Philip Kardell · International Journal of Innovation and Learning · 2023
This article applies the novel possibilities of necessary condition analysis in order to evaluate the relationship between employee satisfaction, innovation and error culture. Based on a sample of 165 respondents from Denmark and Germany, this article finds that an error management culture is a necessary condition for innovation and employee satisfaction. The findings suggest that a high degree of innovation requires a high level of error management culture, whereas a high degree of satisfaction only requires a low degree of error management culture. Adding a new method to this field, the article hopes to set a new baseline for further investigation into the relevance of error culture. This paper contributes theoretically, practically, and methodologically to the field of error research.
