Abstract In the era of information and knowledge economy, innovation has become one of the key factors for individuals to gain competitive advantage. Based on resource dependence theory and knowledge management theory, a moderated mediation model was constructed with 319 valid samples from enterprises in Shanghai. Using structural equation model, this paper examines the mechanism paths of task interdependence, goal interdependence and reward interdependence affecting employee innovation behavior, and examines the mediating role of knowledge acquisition and the moderating role of task conflict. The results show that: Task interdependence, goal interdependence and reward interdependence have significant positive effects on knowledge acquisition; knowledge acquisition has a significant positive effect on employee innovation behavior; knowledge acquisition mediates the relationship between task interdependence, goal interdependence reward interdependence and employee innovation behavior; task conflict moderates the relationship between goal interdependence and knowledge acquisition. The mediating role of knowledge acquisition in the relationship between goal interdependence and employee innovation behavior is moderated by task conflict. In other words, the mediating effect of knowledge acquisition is stronger only when the level of task conflict is high. The significance of this paper lies in the fact it not only supplements the theory system of employee innovation behavior in the Chinese context, but also provides instructions for enterprises in management practices.
