How do employees inspire innovative work behavior? transformational leadership and work motivation perspectives

In the rapidly changing 21st century, a new type of work methods and behavior is necessary and important. Research has unveiled the factors impacting innovative work behavior, but the underlying mechanisms for sustained inspiration remained far from fully understood. To fill that knowledge gap, this study investigated 50 good performance companies in Taiwan, and used the factors work motivation and transformational leadership to test the study's hypotheses; responses from 150 employees were used in the analysis. The findings suggest that both work motivation and transformational leadership are positively related to innovative work behavior, and that continuous transformational leadership and enhanced employee motivation can make employees produce results from innovative work behavior.
