Abstract: Abstract The present study proposes that psychological ownership for the organization and psychological empowerment are important determinants of individual innovative behavior, and serve as moderators of the climate–innovation relationship. In a study of 804 employees from 157 firms in China, we found that both of these two psychological variables had a positive relationship with individual innovative behavior. Additionally, we found psychological empowerment served as a moderator of the climate–innovation relationship, such that the relationship was stronger for individuals high in psychological empowerment. This study contributes to further understanding of the climate–innovation relationship.
