Abstract:
Purpose
Although prior research has shown the value of entrepreneurial leadership in encouraging
innovative activity among employees, little is known about how leaders affect their colleagues'
inventive behavior.
By using social cognitive theory, this thesis aims to analyze the role of innovation climate in
mediating the connection between entrepreneurial leadership and employees' innovative
behavior.
Methodology & Design
From full-time workers in Karachi, we gathered 261 data points using the survey method and
the snow-ball sampling approach. Data were analyzed using partial least squares structural
equation modelling using Smart PLS.
Findings
The study discovered that entrepreneurial leadership influences employees' innovative
behavior by fostering an innovative climate.
Limitations
The only precedent taken into account by the framework is entrepreneurial leadership. Another
potential drawback is that the research sample was limited to Karachi only.
Recommendations
These findings make it possible for leaders to identify their crucial roles in promoting
innovation inside their organizations and creating the best culture and environment for
innovation. It also enables managers to design creative environments encouraging staff
members to discuss concepts and ideas confidently
