“匠心促创新”:工匠精神对员工双元创新行为的影响机制

"Ingenuity Promotes Innovation":The Influence Mechanism of Craftsman Spirit on Employees'Ambidextrous Innovation Behavior

弘扬工匠精神是“中国制造2025”战略实施背景下,推动产品提质增效、实现创新驱动发展战略的重要途径。然而,目前关于工匠精神影响员工创新行为的中介机制及边界条件的研究较为缺乏。基于工作价值观理论和资源保存理论,构建以工作繁荣为中介变量、差错管理氛围为调节变量的理论模型,利用SPSS、Amos等软件对414名员工数据进行统计分析,探讨工匠精神通过影响员工工作繁荣促进双元创新行为的作用机制。结果表明:工匠精神对员工双元创新行为具有积极影响,工作繁荣在这一关系中发挥部分中介作用,开放导向差错管理氛围正向调节工作繁荣与双元创新行为之间的直接关系以及工匠精神通过工作繁荣与双元创新行为的间接关系,责备导向差错管理氛围负向调节工作繁荣与双元创新行为之间的直接关系以及工匠精神通过工作繁荣与双元创新行为的间接关系。

In response to the Made in China 2025 strategy,it is critical to improve product quality and efficiency and realize the innovation-driven development strategy by carrying forward the craftsman spirit.The craftsman spirit is not only the basic element of enterprise technological innovation,but also helps to promote the transformation and upgrading to a manufacturing power and get rid of the distressing situation at the end of the global division of value for a long time.Therefore,how to cultivate and enhance the craftsman spirit has become a research hotspot in the field of organization management.Although the academic circle has given a constructive response to the connotation and historical responsibility of the craftsman spirit,as the micro-carrier of the craftsman spirit,the ideas and behavioral strategies of employees in enterprises have not received enough attention.Therefore,it is of great research value to explore the relationship between the craftsman spirit and employees'innovative behavior at the individual level.In this study,individual duality is extended to the field of innovation behavior,and on this basis,the topic of how craftsman spirit can effectively improve employees'dual innovation potential is discussed.Following the work value theory and resource conservation theory,this study constructs a theoretical model with work prosperity as the mediating variable and error management climate as the moderating variable and explores the mechanism by which the craftsman spirit promoted the bi-variate innovation behavior by influencing the work prosperity of employees.This study collects cognitive data from employees through a questionnaire survey,with 414 valid questionnaires remained.Except for population information,other variables are measured using the five-point Likert scale.Finally,SPSS and its plug-in process and Amos are used to analyze the data and verify the hypotheses of this study.The results show that craftsman spirit has a significant positive effect on employees'dual innovation.To be more detailed,the pursuit of excellence in work values can stimulate individual intrinsic motivation and growth needs,enhance employees'sense of belief in completing task goals,and thus make them more likely to achieve success through exploratory or exploitative innovative behavior.Thriving at work plays a mediating role between craftsman spirit and employees'dual innovation behavior.Furthermore,an open-oriented error management climate positively moderates the relationship between thriving at work and dual innovation behavior and enhances the mediating role of thriving at work.Employees working in organizations in an open-oriented error management climate are more able to confront errors and have positive responses after errors occur,daring to take on unknown risks through innovative behavior.A blame-oriented error management climate negatively moderates the relationship between thriving at work and dual innovation and weakens the mediating role of thriving at work because employees working in organizations with the atmosphere of blame-oriented error management tend to view errors with a negative attitude,thus avoiding innovation as much as possible,thereby reducing the risk of making mistakes and suppressing employees'dual innovation behavior.The research contribution of this paper is mainly reflected in the following three aspects.First,this study breaks through the limit of the traditional single perspective,constructs the individual binary incentive mechanism from the dual perspective,and expands the empirical research on employee innovation behavior.Second,it responds to the call of the academic circle to expand the research on the effect of craftsman spirit.Finally,the theoretical demonstration and empirical test provide a new way to explain the effect of craftsman spirit on employees'dual innovation behavior,deepen the understanding of work prosperity and enrich relevant empirical research.Therefore,enterprises should keep improving various management systems,provide institutional guarantees for carrying forward and cultivating the spirit of craftsmanship,pay close attention to the psychological experience of employees,and vigorously promote employees to build and maintain a positive and enterprising spirit in an open and tolerant atmosphere for error management.
