Abstract In this study, we explore a mechanism that explains how organizational innovation climate impacts individual innovative behavior. Using the data from 599 employees, we test the relationship among organizational climate for innovation and individual innovative behavior. The major research findings are: (1) organizational climate for innovation has positive and direct influence on individual innovative behavior; (2) 2rganizational climate for innovation could affect individual innovative behavior through intrinsic motivation. (3) task routineness has moderating effect between the organizational climate for innovation and individual innovative behavior. When task routineness is high, the effect of organizational climate to individual innovative behavior becomes week.
