This article aims to study (1) the current situation of innovative behavior among young teachers in public vocational colleges in Yunnan Province, China, and (2) propose appropriate development strategies to enhance their innovative behavior. The sample consisted of 375 young teachers from 37 public vocational colleges in Yunnan, using a systematic random sampling approach. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and in-depth interviews, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. The findings of the study were as follows:
The level of innovative behavior among young teachers in Yunnan was high, with a mean score of 3.71 for idea generation and 3.54 for idea championing, indicating room for improvement, especially in the areas of generating and championing new ideas in teaching.
Organizational factors, such as perceived organizational innovation climate, organizational support and knowledge sharing , had a significant positive impact on teachers' innovative behavior. Individual factors, including self-efficacy, work engagement and job satisfaction also contributed positively to innovation. However, barriers such as limited resources, institutional constraints were identified as significant inhibitors of innovation.
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of innovative behavior among young teachers in Yunnan's vocational colleges and offers corresponding strategies to improve it.
