Abstract

Deviant innovation is an important way for enterprises to break through innovation bottleneck. With the reshaping of employment relationship, the self-oriented and value-driven protean career attitude has gradually attracted academic attention. Based on self-determination theory, conservation of resources theory and affective events theory, this paper explores the dual-path mechanism and boundary condition of the impact of protean career attitude on deviant innovation, and constructs a theoretical model: protean career attitude promotes deviant innovation through harmonious work passion and inhibits deviant innovation through workplace loneliness, supervisor developmental feedback positively moderates the relationship between the protean career attitude and harmonious work passion, negatively moderates the relationship between the protean career attitude and workplace loneliness, and moderates the indirect dual-path effect of the protean career attitude on the deviant innovation through the harmonious work passion and workplace loneliness.
