Abstract
Organizational change and adaptation to rapidly evolving environments are crucial characteristics for organizations to maintain competitiveness the present day. Innovative work behavior exhibited by employees plays a role for this particular form of organizational success. This study aimed to examine variables that might be positively associated with innovative work behavior (IWB). We hypothesized that task interdependence would positively influence IWB, and that mutual trust would mediate this relationship. A multi-source cross-sectional field study was conducted. The study included 89 dyads from Dutch companies consisting of employees and their leaders, that filled out a questionnaire. The findings indicate that task interdependence is positively associated with IWB, while trust has a marginally significant effect on IWB. However, trust does not significantly mediate the relationship between task interdependence and IWB. These results suggest that other factors may play a role in this relationship, highlighting the complexity of the dynamics involved. The study contributes to the literature on leader-employee working dynamics and innovation, offering practical insights for fostering innovative behavior in organizational settings.
