| Abstract: | Purpose – Organizations rely on continuous improvement and innovation practices to sustain their position in the market, especially for digital companies that provide technology-based products. Individual innovativeness plays a pivotal role in organizational growth. Consequently, organizations are required to foster innovative practices through their organizational culture. Research on organizational culture influencing innovative work behavior (IWB) has gained significant attention. However, studies specifically focusing on innovation culture as one dimension remain limited. This study examines the relationship between innovation culture and IWB in digital companies in Indonesia, exploring the mediating roles of knowledge sharing, job autonomy, psychological safety, and perceived supervisor support. Methods – A quantitative cross-sectional method was employed, surveying 161 employees across seven digital technology-based companies in Indonesia. A total of 40 items measuring the chosen variables were distributed to the participants. However, only 34 final items were obtained in this study. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 27. Regression analysis was employed to measure the relationship between innovation culture and IWB. Additionally, the mediating factors were examined using the PROCESS macro. Results – The findings indicated that innovation culture positively and significantly influenced IWB. Furthermore, knowledge sharing, job autonomy, and psychological safety were found to positively mediate this relationship. However, contrary to existing literature, perceived supervisor support did not emerge as a significant mediator between innovation culture and IWB. Conclusion – This research contributes to existing literature by validating the direct link between innovation culture and IWB. Specifically, knowledge sharing, job autonomy, and psychological safety were identified as important factors influencing this relationship. Conversely, perceived supervisor support did not significantly emerge as a mediating factor. As a practical implication, organizational leaders should prioritize fostering an innovation culture to enhance individual innovativeness. Keywords: Innovation Culture; Innovative Work Behavior; Knowledge Sharing; Job Autonomy; Psychological Safety; Perceived Supervisor Support. |
