Factors of Innovative Behavior in Malaysia

Muhammed Soffiq Bin Saripin, Erne Suzila Kassim

The main objective of the study is to examine the determinants of innovative behaviour among government servants in Malaysia. Building from the transformation leadership model of inspirational leadership, intellectual stimulation and individualised consideration, and the importance of knowledge sharing and intrinsic motivation, a survey was conducted. The results of the SEM-PLS indicate knowledge sharing, intellectual stimulation and intrinsic motivation are significant determinants of innovative behaviour but leader's inspirational motivation and intellectual stimulation were not significant factors. The strongest linkage is between intrinsic motivation and innovative behaviour. The study is essential to spur greater innovativeness among government servants, and the findings could be used as a strategy to inculcate inter and intra-innovations as the public sector is the driving agent for achieving the national agenda.
