ObjectiveToday, innovation is recognized as the primary key to gaining a competitive advantage and achieving long-term success in competitive markets. Organizations with high innovation capacity can respond more rapidly and effectively to environmental challenges. The significance of this issue in the current competitive landscape has led to numerous studies on the prerequisites and outcomes of innovation. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of this field, the present research has reviewed and categorized the results and findings of these studies. MethodsThis research is practical in its purpose and was conducted using a qualitative approach and a systematic literature review method. The information sources for the study were articles published on the topic in reputable domestic scientific databases within the selected time period. These articles were chosen based on the inclusion criteria for the systematic review process. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. ResultsReexamining and categorizing the factors that promote and enhance innovation within organizations revealed several key prerequisites: environmental prerequisites (environmental pressures and supports), organizational prerequisites (organizational capabilities, intelligence, resource management, intangible assets, organizational orientations, and removing obstacles), human prerequisites (learning ability, creativity, effective communication, motivation, and trust), cultural and leadership prerequisites (cultural characteristics and directive leadership styles), human resource management requirements (human resource capabilities, empowerment, job and organizational fit, human resource management practices), and infrastructure prerequisites (flexible structures and technologies that facilitate interactions). Additionally, the outcomes of innovation are classified into two categories: individual outcomes (creativity, empowerment, and job performance) and organizational outcomes (organizational reputation, productivity, entrepreneurial capability, product quality, customer capital, value addition, knowledge management, learning, and organizational performance). ConclusionTo thrive in today's competitive markets, organizations must continuously pursue innovation. For successful implementation, they must address critical issues such as the prerequisites and outcomes of innovation. The findings of this research provide a comprehensive understanding of the various prerequisites and requirements for organizations that aim to adopt innovation as a core strategy. Meeting these requirements can create a platform that facilitates and accelerates innovation. This effort necessitates alignment and convergence among the organization's structural, human, cultural, and technological elements, with human resources management playing a key role. The organization's capable and motivated human resources, founded on trust and complementary relationships among leaders, must be fostered by human resources management through its various functions. Additionally, leaders who support innovation and individuals who strive to embed innovation into the organization's direction and culture are essential. Furthermore, top management should ensure structural and technological alignment with the innovation strategy. The presence of flexible and dynamic structures, along with information and communication technologies that facilitate interactions, can foster a continuous cycle of organizational innovations.
