ABSTRACT
Objective To study the interactive mechanism of information retrieval behaviors and innovative behaviors in members of scientific project team engaged in scientific research.Methods The information retrieval behaviors and innovative behaviors in 218 members of 36 scientific project teams were investigated using self-designed information retrieval behavior and innovative behavior scale.The interactive mechanism of information retrieval behaviors and in-novative behaviors was analyzed by descriptive analysis, t test, and F test, respectively.Results The information retrieval behavior dimensions in members of scientific project team engaged in scientific research interacted with their innovative behaviors, innovative awareness, innovative nature, and innovative environment.The effect of in-formation assessment on innovative behaviors was most significant.Innovative behaviors were closely related with information retrieval behaviors.The effect of innovative nature on information retrieval behaviors was also most sig-nificant.Conclusion The information retrieval ability, information literacy, innovative nature, innovative aware-ness, and innovative ability should be strengthened in members engaged in scientific research.
