Purpose In modern times, innovation is considered as a vital component of sustainable competitive advantage. The purpose of this paper is to identify how innovation at the individual level [innovative work behavior (IWB)] and at the organizational level [innovative organizational climate (IOC)] affects the chances of success of a particular project. Additionally, the moderating effect of gender and work culture on the relation between innovative climate and behavior is tested in the study. Design/methodology/approach Survey technique was used to collect data from 425 employees working in project departments at the executive, middle level and senior level management in the paint manufacturing industry of Pakistan. Multiple regression, as well as Preacher and Hayes (2004) tests, were applied to test the hypotheses. Findings The result of the data analysis showed that IWB acts as a mediator between IOC and project success (PS), thereby supporting the hypothesized model of innovation and PS. Work culture was supported as a moderator; however, no moderating effect of gender was validated by the results. Research limitations/implications The management must make sure that to maximize the rate of success of projects, innovative work climate within the organizations and departments be given due importance. In addition to this, personnel’s individual innovation capabilities must also be enhanced by taking steps toward improvement through training and development. Originality/value Though attention has been given to research in innovation in light of other related variables, its relation to PS remains yet to be studied. The effect of gender and work culture on innovation in Pakistani paint industry was long over-due which has been addressed by this study.

Innovative Work Behaviour

The present study was conducted to examine the effect of talent management practices on Employee Innovative Work Behavior in project-based organizations. The study also examined the moderating effect of Transformational Leadership between talent management practices and Employee Innovative Work Behavior. The data was collected from project-based organizations like software houses, construction companies, and NGOs in Peshawar city. The convenience sampling technique was used to gather the data. For this purpose, a total of 220 questionnaires were distributed, and 201responses were recorded. The Preacher and Hayes process macro was adopted to check the moderating effect. The results of the study suggest that Transformational leadership strongly moderates the relationship between talent management practices and employee innovative work behavior. This research has a significant contribution to the project management domain. The study has some limitations and as the cross-sectional method was used for data collection. Future research directions were also suggested like, different sectors such as manufacturing firms, the health sector, the educations sector, the banking sector, and the telecommunication sector, etc can also be the target for generalization of results. Keywords: Talent Management Practice (TMP), Employee Innovative Work Behaviour (EIWB), Transformational Leadership (TL).

Two Measures

Abstract. Employees’ innovative work is a facet of proactive work behavior that is of increasing interest to industrial and organizational psychologists. As proactive personality and supervisor support are key predictors of innovative work behavior, reliable, and valid employee ratings of these two constructs are crucial for organizations’ planning of personnel development measures. However, the time for assessments is often limited. The present study therefore aimed at constructing reliable short scales of two measures of proactive personality and supervisor support. For this purpose, we compared an innovative approach of item selection, namely Ant Colony Optimization (ACO; Leite, Huang, & Marcoulides, 2008 ) and classical item selection procedures. For proactive personality, the two item selection approaches provided similar results. Both five-item short forms showed a satisfactory reliability and a small, however negligible loss of criterion validity. For a two-dimensional supervisor support scale, ACO found a reliable and valid short form. Psychometric properties of the short version were in accordance with those of the parent form. A manual supervisor support short form revealed a rather poor model fit and a serious loss of validity. We discuss benefits and shortcomings of ACO compared to classical item selection approaches and recommendations for the application of ACO.
