Dark Side and Light Side Influence towards An Organizational Innovation
Andrew P. Ciganek
Abstract—
This study examined the influence that ‘dark side’
or negative and ‘light side’ or positive factors have towards an
organizational innovation. A large-scale survey was conducted
soliciting participants from a variety of industries representing
organizations that had recently made the decision to implement
a specific innovative technology. The results indicate that
coercion has a negative influence on the decision to implement
an organizational innovation while culture and climate as well
as management support have a positive influence.
