Abstract: The exploratory project rooted in breakthrough innovation, as an innovative project management practice in complex situations such as emerging technologies and new product development, promotes innovative development in terms of exploring the unknown and verifying new ideas. Based on the related research of self-determination theory and work gamification, exploratory projects are used as the research situation to explore the influence mechanism of work gamification on the innovative behavior of project members. The study founds that: first, the achievement elements, immersion elements and social elements have a positive influence on the innovation behavior of the exploratory project members; and second, the harmony work passion explains the mechanism of "self-comparison" and "social comparison", which has a significant intermediary effect on the innovation behavior; third, the competitive characteristics play a positive regulating effect between harmonious work passion, workplace jealousy and innovative behavior. This paper constructs the influence mechanism of the innovative behavior of exploratory projects, and provides the situation-matching work gamification management mode for exploratory projects, so as to improve the innovative behavior of project members and provide some reference for the management practice of exploratory projects.

摘要： 根植于突破性创新的探索性项目，作为新兴技术、新产品开发等复杂情境下的创新性项目管理实践，在探索未知与验证新理念方面推进了创新发展。基于自我决定理论与工作游戏化相关研究，以探索性项目为研究情境，探讨工作游戏化对项目成员创新行为的影响机制。研究发现：第一，工作游戏化的成就类元素、沉浸类元素与社交类元素分别对探索性项目成员的创新行为具有正向影响；第二，和谐型工作激情与职场善意妒忌分别从“自我比较”与“社会比较”的路径解释了工作游戏化对创新行为的作用机理，具有显著的中介作用；第三，竞争性特质在和谐型工作激情、职场善意妒忌和创新行为之间起到正向调节作用。研究构建了探索性项目创新行为的影响机制，以及为探索性项目提供了情境匹配的工作游戏化管理方式，用以提升项目成员的创新行为，为探索性项目的管理实践提供一定借鉴。
