Management Review Quarterly Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Ensuring survival and success of organizations in dynamic and competitive environments requires managers to search for new ways to approach their businesses. Innovative work behavior (IWB) is a complex behavior of employees that generates, introduces, and applies innovative ideas. Thus, IWB offers capabilities for retaining competitive advantage and maintaining organizational sustainability. Extensive body of IWB publication exists and this systematic review contributes to analyzing the state-of-the-art in research concepts and contributions of the topic. The purpose of this article is threefold: (i) to provide a systematic analysis of IWB literature, (ii) to integrate the established  IWB management concepts and research contributions in a multidimensional framework, and (iii) to propose a research agenda for future IWB studies. The review includes an analysis of the research methodologies and theories of studies along with the range of investigated regions and industries. Using insights from this analysis, the review synthesizes sets of IWB factors coalesced in the multidimensional framework and outlines opportunities for future research studies that advance IWB practice and scholarship.
