Abstract

Innovation is the lifeblood of the architecture industry, driving progress and shaping the built environment. Within architecture firms, the innovative self-efficacy of employees plays a pivotal role in fostering creativity, problem-solving, and ultimately, the success of projects. This comprehensive review article delves into the myriad factors that influence an employee's innovative self-efficacy in architecture firms. By understanding and addressing these factors, firms can harness the full creative potential of their workforce, leading to enhanced design solutions and sustainable growth. The purpose of this research is to systematically examine and comprehensively understand the multifaceted factors that influence an employee's innovative self-efficacy within architecture firms. Innovative self-efficacy, the belief in one's capacity to generate novel ideas and contribute to innovation, is recognized as a critical driver of creativity, problem-solving, and project success in the architecture industry.
