Could ambidextrous learning improve employees’ disruptive innovation behavior? A double-mediation model

This study investigated the influence mechanism of ambidextrous learning on disruptive innovation behavior and the mediating effects of error management climate and creative self-efficacy. I conducted both online and offline surveys with 452 employees in private enterprises, state-owned enterprises, and institutions. The results indicate that ambidextrous learning predicts employees’ disruptive innovation behavior, and both error management climate and creative self-efficacy have significant partial mediating effects on the relationship between ambidextrous learning and disruptive innovation behavior. This study contributes to ambidextrous learning and disruptive innovation behavior research and advances scholarship into aspects of employees’ disruptive innovation behavior in enterprises.
