Abstract/Summary

This study aims to test a culture-innovation model that examines the moderating role of climate for innovation on the relationship of power distance orientation and in-novative work behavior at an individual level. Drawing from the organization climate theory, this study highlights that a high climate for innovation would weaken the asso-ciation of power distance orientation and innovative work behavior. Self-reports from 86 full-time employees from e-commerce companies within Metro Manila were col-lected through convenience and snowball sampling. The results of the study showed no significant correlation between power distance orientation and innovative work behav-ior. However, when the interaction effect between the predictors was accounted for, a significant positive relationship between power distance orientation and innovative work behavior was observed when climate for innovation was high. This result high-lights the significance of the moderator in the model and its impact on the innovative work behavior of employees with high power distance orientation.
