Abstract: Based on social cognitive theory, the influence from positive followership characteristics on employees’ innovation behavior is focused upon, and the mediating effect of perceived human resources management strength and the moderating effect of job embeddedness are verified. Based on the 415 survey data, the conclusions are as follows. Firstly, positive followership characteristics have positive influence on perceived human resources management strength. Secondly, perceived human resources management strength has positive influence on employees’ innovation behavior. Thirdly, perceived human resources management strength partially mediates the relationship between positive followership characteristics and employees’ innovation behavior. Fourthly, job embeddedness plays a positive moderating role between perceived human resources management strength and employees’ innovation behavior. The result provides new ideas for enterprises to guide employee innovation.

Key words: positive followership characteristics; perceived human resources management strength; employee innovation behavior; job embeddedness; social cognition
