Purpose: Taking a literature review as a point of departure, the main aim of this paper was the identification of the behavioural indicators of innovators at the workplace, and their classification. Design/methodology/approach: A literature review was addressed by means of a search in Elsevier’s Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. By applying inclusive and exclusive criteria, references were obtained with the search protocol. After filtering and scanning, there was a selection of references plus other articles added by the snowball effect. The final phase undertaken was the classification of the main indicators raised in the publications selected.Findings: Our main contribution was the identification of the behavioural indicators of innovators at the workplace and their classification in five dimensions.Practical implications: This research may yield some light on the assessment of innovative workplace performance of individuals in organisations, as well as on the development of the innovative competence of students in academic institutions as a challenge to meet the needs of both professionals and Higher Education institutions.Originality/value: Some authors have studied the characteristics of innovative people mainly focusing on cognitive abilities, personality, motivation and knowledge. We have sought to offer a better understanding of the phenomenon of individual innovation in organisations, through the analysis of behavioural indicators, an issue that has not been studied from this perspective previously.

This paper analyses a teaching and learning method promoted by the UPV in these last years: flip education. We start from an experience carried out in an elective fourth year subject which is part of the Grado en Ingeniaría Informática (Computer Engineering Degree

IntroducciónLas empresas y organizaciones se encuentran en un momento imparable de búsqueda y de superación de los retos del siglo XXI y han puesto énfasis en el potencial que proporciona la innovación a la hora de adaptarse a las nuevas dinámicas de un mundo cada vez más globalizado y en cambio permanente. La competencia de innovación que tiene un empleado, o la que podría tener, es una cualidad que a cualquier equipo de recursos humanos le gustaría poder requerir en el momento de la selección de personal o de contratación. Además, la innovación es uno de los elementos que fomenta una mayor productividad y crecimiento de las empresas, y hace que estas puedan convertirse en referentes de impacto en sus respectivas áreas (Aznar-Mas et al., 2015).La investigación académica realizada sugiere que las características y los comportamientos de los individuos en el lugar de trabajo son la base para la innovación en las empresas (Patterson et al., 2009) El proyecto europeo INCODE (Innovation Competencies Development), llevado a cabo de 2011 a 2013, tuvo como objetivo garantizar el éxito de la transferencia de las ideas innovadoras al producto innovador, y de los servicios que dependían de la integración del conocimiento pedagógico a las actividades de innovación del entorno laboral. INCODE desarrolló un barómetro para su utilización como herramienta de evaluación de la innovación en el entorno universitario. El trabajo que ahora se presenta, parte del anterior Aznar-Mas, L. E.,

Introducing greater innovation into the culture and capabilities of organizations worldwide, a requirement of today's society, is an issue currently in need of scholarly attention. The present investigation is being undertaken within the context of FINCODA, a European Project involved in the development of new reliable tools for innovation competences assessment. The study aims at devising a search protocol for a systematic review of the literature on behavioral indicators of innovators published from 2000 onwards, indexed in Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The specific keywords used in the search include the following fields: (1) workplace; (2) innovative behaviour, innovative work behaviour and individual innovation; (3) indicators. A preliminary search with these keywords retrieved 1,350 references. Then, the process of filtering data by title and abstract to meet inclusive and exclusive criteria refined the search. The materials identified are expected to prove useful in the definition of behavioural indicators of innovative people at work. Moreover, they will help in the analysis of the relation of the descriptors found with the innovative indicators of a barometer created within a previous European Project, INCODE, and in the further design of a tool to measure employees' innovation.
