All executives in today's highly competitive business environment must demonstrate effective leadership
skills. The leader-member exchange is one of the basic ingredients of leadership that can embody employee
behaviors to exhibit innovative work behavior and perceived organizational support within organizations.
The innovative work behavior depends on the supportive work environment and such organizational
climates are perceived as being oriented towards creativity and innovation. The research findings signify
that the relationship between leader-member exchange and innovative work behavior is mediated by
perceived organizational support that serves as the main goal of this study. By applying a variety of
statistical techniques including exploratory factor analysis and mediation effect analysis on a sample
composed of 268 employees from a state-owned entity undertaking R&D projects, strong empirical support
has been found for all the theory-driven hypothesized statements, including the mediating mechanism of
perceived organizational support. This study is aimed to provide an important contribution to the existing
literature by offering a profound description of how leadership characteristics of employee-centered
supervisors affect the dispositional state of the employees and ultimately their roles in organizational
sustainability. The results of the present study provide managers and employees with a mechanism in order
to enable innovation at the workplace so that the organization can also succeed in tough competitive
environments. This study provides insights into the dynamic structure of leader-member exchange in the
behavioral and organizational context and it concludes by succeeding theoretical and practical
implications for employees’ innovative work behavior and suggesting directions for further empirical
investigations.
