Attribution and its influence on innovation implementation
Introduction
The business environment is changing rapidly and getting quite competitive. Innovation has, therefore, become very necessary in ensuring the survival
organizations. Organizations have to constantly come up with new ideas that will make the organization grow. For a long time, researchers have been considering the implementation of innovation as automatic, and therefore, they have been focusing their research on the adoption of innovation. However, time and changes in the business environment have proved that adopting innovation is not enough. We also need to consider the implementation of that innovation for it to be successful. Employees are an integral part of anything that happens within the organization, and that includes even innovation. Therefore, their role in the implementation process cannot be understated. Their attribution to the adoption of innovation can either be constructive or deceptive intentionality. The way they perceive and react towards an innovation determines how successful it will be (Choi et al, 2019). Summary
The week's journal is an article by Choi et al that was published in 2019 and is titled, 'Why are we having this innovation? Employee attributions of innovation and
implementation behavior.' the authors use a case study to try and explain the behavior of employees towards innovation using the attribution theory. Due to the changes and competitiveness in the business world, organizations have to embrace innovation to grow and survive. Research shows that focusing on the
adoption of innovation is not enough; implementation too has to be considered. The role of employees in the success of innovation is an active one. Previous
researches had their focus on what expectations of future utility the innovation use had when exploring employee behavior toward innovation. The authors of this article focused on attribution while examining employee behavior towards innovation (Choi et al, 2019). The authors define and explain key concepts of their research in their literature review. Innovation is defined as a new idea, practice, or object that an organization adopts. The authors outline and define various innovation
implementation behavior, which is active, passive, and avoidance. The concept of employee attribution of innovation to organizational intentionality is also discussed, and under this, two types of attributions to intentionality are discussed. These are attribution to constructive intentionality and attribution to deceptive
intentionality. Implementation behavior and the effectiveness of innovation are also covered in this section. The authors also discuss implementation behavior

as the mediator of the effects of attribution to innovation on the effectiveness of innovation (Choi et al, 2019). This case study was conducted in China and Korea and involved a population of 84 managers and 397 employees. The study involved assessing the variables in the research at a scale of 1-5. 61% of the research population responded to the study. The confirmatory factor analysis was used to confirm how distinct the variables were. The research findings showed that constructive
intentionality positively but indirectly affects the effectiveness of innovation. This happened because constructive intentionality attribution affects active implementation positively and directly and also affects implementation avoidance negatively and directly (Choi et al, 2019). Constructive Intentionality and its Impact on Innovation Implementation
In constructive intentionality, employees develop positive attitudes and engagement behavior with innovation. They embrace innovation. Intentionality is when
we use the power of the mind to support or stand for something (Turner, 2017). Constructive intentionality leads employees to believe that the intentions of an organization towards an innovation adoption are genuine. This way their commitment is increased, they develop a sense of self-control and become proactive. The way innovation is implemented will determine to a great extent whether it will be successful or not. Developing the idea for innovation is important but implementing the idea is more important. It is critical to come up with a strategy that will ensure that innovation implementation is successful (Choi et al, 2019). Employees are
an active part of any organization's implementation and will, therefore, significantly impact the implementation of an innovation. Under no circumstance can innovation take place without employees being involved. Often, innovation implementations within organizations fail because employees lack an innovative mindset.
Such employees tend to either withdraw from the innovation implementation or create barriers to the implementation. When this happens, even if an
innovation is implemented, its chances of being successful are slim.

When talking about the implementation of an innovation, the constructive intentionality of employees is something that we cannot understate. When employees
develop constructive intentionality, they will embrace, support, and get ready for the implementation of innovation (Schaarschmidt, 2016). Attribution-based Perspective and its Impact on Successful Innovation Implementation
As human beings, we tend to believe that every behavior or act has a cause for it. Attribution is, therefore defined as the act of individuals explaining the causes of their behaviors. An attribution-based perspective is consequently one where people seek causal explanations of how things happen. They attribute intentions to
be either positive or negative. Whenever an organization makes decisions, employees tend to attribute this to the motives and intentions of the organization.
This will determine how they will interpret and respond to those decisions (Perry & Hamm, 2017). The success of the implementation of innovation greatly depends on the people, and by people, we mean the employees and anyone else within the organization who can lead to the success or failure of the innovation. People- related issues within the organization, therefore, need to be taken care of. There before, employees were shaped by the organizational culture. However, things
are different today because the organization is defined by the value that the employees within the organization have collectively. Employees can, therefore, positively or negatively impact many things within the organization, and this includes innovation. The reaction of employees towards innovation will be determined by the attribution that they will attach to the innovation implementation (Palazzeschi et al, 2018). When it comes to innovation implementation, the kind of intentionality that the employees will attribute to will determine their perception of organizational innovation. The organization's innovation-decision can be attributed to the
positive or negative intentions of the employees. If employees feel that the organization is adopting a certain innovative idea so that they can make the organization successful and ensure the well-being of employees, the attribution will be positive, and they will embrace and support the idea of innovation. If however, they
feel that the organization has adopted the idea to manipulate and exploit them, the attribution will be negative, and they will resist the idea. The only way organizations can ensure that employees develop positive attributions is to include them in decision making (Choi et al, 2019). Conclusion
Innovation is an important part of any organization in the current business world. It enables businesses to keep up with the competition and to grow. The adoption of an innovation is essential, but its chances of being successful are slim if its implementation will not be considered. The implementation of an innovative idea within an organization greatly depends on the employees. The attitudes and behavior of employees toward a creative idea will make it successful or a failure. Constructive intentionality leads employees to be positive to an innovation, thus increasing its chances of being successful. The kind of attribution that employees attach to an innovative idea will also significantly determine its success or failure.
