Due to the increasingly collaborative and multi-disciplinary nature of work, a practically useful theory of innovation must encapsulate the dynamic network of actors whose ties and interactions significantly influence the generation, development, and implementation of creative ideas into actual innovations. Although significant progress has been made in identifying how social networks influence the front-end (i.e., generative creativity) and back-end (i.e., implementation) phases of innovation, a dearth of research exists on how social networks influence the key intermediary phase of innovation: the development of ideas. This dissertation seeks to contribute to the literature on social networks and innovation by examining the relational antecedents and psychological mechanisms to innovation development behaviors-the set of activities that occur after the generative creativity phase of innovation in the pursuit of developing an idea in terms of its novelty, usefulness, or feasibility towards potential implementation. Findings suggest: (a) tie strength directly influences innovation development behaviors, (b) tie strength indirectly influences innovation development behaviors via psychological safety, and (c) these direct and indirect effects are conditional on the level of knowledge diversity in one's network. In addition, post hoc analysis suggests that being recognized by one's collaborators similarly influences innovation development behaviors directly as well as indirectly through psychological safety. Recognition mediates the relationship between tie strength, psychological safety, and innovation development behaviors. Implications of these findings are discussed in order to advance empirical knowledge on social networks and innovation, as well as provide the foundations for a modern framework for researching innovation development behaviors and how social network factors influence them.
