Abstract

With the decline of manufacturing in the United States, there is a need for increased employee innovation. This survey research examined the role of locus of control, leadership style, and innovative work behavior in the manufacturing industry using variance-based structural equation modeling. We tested the moderating roles of both internal and external locus of control on the leadership style and innovative work behavior and found positive significant relationships for transformational and transactional leadership styles and innovative work behavior.
