ABSTRACT

The present study investigated the relationship between innovative work behavior, motivation, and resistance to change of different levels of office engineers. Participants are 120 engineers of three levels namely; working as lower-level executives, middle-level management, and senior-level management. There are three concepts under innovative work behavior viz., idea generation, idea promotion, and idea implementation. Three groups differ in intrinsic and extrinsic motivation where intrinsic motivation is highest in middle-level engineers and extrinsic motivation is highest in lower-level engineers. Under innovative work behavior, only idea implementation differs across groups and the relationship between intrinsic motivation and innovative performance is positive and intrinsic motivation mediated the relationship between various levels of engineers and innovative work behavior.
