Relationship Between Self-Leadership Skills And Employee Innovative Work Behavior (IWB)
Abstract
This research was conducted in order to examine the relationship between self-leadership skills and employee innovative work behaviour at one prominent corporate company in Malaysia located in Johor Bharu. Self-leadership skills comprised of behavioural focused strategy, natural reward strategy and constructive thought position. 152 questionnaires were distributed among the middle level employees by using simple random sampling. The findings appeared to support two hypotheses that behaviour focused and natural reward strategies have positively associated with employee innovative work behaviour. The findings indicated that two elements of self-leadership skills lead to encourage employees to be more innovative in their work role performance. Further studies, need to be conducted at different sector with larger population as to compare the self- leadership skills possessed by the employees and how does it influence the innovative work behaviour.
