Abstract: Using the perspective of person-job fit, this study identifies the heterogeneous effects of flexible work arrangements on innovative employee behaviour. Applying polynomial regression with response surface analysis, this study analyses a sample of 315 paired executives and employees from 26 IT enterprises in China. The research finds that (1) the level of innovative employee behaviour is higher when the organizational supply for flexible work fits their needs and the organizational demand for flexible work fits their ability than when they are incorrectly fit. (2) A higher level of supply-need fit leads to a higher level of innovative employee behaviour. (3) The level of innovative employee behaviour approaches its summit when the demand-ability fit is at the moderate level.
