Abstract

Employee innovativeness in the workplace is one of the crucial factors that positively improve the long-term success of the organization. In this respect, this study proposed to investigate some of the antecedents of the innovative work behaviors in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRG). To do this a survey questionnaire has been organized and in total 189 data have been collected from various companies in KRG to analyze the proposed model. The data have been evaluated by the SPSS software program, by regression analysis. The results revealed that training, supervisor support, and supportive culture have significant effects on employee innovative behaviors. Among the variables, supervisor support has the strongest impact on employee innovative behaviors. Accordingly, residential leaders are recommended to provide positive support to their followers to have innovative behaviors in the organizations. Key Words:Innovation, innovative behavior, socialization, training, leader support, creativity
