Research limitations/implications Limitations include the correlation design, the sample of students and the self-reported measures for novelty seeking and innovativeness. Practical implications The paper proposes a number of implications for researchers and practitioners who deal with innovation. The results of the study can be applied to various procedures and stages of innovation management. Originality/value The study contributes to knowledge on psychological correlates of innovation on an individual level, such as creativity, innovativeness, novelty seeking and intelligence, as well as produces an empirically validated model of the relationships among them.
