pedagogical innovation, psychological capital, work passion, statistic mediationAbstract
The innovative work behavior constitutes a set of actions such as opportunities exploration, idea generation, idea promotion and idea realization. Its contextual determinants have been established by scientific literature. However, its dispositional roots remain the subject of investigation. The objective of this study was to analyze the direct and indirect effect of psychological capital and work passion on innovative work behavior. A cross-sectional empirical study was designed. A sample of 458 primary schools’ teachers (96.4% women, Xage = 34.67 years, Xseniority = 7.77 years) answered standardized measures of the variables. Mediation analyses indicated that harmonious passion partially mediates the positive effect of psychological capital on the four dimensions of innovative behavior. The results illuminate the importance of developing positive states at work as a way of promoting innovation. Limitations of the study carried out and lines for future research are indicated.
