Abstract
This study aims to conceptualize ‘focus towards innovation’ as a team-level construct and develop a theoretically grounded and empirically robust mechanism to measure it within organizational settings. A rigorous multi-method design was used to develop and validate the team focus towards innovation (TFI) scale. Factor analysis on the analysis sample (n1 = 256) and validation sample (n2 = 216) were used to identify and validate the three-factorial structure of the TFI construct with sub-dimensions – inner focus, other focus, and outer focus towards innovation. This unique three-dimensional factor structure, and its item-level composition are the major contributions of this study
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning.
The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
