摘要
Innovation is widely recognised as an important issue. It is important to understand which individual characteristics promote innovative behaviour. This is particularly relevant for research and development (R&D) employees who are expected to contribute innovative ideas in their firms. R&D employees in high-end technology industries are the subjects of study in this research. Statistic methods, such as regression analysis, ANOVA, and ANCOVA, are employed to examine several hypotheses. The results reveal that personality traits defined as "openness to experiences" and "extraversion" are positively associated with innovative behaviour. Conscientiousness regarding accountability in work also spurs innovative behaviour. An individual who has the extraversion trait combined with a lifestyle defined as "practical leadership" is both extroverted and willing to absorb new knowledge and a steady, responsible practitioner.
