Bridging the Gap: A Study on Mindsets, Need for Achievement, and Their Collective Impact on Cultivating Innovative Behavior
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This paper explores how individual mindsets influence innovative Behavior and whether the need for achievement plays a role in that relationship. Using data collected from 350 university students, the study found that students with a growth mindset tend to show higher levels of innovative Behavior. It also revealed that the need for achievement partially explains how Mindset affects innovation. While earlier research has often considered these factors separately, this study brings them together to explore how internal motivation can shape how mindsets translate into Behavior. It adds to existing theories by offering a more connected view of how personal beliefs and goals influence innovation, especially in academic settings.
