Abstract:
Innovation is an important means to improve productivity, technological progress, and competitive advantage. Staff innovation is the main source of enterprise innovation. Based on the theory of intrinsic motivation, this paper tries to test the intermediary role of psychological authorization between authorized leadership and individual innovation in organizations.
Data were collected from 346 valid questionnaires as well as a review of related literature, and reliability analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis were carried out by exploratory factor analysis.
It is concluded that both authorized leadership style and psychological authorization significantly affect employee innovation performance in a positive way, and authorized leadership style positively affects employee psychological authorization. At the same time, psychological authorization plays an intermediary role between authorized leadership and employee performance. Managers must be aware of the characteristics, needs, and knowledge of the value of employees so that they can empower leaders according to their needs. In addition, the important role of intellectual capital, staff and organizational innovation must be emphasized in order to create a supportive atmosphere
