In the age of radical changes with the environments of management, corporate associates should adopt innovation movements and strategy successively for the future. It is necessary for business to detect and pursuit an opportunity within these changes. This study seeks to find some directions of innovation prospects suitable to the Korean firms and associates. Previous research on the effects of individual differences on the relationships between performance and employee responses to the organizational innovation has yielded ambiguous and conflicting results. In general, individual differences about personal backgrounds did not moderate the relationships between implementation and performances of innovation. However, this study shows that there are considerable effects on the relationships between innovation performances and personal backgrounds, that is level of education, job tenure, job position. This results produce meaningful implications for Korean managers which is different from previous foreign research. Moreover organizational characteristics significantly influence innovation adoption behavior. In this study, three variables in organizational level have been found to be related positively to innovation performances. The complexity of organizational structure, openness of communication and involvement of top management have been included in this analysis. Corporate individual backgrounds have some moderating effects on the relationship between perceived organizational characteristics and innovation adoption performances. This paper shows that Korean firms have to make another managerial efforts and procedures to reproduce the organizational characteristics before design administrative innovation movements.
