The Identification Factors of Innovation Creativity in Organization through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP): A Case Study of Building Material Factory

Abstract

The purposes of this research are 1) to study the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) 2) to analyze the key factors of innovation creativity in organization and 3) to compare the analytical results from two classified groups, i.e., engineer and researcher group and administrator group from engineering, production and research and development department. The hierarchical structure was designed and developed to identify the factors by using AHP through questionnaire. Innovative staffs in head position were surveyed via a questionnaire. Furthermore, population samples were divided into two groups, i.e., engineers or researchers group and administrators group in order to compare their analytic results. The results of the study were as follow: The most important factor of innovation creativity in organization is the valued innovative human resource at the importance factor level of 0.1237. Smart and creative staff will push the organization to reach successful innovation. Furthermore the result of two survey groups are significantly different depending on levels of responsibility decentralization, organization climate of innovation creativity and team coordination leader. The Consistency Ratio (C.R.) is less than 0.10.
