Abstract

Purpose

Building on goal-regulation theory, we examine a) whether the regulatory elements of proactive goal generation, namely envisioning and planning, can sequentially stimulate individual innovative work behaviour, with planning acting as a mediator in the envisioning–innovation relationship and b) whether the link between envisioning and planning can be strengthened by the joint contributions of psychological empowerment and team support for innovation (TSI).

Design/Methodology/Approach

Data were collected from 268 employees of five Italian companies.

Findings

Hierarchical linear modelling analyses indicated that planning was positively predicted by envisioning, and partially mediated its effect on innovative work behaviour. In addition, employees who were highly involved in envisioning activities reported the highest levels of planning when both psychological empowerment and TSI were high.

Implications

The results of this research indicate that an effective means by which managers and practitioners can increase employees’ innovative efforts is by encouraging their involvement in proactive goal setting and goal planning activities. Additionally, our findings highlight the importance of creating an innovation-supportive team environment and nurturing individual psychological empowerment to increase the odds that employees will translate their envisioned proactive goals into effective action plans

Originality/Value

This is the first study to assess the envisioning–planning mechanism in relation to innovation, thus advancing our understanding of how individual and contextual conditions can amplify the effects of envisioning on planning activities.

Although envisioning and the idea generation component of innovative work behaviour are conceptually distinct constructs, empirically they are nonetheless highly interrelated. Indeed, the items of the envisioning scale are similar in content to those of the idea generation subscale of innovative work behaviour, and the Pearson correlation between the two measures was considerably large in our study: r = .48, p < .01. Accordingly, it was meaningful to examine whether the envisioning–planning-innovative work behaviour mediating relationship would be still significant after removing the three idea generation items from the innovative work behaviour scale. Results effectively indicated that, when omitting the idea generation items, innovative behaviour was significantly positively associated with both envisioning (γ = .17, p < .05) and planning (γ = .35, p < .01). Additionally, the effect of envisioning on innovative work behaviour was significantly partially mediated by planning (indirect effect = .20; 95 % CI  .11, .30). Taken together, these findings suggest that the idea generation items, despite being related to the envisioning items, did not significantly affect the relationships of envisioning and planning to innovative work behaviour.

Note that Preacher et al. (2010) suggest testing multilevel mediation with multilevel structural equation modelling, rather than through the standard multilevel modelling procedure (which was used in the present study). Indeed, the latter procedure does not completely separate between-group and within-group effects without introducing bias. Therefore, we replicated the mediation analyses by applying the multilevel structural equation modelling technique (Preacher et al. 2011). Results effectively paralleled those obtained through the traditional multilevel modelling procedure, indicating that a) envisioning was significantly positively related to planning (γ = .56, p < .01) and innovative work behaviour (γ = .25, p < .01); b) planning was significantly positively related to innovative work behaviour (γ = .26, p < .01); and c) planning significantly partially mediated the relationship between envisioning and innovative work behaviour (indirect effect = .15; 95 %, CI .06, .23).

However, when the cross-level three-way interaction term was included in equations, the cross-level two-way interactions became significant: γ71 = 2.11, p < .01, for the envisioning X aggregate TSI interaction term; γ91 = 2.48, p < .01, and for psychological empowerment X aggregate TSI. A subsequent simple slope test indicated that planning was highest when aggregate TSI was high and when either envisioning or psychological empowerment was high.

We further replicated analyses using group-mean centering, in order to test for the cross-level interactive effects, as separated from between-group interaction (Hofmann and Gavin 1998). Indeed, group-mean centering allows an accurate estimation of within-group slopes and minimizes the possibility of spurious cross-level interaction (Aguinis, Gottfredson, & Culpepper, 2013). Results confirmed the hypothesized cross-level three-way interaction effect of envisioning, psychological empowerment, and aggregate TSI on planning (γ = -.61, p < .01). Additionally, a test of slope differences indicated that the simple slope for high psychological empowerment-high TSI was significantly different from two out of the three alternative conditions: 1) high psychological empowerment-low TSI (t = 2.72, p < .05); and 2) low psychological empowerment-low TSI (t = 3.25, p < .01). Conversely, the difference between the combination of high psychological empowerment and high TSI and the combination of low psychological empowerment and high TSI was significant only at the .07 level (t = -1.88, p < .07). Overall, these results were generally consistent with those obtained from analyses with grand-mean centered predictors.”

Simple slopes: high psychological empowerment-high aggregate TSI: 1.20, p < .01; high psychological empowerment-low aggregate TSI: -.12, p < .01; low psychological empowerment-high aggregate TSI: 1.49, p < .01; low psychological empowerment-low TSI: -.32, p < .01.
