Abstract

This study examined the innovative work environment and its relationship with the innovative work behavior of employees of the Community Rural Bank of Dapitan City, Inc. during calendar year 2024. A descriptive-correlational design was employed, involving 120 respondents. Weighted mean, standard deviation, and Spearman rank-order correlation (Spearman’s rho) were used for data analysis. Results indicated that employees perceived the innovative work environment as very high, while their innovative work behavior was assessed as high. Correlation analysis revealed a strong, positive, and statistically significant relationship between the innovative work environment and employees’ innovative work behavior. The findings may serve as a reference for the board of directors and managers in strengthening management strategies and workplace conditions that support innovative behavior among employees.
