Апстракт

This study studies the relationship between organisational climate, responsible leadership, and innovative behaviour and their subsequent impact on employee performance. The study uses hypothesis testing research design based on quantitative research designs and sampled 145 employees from Simon Diedong University of Business and Integrated Development Studies (SDD UBIDS) and Dr. Hilla Limann Technical University, Wa (DHLTU-Wa) in the Upper West region of Ghana. Key findings in this study are: (1) organizational climate has an insignificant positive effect on innovative behaviour (2) responsible leadership significantly and positively influences innovative behaviour (3) management systems and social environment do not significantly impact innovative behaviour (4) physical environment has a significant positive effect on innovative behaviour. The study reveals that organisational climate and responsible leadership are significant predictors of innovative behaviour, with a strong correlation (0.768) between these variables. The regression analysis shows that 59.1% (R^2 = 0.591) of the variance in innovation is explained by organisational climate and responsible leadership, while 40% is attributed to other factors. Overall, this quantitative study highlights the crucial role of responsible leadership and the physical environment.
