Organizational climate as a predictor of innovative work behavior

Abstract

The present study intends to examine the predicting role of organizational climate (Competing Values
Model) in Innovative Work Behavior (IWB). Additionally, the study examines the effect of organizational
size on IWB. The study was carried out on a purposively selected sample of 320 managers from Fast
Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) organizations countrywide. The instruments used for the study
included IWB, subscales of Organization Climate Measure (OCM) based on competing values model,
including Opens System Model (OSM) and Rational Goal Model (RGM). Multiple regression analysis and
ANOVA were carried out to test the hypotheses. The results revealed significant positive impact of OSM
and RGM on IWB. Moreover, the results did not show significant role of organizational size in IWB.
