Sažetak
The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of micro-innovation processes at the workplace. We consider how task interdependence moderates the job-level innovation supply and demand relationship. Specifically, by differentiating between initiated and received task interdependence, we examine how the direction of workflow translates innovativeness as a job requirement into different aspects of employee innovative work behaviors (creativity and innovation implementation). The multi-source data was collected on the sample of 85 employees and 20 managers from two public agencies, as a preliminary study of a larger longitudinal action research project. Data were analyzed using moderated hierarchical regression analyses. The study findings revealed that two aspects of task interdependence have a differing moderating role in the positive relationship between job-innovation requirements and innovative work behaviors. While received task interdependence makes the relationship between job innovativeness and both creativity and innovation implementation even more positive, initiated task interdependence makes this relationship negative.
