The competitive nature of enterprises requires organizations to foster an environment that encourages employee innovation that leads to profitability and customer satisfaction. Organizational innovation is influenced by several factors with employee behaviour being one of the important factors. Employees contribute in the innovation process and thus, it is important for organizations to understand employee expectations to demonstrate innovative work behaviour in order to create and maintain an innovative work culture. In the present study, a conceptual model based on culture, reward and program, training, compensations, leadership and systems was tested to assess that impact on employee expectations leading to innovative work behaviour. The study was conducted in the context of city-state of Singapore due to its significant emphasis on promoting and nurturing employee innovation. The model was tested using empirical data collected through a survey of employees in Singapore. The results indicate that while culture, rewards and training programs have a direct relationship on employee expectations to demonstrate innovative work behaviour, when considered together, leadership and systems are significantly and positively associated with employee expectations. These factors are usually under the control of organizations and can be enhanced through systematic interventions, thereby providing practice managers an avenue to improve employee innovation behaviour. The other implications of the findings and future scope are discussed.

This study compared and analyzed the affective areas between innovative elementary schools and ordinary elementary schools for the development of Bitgoeul Innovation School in Gwangju Metropolitan City. The subjects of analysis were 318 freshman who graduated from innovative elementary school and 435 freshman who graduated from ordinary elementary schools. Students' self-esteem, antisociality, anxiety, and stress were compared between innovative schools and ordinary schools, and multiple regression analysis was conducted using the correlation between variables with self-esteem as a dependent variable and the others as independent variables. The results of study were as follows: First, the correlation of affective variables of freshman who graduated from each of the two types of schools showed a similar tendency. Second, in both schools, as the independent variable antisociality, anxiety, and stress increased, the dependent variable self-esteem decreased. Third, the difference in affective factors between the freshman who graduated from Bitgoeul Innovative Elementary School and the freshman who graduated from ordinary elementary schools was analyzed, and the results showed that there was no significant statistical difference in all variables. Based on the results, a plan for the development of Bitgoeul Innovation schools was suggested.

Conducted as an ethnographic examination of science teaching and learning in an Innovative Middle School in Korea, this study employs sociocultural theory to examine how structures afford and limit student participation in an innovative school designed to promote student-centered learning. Data includes teacher and student interviews, student responses to a questionnaire, classroom observations, and analysis of video recordings of ten lessons in two in two 8th grade science classes. Using structure|agency dialectic theory, we identify and describe some structures that afford and limit teacher and student agency at the micro (science classrooms), meso (school), and macro (Korean society) levels to raise some questions about current reform measures, such as innovation schools, that seek to position classroom teachers as agents for change in science education reform in Korea. Findings suggest that while teachers and school administrators play an essential role in structuring learning opportunities at the meso and micro levels, they have limited agency to address structural constraints originating at the macro-level, which can negatively impact teaching and learning in the science classroom. We offer implications for policy and practice and argue the need for more qualitative research, informed by sociocultural theory, to inform science education reform efforts in Korea.

This study empirically investigated cultural differences in the amount of information provided by management accounting information systems as well as the differences in organizational performance according to variations in the amount of information. Through cluster analysis, we classified sample firms into five organizational cultural types: Semi-innovative, innovative, bureaucratic, semi-bureaucratic and supportive. The results showed that in the semi-innovative firms, a greater amount of the traditional and advanced types of information is produced, while in bureaucratic firms, traditional information is much more provided than in the innovative, semi-bureaucratic and supportive firms. These results confirmed cultural differences in the amount of information produced. According to the results of this study, it was found that in organizational performance, the rankings of semi-innovative firms, which have the highest scores in the amount of information, are also the highest, and the performance scores in innovative firms are generally next to those of semi-innovative firms. Hence, it is concluded that there are cultural differences in the amount of information provided, and these differences affect organizational performance.

The authors emphasize that the Republic of Kazakhstan is characterized by significant differences in the level of innovation capacity of regions. This article summarizes that the result of the monitoring of innovation potential of the regions are prerequisites for innovation policy adjustments, make it more dynamic, which ultimately contributes to its effectiveness. So, there are substantial differences in the level of innovation potential of the regions in the Republic of Kazakhstan, meanwhile it is noted that most regions' innovative features and potential can be assessed as average. After analysis of previously used methods, it can be concluded that the ranking of the level of innovation potential of regions takes place in the following order: High level of innovative potential: East Kazakhstan (3 matches), Almaty city (2 matches), Pavlodar (2 matches) and Zhambyl regions (2 matches); Low level of innovative potential: Almaty (2 matches), Mangistau (2 matches), West Kazakhstan (2 matches), Kyzylorda oblast (2 matches). In conclusion, it is emphasized that monitoring of innovative potential of regions creates the preconditions for innovation policy adjustments. These adjustments make the policy more dynamic and contribute to its effectiveness in the long run.

This study investigated the relationship between emotional leadership with innovative behavior and job engagement, and verified the mediating effect of job engagement in order to facilitate theoretical and practical development of emotional leadership. For empirical analysis, data were collected from the sample of 260 employees of public institutions. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 to verify the hypothetical relationship. Results showed that emotional leadership was positively related to job engagement but not innovative behavior. Job engagement was positively related to innovative behavior. And further, job engagement is found as playing as a positively full mediator on the relationship between emotional leadership and innovative behavior. These results confirmed that the job engagement of the members formed by emotional leadership in public organizations, such as general companies, has a positive influence on innovative behavior. Finally, limitations were indicated and some possible directions for Innovative behavior and its relationship were suggested for future studies.
