Research on the Influence of Idiosyncratic Deals on Employees' Innovative Behavior Based on the Perspective of Perceived Insider Status

Abstract

The innovation of Employees depends on the intrinsic motivation of their work. This study hypothesizes that idiosyncratic deals can affect employee's affective commitment, enhance the intrinsic motivation of their work, and generate innovative behavior. In their relationship, perceived insider status is an important source of affective commitment. On the one hand, it can enhance the positive influence of idiosyncratic deals on affective commitment. On the other hand, it also partially explains the positive influence of idiosyncratic deals on affective commitment. The empirical study results show that the task idiosyncratic deals, flexible idiosyncratic deals and financial idiosyncratic deals significantly affect the affective commitment and employees’ innovative behavior. The perceived insider status negatively moderates the relationship between idiosyncratic deals and affective commitment. Based on this, our article proposes management practices.
