Healthcare professionals' innovative work behavior (IWB) plays a key role in the development and implementation of innovative solutions in hospitals. However, relevant antecedents of IWB have not been fully captured to date. This study empirically examines the relationships between proactive personality, collaborative competence, innovation climate, and IWB. Hypotheses were tested using a sample of 442 chief physicians from 380 German hospitals. The results indicate a positive and significant influence of proactive personality, collaborative competence, and innovation climate on IWB, with collaborative competence having a stronger influence on IWB than innovation climate. Managers should note that important resources for IWB are accessible through a variety of actors and relationships. To leverage these resources and thus promote IWB, more emphasis should be placed on an employee's network.
医疗保健专业人员的创新工作行为（IWB）在医院创新解决方案的开发和实施中起着关键作用。然而，迄今为止，IWB 的相关前因并未被充分捕捉到。本研究实证检验了主动人格、协作能力、创新氛围与 IWB 之间的关系。研究使用了来自德国 380 家医院的 442 名首席医师的样本来检验假设。研究结果表明，主动人格、协作能力和创新氛围对 IWB 有积极的显著影响，其中协作能力对 IWB 的影响比创新氛围更强。管理者应该注意到，IWB 的重要资源可以通过各种参与者和关系获得。为了利用这些资源并促进 IWB，应该更加重视员工的网络。
