Research on the Mechanism of the Effect of Employment Model on Employees’ Innovation Behavior: Proposal of Conceptual Model

Abstract

This article focuses on two employment modes of fixed-term and non-fixed-term labor contracts. Based on the theory of social exchange, social identification and work-stress, this paper proposes a conceptual model of the mechanism of employment mode’s impact on employees’ innovative behavior. The article systematically expounds the direct impact of the employment model on employee innovation behavior through work safety and organizational identity, and the indirect impact of the employment model on the fulfillment of corporate psychological contracts and employee responses. This article explores the mechanism of the employment model’s impact on employees’ innovative behavior, and is committed to opening the “black box” of the relationship between the employment model and employee’s innovative behavior.
