Abstract

The aim of this paper is to compile an up-to-date and academically grounded study into organizational ecosystems in terms of employee innovativeness. Here we are concerned with the dimensions of innovation involving traditionally measured forms of innovation, hidden innovation and social innovation including interactions and relationships. The methodology used involved systems model formulation following the stages of the identification of the main structures, relationships and components, model building, development of an evolved organizational ecosystem model, and analysis of the model. The research question addressed ‘what are the main components of organizational ecosystems in terms of employee innovativeness?’ The contribution of the paper is to bring together findings on the characteristics of organizational ecosystems in terms of the dimensions of employee innovativeness.

Keywords: organization, ecosystem, employee, innovativeness.
