Abstract
Due to rapid technological changes, organisations need to innovate products and processes to remain economically viable. However, innovations do not always succeed in their implementation, amongst others because of lack of acceptance of innovation by employees. The goal of this study is to examine innovation adoption of employees. This study investigates the role of employee perception of innovation, as well as individual and organisational characteristics in relation to the actual use of innovations by employees. By an increased understanding of the factors that explain innovation adoption, useful insights are gained for the management of innovation. We advise managers who wish to increase innovation adoption of their employees to implement workplace innovation, encourage innovative behaviour of their employees, and increase their perceived usefulness of innovation and perceived ease of use of innovation.
