Abstract
An online survey was conducted at 26 universities located in Shanxi Province, China, to investigate the effects of organizational innovation climate, individual learning ability, and internal work motivation on coaches' innovation behavior. A questionnaire was used to collect data from coaches in Shanxi Province, and a total of 486 responses were considered complete and available for analysis. The SPSS program and AMOS were applied to analyze the effects of organizational innovation climate on coaches' innovation behaviors, and the mediating roles of individual learning ability and internal work motivation between organizational innovation climate and coaches' innovation behaviors, respectively. The results of the study reiterated the previous findings that organizational innovation climate has a significant effect on innovation behavior. In addition, individual learning ability and internal work motivation mediated the effect between organizational innovation climate and coaches' innovative behavior, respectively. These findings provide a knowledge base for future research, and the results of this study are expected to provide guidelines for the development of competitive sports in Shanxi Province.
