Team innovation and citizenship performance: The effect of collective regulatory focus and perceived organizational support

Abstract

This study investigates the impact perceived organizational support and a team climate for innovation has on team innovation and citizenship performance. Collective regulatory focus is utilized as a mediating process to assess the team's motivational behavior and how it affects the team's performance. The study was conducted by first surveying team members working throughout a manufacturing organization and then having the employees' immediate supervisors rate their performance in the two key performance areas of innovation and citizenship. The results demonstrated that perceived organizational support played an active role in moderating team performance; however, it did not appear to be related to the team climate for innovation.
