本研究旨在檢驗自發性與創意行為之間的關係。研究問卷發放之對象為兩所大學的大學部與碩士班學生，問卷內容包含自發性量表、與柯龍優異人格量表，本研究最後收集之有效樣本共計491份。為達上述研究目的，研究者利用獨立樣本t檢定、驗證式因素分析與結構方程模型等分析方法考驗研究假設。研究結果發現，自發性有五個因素：自由、愉悅、有信心、愛、活力，能夠預測創意行為。在「自信」方面，男性的分數顯著地大於女性。男性的KAI分數也顯著地大於女性。創新者在「自由」、「愉悅」、「有信心」、「愛」與「活力」的分數都顯著地大於適應者。結構方程模式的結果顯示，自發性顯著地預測KAI，進而顯著地預測原創、效率與遵從。此模式解釋KAI57％的變異量，原創90％的變異量，效率64％的變異量，及遵從45％的變異量。文末，研究者歸納結論，並提出研究結果之應用及未來研究建議，作為後續研究者之參考。

This research aims to investigate the relationship between spontaneity innovative behavior. Participants were undergraduate and graduate students at two universities in central Taiwan (N = 491) who were administered two inventories measuring spontaneity and innovative behavior. The study examined the proposed research model through using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results showed that spontaneity (five constructs were included: freedom, pleasure, confidence, love, and vigor) significantly predicted innovative behavior: the higher the spontaneity, the better the innovative performance. There was a statistically significant gender difference in “confidence,” which is an aspect of spontaneity. Males scored significantly higher than females in “confidence”. Male respondents scored significantly higher than female respondents in KAI. The innovators reported significantly higher levels of “freedom”, “pleasure”, “confidence”, “love” and “vigor” than adaptors. The results of structural equation model revealed that spontaneity significantly influenced the KAI. Additionally, the KAI significantly had a positive relation with originality, efficiency, and conformity (β = .454, p < .001). The research model explained 57% of the variance in the KAI, 90% of the variance in originality, 64% of the variance in efficiency, and 45% of the variance in conformity. The results have shed a light on spontaneity and innovation. Limitations of the present study and suggestions for further researchers were discussed.
