The results of this study are summarized as follows: (1) POF, individual perception of psychological climate adjustment and individual employee’s personality traits will be positively related to an organization’s innovative climate; and (2) Psychological climate adjustment and personality traits will positively moderate the relationship between POF and an organization’s innovative climate.
