At PROCESOi we consider innovation to be a strategy, to increase a companies' present value, keep it ahead of its competitors and create sustainable growth.

Innovation is a three-phase process:

  Phase 1: Spark:  innovation surges due to an interest, inquisitiveness or concern about the present situation.

  Phase 2: Creation: unrest or problems can lead to brainstorming, and the unleashing of imagination to reach a solution or identify an opportunity that had not previously been apparent.

  Phase 3: Implementation: when the solution or opportunity is identified, an investment is made to make it happen with the aim of generating new income.

The study surveyed over 450 employees in Spain using an online questionnaire to identify the determinants of innovative work behaviors (IWB) in the workplace.  The survey questionnaire collected data from the respondents on their Innovative Work Behaviors, innovation capacity of the organization, personality characteristics, attitudes and task characteristics. Data analysis was done through data reduction techniques such as factor analysis, correlational analyses and analysis of variance.  Reliabilities of the various scales were evaluated using Cronbach's alpha, which indicated that all the scales showed a reliability in excess of 0.80 which is considered very reliable from the psychometric perspectives.  Correlational analysis was used to determine the determinants of the innovation capacity of firms.
