This study aims to explore the relationship between organizational innovation climate (OIC) and innovative work behavior (IWB), using psychological safety (PS) and knowledge sharing (KS) as mediating variables. Based on the social cognitive theory (SCT), this study proposes a conceptual framework to explore innovative work behavior. The structural model of the extended SCT model was tested using sample data from 446 R&D staff of high-tech enterprises in China. SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 23.0 were used to test the hypothetical model. The results indicated that organizational innovation climate was positively correlated with psychological safety and innovative work behavior. Psychological safety was positively correlated with innovative work behavior. Knowledge sharing was significantly and positively correlated with innovative work behavior. Moreover, Psychological safety and knowledge sharing play a significant mediating role in the relationship between organizational innovation climate and innovative work behavior, and psychological safety further improves individual innovative work behavior by influencing knowledge sharing among research team members. At the end of the study, this study thoroughly discussed the conclusions, practical implications, limitations, and future research directions of the study.
本研究旨在探讨组织创新氛围（OIC）与创新工作行为（IWB）之间的关系，将心理安全（PS）和知识共享（KS）作为中介变量。基于社会认知理论（SCT），本研究提出了一个概念框架来探究创新工作行为。利用来自中国高科技企业446名研发人员的样本数据对扩展SCT模型的结构模型进行了检验。使用SPSS 25.0和AMOS 23.0对假设模型进行了检验。结果表明，组织创新氛围与心理安全和创新工作行为呈正相关。心理安全与创新工作行为呈正相关。知识共享与创新工作行为显著正相关。此外，心理安全和知识共享在组织创新氛围与创新工作行为之间的关系中起显著中介作用，并且心理安全通过影响研究团队成员之间的知识共享进一步改善个体创新工作行为。在研究结尾，本研究深入讨论了研究的结论、实际意义、局限性和未来研究方向。
