Top management in organizations have begun to realize that innovative employees add to the competitive edge of a company which serves to maintain their position in intense market competition. For this purpose, management needs to seek new ways to combine the social environment and employees in the workplace in an inextricable manner that supports innovation. The purpose of this paper was to examine the role of thriving at work and its effects on an individual's innovative behavior. Based on the socially embedded model of thriving, we aimed to assess the relevant related work on structured potential effects with relational ties (i.e., strong versus weak). Particularly, these ties affect the heedful relating differently. This study examined the antecedents of thriving at work and the innovative behavior among employees at a global investment company. Using partial least squares modeling on a sample of 412 observations (strong and weak ties), strong support was found for the theory-driven hypothesized relationships. The results contribute to a better understanding of the relational roles concerning recently emerging constructs of "thriving at work" and "positive organizational scholarship." The implications and limitations of this study are further discussed.
组织中的高层管理人员已开始意识到，创新型员工能增强公司的竞争优势，有助于公司在激烈的市场竞争中保持地位。为此，管理层需要寻找新方法，将工作场所的社会环境与员工紧密结合起来，以支持创新。本文旨在探讨工作中蓬勃发展的作用及其对个人创新行为的影响。基于蓬勃发展的社会嵌入模型，我们旨在评估与结构化潜在效应相关的工作，这些效应与关系纽带有关（即强关系与弱关系）。特别是，这些关系纽带对审慎关联的影响各不相同。本研究考察了一家全球投资公司员工工作中蓬勃发展的前因以及创新行为。通过对412个观测值（强关系和弱关系）的样本进行偏最小二乘建模，我们发现对理论驱动的假设关系有有力支持。研究结果有助于更好地理解与最近出现的“工作中蓬勃发展”和“积极组织学术”等概念相关的关系作用。本文进一步讨论了该研究的意义和局限性。
