摘　　要：In contrast to traditional passive innovation behavior,proactive innovation behavior initiated by employees significantly impacts organizational performance.For manufacturing employees,proactive innovation behavior leads to high-quality innovation outcomes,thereby facilitating the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing sector.Trait mindfulness enhances self-awareness,stimulating intrinsic motivation,and proactive employee behavior.However,research exploring how trait mindfulness affects proactive innovation behavior in manufacturing is still limited.This study,anchored in self determination theory and viewed through intrinsic motivation,develops a chain mediation model whereby trait mindfulness influences proactive innovation through professional identity and thriving at work while examining the moderating role of a caring ethical climate.Utilizing a sample of 536 manufacturing employees,data analysis and hypothesis testing are performed using SPSS and Amos.The findings reveal that(1)trait mindfulness has a positive effect on proactive innovation behavior;(2)professional identity and thriving at work each act as partial mediators between trait mindfulness and proactive innovation behavior and together serve as chain mediators;and(3)a caring ethical climate positively moderates the relationship between trait mindfulness and both professional identity and thriving at work.Finally,management recommendations are proposed based on these empirical findings.
