摘要：The study aims to investigate the effect of the individual innovativeness behavior, which may be the precursor of employees' behaviors towards innovation, on the employees’ innovative behavior and the mediating role of the intrinsic motivation on this effect. According to the results of the survey which 161 surgeons working in public and private hospitals in Turkey participated in, the relationship between three sub-dimensions (resistance to change, opinion leadership and openness to experience) and the employees’ innovative behavior was determined. Moreover, there was also a significantly positive correlation between intrinsic motivation and openness to experience. Furthermore, one of the emerging results is that the partial intermediary role of the intrinsic motivation has an influence in the effect of the openness to experience, which is one of the sub-dimensions of individual innovativeness behavior on the employees’ innovative behavior.
