Based on Chinese social and organizational context, from the perspective of individual innovative motivation, and using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, the paper extract the employee reactive innovation behavior concept, built structure dimension and develop a measurement scale from the current phenomenon of innovative management practices. The result shows that there exist a large number of reactive innovation behavior in innovative management practices and behave differently. According to the difference of employees’ self-construct state triggered by the organizational innovation norms, reactive innovation behavior is divided into three categories: perfunctory innovation; expedient innovation and compliant innovation.
