Why should we strive to let them thrive? Exploring the links between homecare professionals thriving at work, employee ambidexterity, and innovative behavior by Terje Slåtten, Barbara Rebecca Mutonyi, Gudbrand Lien

“…Results The main results from the empirical study can be summarized as follows: (i) TAW was found to be positively linked to both EA (b = 0.46) and IIB (b = 0.22); (ii) TAW and EA explained about 30% (R2 = 0.29) the variance in IIB; (iii) The relationship between TAW and IIB was found to be mediated by the EA; (iv) TAW was positively linked to each of the two dimensions that constitute EA. However, when comparing the individual strength of linkages, TAW was found to be most strongly linked to the exploitation dimension of EA (b = 0.50) and less strongly linked to the exploration dimension of EA (b = 0.35). …”
