At the same time, there is a medium to strong direct relationship between the sub-variable of innovation environment and the employee achievement goal orientation, and the innovation environment has a positive and direct impact on the employee achievement goal orientation. In addition, there is a strong direct relationship between the sub-variable of leadership philosophy and employee achievement goal orientation, and leadership philosophy has a significant positive impact on employee achievement goal orientation.
