TY - JOUR T1 - An Empirical Study into the Individual-Level Antecedents to Employee-Driven Innovation JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2020 A1 - Chukwuemeka K. Echebiri KW - employee-driven innovation KW - job autonomy KW - need for autonomy KW - self-leadership AB - The purpose of this paper is to link individual-level factors (such as need for autonomy, self-leadership, and perceived job autonomy) to employee-driven innovation with self-leadership as an indirect link. The study is based on survey data of 315 employees in the banking sector, collected in two waves where the variables were separated in time. The hypothesized model was analysed using a structural equation model on Stata. First, it was found that the need for autonomy had an indirect association with employee-driven innovation through self-leadership. Second, the findings show that self-leadership had a positive relationship with employee-driven innovation. Finally, there was no support found for the moderating role of perceived job autonomy between self-leadership and employee-driven innovation. The findings in this paper are important because they identify individual-level antecedents of employee-driven innovation.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - A Technology-Assisted Design Methodology for Employee-Driven Innovation in Services JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2015 A1 - Kentaro Watanabe A1 - Ken Fukuda A1 - Takuichi Nishimura KW - design methodology KW - employee-driven innovation KW - observation KW - representation KW - service design KW - service innovation AB - The role of employees is becoming more important in managing complex service processes and in serving the variety of customer needs in the service industry. Within efforts to promote innovation in service fields, employee-driven innovation and service design are gaining attention. Though the relationship between employee-driven innovation and service design has been discussed, the effectiveness of service-design methodologies for employee-driven innovation has not been studied sufficiently. In this article, we propose a technology-assisted design methodology to promote employee-driven innovation in services. Through our case study at an elderly-care facility, we confirmed that the proposed design methodology assisted by the communication support system could trigger employee-driven innovation and expand its influence in the service field.
