ABSTRACT: Based on conservation of resources theory, this study
explores the impact of employee psychological capital on innovative behavior
and the role of job embeddedness and internal social capital in this process.
The results of cross-level data analysis show that psychological capital can
effectively predict employee innovative behavior; psychological capital
predicts employee
innovative behavior through job embeddedness; internal social capital not only moderates the
impact of psychological capital on job embeddedness, but also moderates the
indirect relationship of psychological capital affecting innovative behavior
through job embeddedness. The results of this study reveal the underlying
mechanisms of how employees’ psychological capital drive innovative behavior from the perspective of
social relationships resources and
provide new ideas for effectively guiding enterprise innovation management
practice.
