This study seeks to explore the relationship between promotive psychological ownership (promotive PO) towards the hotel and the employee innovative work behavior (IWB) in Greater Cairo in Egypt. A simple random sample was chosen for this study. A questionnaire was designed covering the assumed relationships. Self-administered questionnaire forms were distributed to 700 employees in 30 five-star hotels. Total forms 577 were received representing a response rate of 82.42 %. There were 157 forms not valid hence, they were excluded. So, 420 forms were valid for further analysis. Data were analyzed using the partial least square (PLS.3) technique. The findings of this study inferred a positive relationship between promotive PO and IWB. In addition, the findings indicated a positive impact between some dimensions of promotive PO (i.e., self-efficacy, accountability, responsibility, and autonomy) on IWB. Finally, the findings have profound important implications such as top management of five-star hotels should consider developing employees' feelings of promotive PO towards their hotels through specific policies and strategies through work designs that provide employees with opportunities to gain knowledge, control, independence in their hotels, providing employees with information and the ability to make decisions to enhance their sense of accountability and responsibility and contribute to a sense of burden-sharing and influence through delegation to stimulate employee's IWB.
This study seeks to explore the relationship between perceived innovation support (PIS) from employees' perspectives and innovation outputs (IO) in five-star hotels in Greater Cairo in Egypt. Furthermore, this study also endeavors to identify the mediating role of employees' innovative work behavior (IWB). Self-administered questionnaire forms were distributed to 700 employees in 30 five-star hotels. Total forms 577 were received representing a response rate of 82.42 %. There were 157 forms not valid hence, they were excluded. So, 420 forms were valid for further analysis. Data were analyzed using the partial least square (PLS.3) technique. The findings of this study inferred a positive relationship between PIS and IO. In addition, the findings also indicate that employees' IWB is considered a partial mediator factor in the relationship between PIS and IO. Finally, the findings have profound important implications. The study recommended that the hotel management should enhance the individual interests of the employees and their creative abilities through the development of some administrative and organizational strategies that aim to encourage employees to generate and develop new ideas and achieve the desired results by allocating the necessary resources e.g., appropriate budget, sufficient time, advice and accurate sharing of information as well as appropriate rewards and incentive link to performance. The study also recommends that hotel management establish an innovation sponsorship committee to which employees with new ideas can apply to obtain specific budgets for building prototypes, conducting market research, or other processes necessary to develop and implement these new ideas.
