“…It is the same with recent studies from other areas such as business and health. Both areas also acknowledge that leadership and innovative behaviour, in particular, have a significant relationship (Choi et al, 2016;Mokhber, Khairuzzaman, & Vakilbashi, 2018;Wang et al, 2019).

The rapid changes in 21st century of education system demand innovation actions from all teachers. The innovative behaviour is vital to ensure that education system remains relevant to current developments and trends. However, it has a lack of comprehensive identifications of its factors that can influence a teacher's innovative behaviour, especially in recent decades. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) as a research method. The SLR consists of review protocol which specifies the topic to be researched and the method customized in conducting the review. It is the main strategy of detecting relevant literature review and how information is obtained from the primary study. Planning, conducting, and reporting the review are phases of the SLR method. The study found that leadership and self-efficacy are the most dominant factors in influencing teachers' innovative behaviour in the school sector. Detailed empirical studies need to be done to see whether leadership and self-efficacy factors influence the teachers' innovative behaviour directly or indirectly as potential mediator and moderators. The research can be improved by filtering articles in foreign languages, using a more extensive database and exploring other factors through in-depth interviews. It is recommended that the identified factors be used in different settings and also focusing on non-dominant factors.

Purpose: Based on social cognitive theory, the present study aimed to explore the impact of entrepreneurial leadership on employees' innovative work behavior through the moderating path of entrepreneurial self-efficacy in technology-based SMEs. The study also explains the mechanism through which a firm's innovative environment mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and employees' innovative work behavior. Methods: To pursue the objectives, this study has used data from a sample of 350 supervisor-subordinate dyads working in cross sectional small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating in the Jiangsu province of China. Based on social cognitive theory and specific continuum of self-efficacy theory, a conceptual model was developed and the hypotheses were tested with the help of SPSS 20. Findings: Empirical findings recommend a significant positive effect of entrepreneurial leadership on employees' innovative work behavior. The study suggested that firm's innovative environment mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and the employees' innovative behavior. The results also confirmed that entrepreneurial self-efficacy exerts a positive moderating effect on the association of entrepreneurial leadership and employees' innovative behavior. Conclusion: Findings of the present research work have several implications for the management and policymakers of high-tech SMEs who want to augment their employees' innovative behavior in order to compete in a highly competitive and challenging business environment. To the best of authors' knowledge, this work is the first attempt that presents an empirically supported comprehensive model for the development of employees' innovative behavior within entrepreneurial-based high-tech SMEs. It contributes to literature by examining the mediation and moderation process for the development of employees' innovative behavior.
