Faced with increasingly fierce market competition, more and more organizations have recognized that organizational innovation culture is an important driver of employees' innovation behavior. On the basis of data collected from 482 respondents and using SPSS 24.0 and Mplus 8.0 for analysis,
we obtained the following results: First, organizational innovation culture had a positive impact on employees' innovation behavior. Second, innovation self-efficacy played a mediating role between organizational innovation culture and employees' innovation behavior. Third, organizational
identity played a moderating role in the relationship between organizational innovation culture and employees' innovation behavior. The research results enrich theoretical understanding in the field of human resource management and also provide a reference for enterprise managers on how to
effectively stimulate employees' innovative behavior.

Materials and methods: Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analyses were performed to detect the expression and subcellular localizations of CREB and pCREB proteins in 130 pairs of HCC and adjacent nonneoplastic liver tissues. Results: Both immunohistochemistry and Western blot analyses showed that the expression levels of CREB and pCREB proteins in HCC tissues were significantly higher than those in the adjacent nonneoplastic liver tissues (both P<0.001). In addition, the combined upregulation of CREB and pCREB proteins (CREB-high/pCREB-high) was significantly associated with serum α-fetoprotein (P=0.02), tumor stage (P<0.001), and tumor grade (P=0.01). Moreover, HCC patients with CREB-high/pCREB-high expression showed shortest 5-year disease-free survival and 5-year overall survival (both P<0.001). Furthermore, the multivariate survival analysis found that the combined upregulation of CREB and pCREB proteins may be an independent unfavorable prognostic factor for both 5-year disease-free survival and 5-year overall survival (both P=0.01) in HCC. Conclusion: Our data indicate for the first time that the activation of the CREB protein may be associated with tumor progression in HCC, and may serve as a valuable marker of prognosis for patients with this malignancy.
