Abstract
This research investigated the moderating role of team climate for innovation on the association between innovative work behavior and conflict with coworkers. In the academic literature, innovation was found to be an important phenomenon for organizations. However, it can also lead to negative outcomes including, but not limited to, conflict with coworkers. Based on the four-factor model of West (1996), team climate for innovation can be measured using the team climate inventory (TCI), and was found to be a promising work climate to enhance innovative work behavior. Using a convenience sample, 170 participants filled in an online questionnaire. Results revealed a significant positive correlation between innovative work behavior and coworker conflict. A nonsignificant interaction effect was found for team climate for innovation on the association. In order to improve future research, the focus should be put on improving the scales used in this research and distinguishing between relationship conflict and task conflict.
