Abstract

Having employee with high innovative work behavior (IWB) is one option for organization to be more innovative in order to adapt to rapid changes and maintain its performance. Although the workplace climate that management creates is playing a significant role, there are other factors required for successful innovative work behavior. This article build on the research on the important of both internal and organizational factor that effect IWB. Servant Leadership, a leadership style that promotes the wellbeing of employees as the organizational factor and Learning Goal Orientation (LGO), a form of employee-s dispositional trait as the internal factor. We also propose the role of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) as employee-s psychological resources to manage the process of innovative work behavior. We found that the both internal and organizational factor draw from the employee psychological resources to generate IWB. While Servant Leadership builds a safe environment and LGO provide engagement in jobtask, PsyCap help employee to take a proactive role in innovation.
