A survey is carried out with 254 employees in hospitality business in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and it is concluded that ethical climate perception has a positive effect on innovative work behavior. Furthermore, a mediation role of servant leadership on the relationship between ethical climate perception and innovative work behavior is observed.
