, a moderated mediation model is constructed to explore the influence mechanism and boundary conditions between participative management and employee-initiated innovation behavior. The study was conducted with 281 corporate employees, and the results of the questionnaire were statistically analyzed. The results show that participative management has a significant positive influence on employees’ proactive innovation behavior; creative self-efficacy and organizational support play a partially mediating role between participative management and employees’ proactive innovation behavior; job satisfaction plays a negative moderating role between participative management and employees’ proactive innovation behavior, while job satisfaction weakens the influence of creative self-efficacy and organizational support on participative management and employees’ proactive innovation behavior. Job satisfaction partially mediates the influence mechanism between participative management and employee-initiated innovation behavior. It reveals the “black box” of the relationship between participative management and employee-initiated innovation and enriches the study of the factors influencing employee-initiated innovation.
