This study explores the underlying mechanisms by which individual innovative characteristics and the perceived team innovation atmosphere affect employees’ innovative use (IU) of enterprise information systems. At the individual level, the model examines the impact of five variables on IU, namely, personal innovativeness of information technology (PIIT), innovative ability (IA), perceived team identity (PTI), and perceived job autonomy (PJA). Data were collected through scenario experiments and questionnaire surveys. A total of 409 volunteers from the Yunnan and Sichuan provinces in China were randomly divided into 133 work teams (with three to four people in each team) and asked to complete a specific task using one or more specific functions of Excel or SPSS within a given work time. After excluding teams that left the experiment for personal reasons and 34 invalid questionnaires, a regression analysis was conducted on 329 valid questionnaires to explore the interrelationships between variables. The findings demonstrate that PIIT and IA have a significant positive impact on IU. PTI and PJA partially mediate the relationship between PIIT and IU, whereas they fully mediate the relationship between IA and IU. The findings have improved our understanding of the role of individual innovative characteristics and team innovation climate in affecting individual behavior and could provide guidance for managers who hope to train employees and reform teams’ innovative support environments.

本研究探讨个体创新特征与感知团队创新氛围影响员工对企业信息系统的创新使用（Innovative Use, IU）的内在机制。在个体层面，该模型考察了五个变量对IU的影响，即信息技术个人创新性（Personal Innovativeness of Information Technology, PIIT）、创新能力（Innovative Ability, IA）、感知团队认同（Perceived Team Identity, PTI）和感知工作自主性（Perceived Job Autonomy, PJA）。数据通过情景实验与问卷调查的方式收集。来自中国云南和四川两省的409名志愿者被随机分为133个工作团队（每队3至4人），并被要求在规定工作时间内使用Excel或SPSS的一项或多项特定功能完成一项具体任务。排除因个人原因退出实验的团队及34份无效问卷后，研究对329份有效问卷进行了回归分析，以探究变量间的相互关系。研究结果表明，PIIT与IA对IU具有显著正向影响；PTI与PJA在PIIT与IU的关系中起部分中介作用，而在IA与IU的关系中起完全中介作用。该研究结果深化了我们对个体创新特征与团队创新氛围在影响个体行为中作用的理解，并可为希望培训员工及改革团队创新支持环境的管理者提供指导。
