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.

本研究探讨了个体创新特质与感知到的团队创新氛围影响员工对企业信息系统创新使用（innovative use, IU）的内在作用机制。在个体层面，本模型考察了五类变量对IU的影响，具体包括信息技术个人创新特质（personal innovativeness of information technology, PIIT）、创新能力（innovative ability, IA）、感知团队认同（perceived team identity, PTI）以及感知工作自主性（perceived job autonomy, PJA）。本研究通过情景实验与问卷调查的方式采集数据：共招募来自中国云南省与四川省的409名志愿者，将其随机划分为133个工作团队（每团队3至4人），要求受试者在指定工作时长内，使用Excel或SPSS的一项或多项特定功能完成指定任务。在剔除因个人原因退出实验的团队以及34份无效问卷后，最终对329份有效问卷开展回归分析，以探究各变量间的相互关联。研究结果表明，PIIT与IA对IU具有显著的正向影响；PTI与PJA在PIIT与IU的关系中发挥部分中介作用，而在IA与IU的关系中则发挥完全中介作用。本研究的发现深化了学界对个体创新特质与团队创新氛围如何影响个体行为的认知，可为期望开展员工培训、优化团队创新支持环境的管理者提供理论参考与实践指引。
