Abstract
In recent years, new R&D institutions have emerged in China, distinguished from traditional research entities by their unique structure and objectives. This study explores the impact of person-job fit on the innovative behavior of 334 researchers within these institutions. Through hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrap methods, we find that person-job fit significantly enhances innovative behavior. Furthermore, self-efficacy and job involvement partially mediate this relationship. These findings offer practical implications for managers seeking to foster innovation by aligning employees' roles with their skills and motivations, thereby improving organizational effectiveness and supporting strategic business decisions.
期刊介绍：
Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
