GenAI and employee innovativeness: How employees' sensing capabilities and the capabilities to use and evaluate GenAI shape their innovative work behavior — Held & Heubeck (2025)
Innovation is critical for organizational success, with employees’ innovative work behavior (IWB) forming a key microfoundation of firm-level innovation. While prior research has identified various antecedents of IWB, the role of generative AI (GenAI) remains underexplored. We address this gap by investigating how employees’ capabilities to use and evaluate GenAI influence their IWB. Building on the dynamic capabilities view, we further explore how employees’ capabilities to sense technological shifts shape the development of these GenAI capa- bilities and ultimately foster IWB. We test our…
