Abstract
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.
 Keywords: Workplace, innovative behaviour,indicators.
