This study refers to employability as an intervening variable in order to explore the relationship between human capital and innovative work behavior of university graduates in science and technology. The questionnaires were sent to companies and forwarded by managers. A total of 530 questionnaires were released and the number of effective questionnaires was 146. The validation of the research hypotheses is as follows: (1) Human capital has significant and positive influence on employability; (2) human capital has significant and positive influence on innovative work behavior; (3) employability has significant and positive influence on innovative work behavior; (4) employability serves intervening effects between human capital and innovative work behavior.
