Education 4.0 will be shaped by innovations and will indeed have to train students to produce innovations. However, in developing a world-class education system which produced a creative and excellent human capital, the weak productivity growth demonstrates the current reality that most of the countries still lack of creativity and innovative as reflected in the stagnant contribution by total factor productivity and education to output growth. Innovative work behaviour can be defined as intentional creation, introduction, and application of new ideas within a work role, in order to benefit the individual or organizational performance. Thus, teachers who have innovative work behaviour are teachers who are able to work creatively, contribute the idea and able to provide positive outcomes for the school where they work. From previous research studies, determinants or antecedents of innovative work behaviour are varying. Those predictors are job commitment, facilities, job autonomy, job insecurity, rewards, and job designs. However, most of the previous literature has believed about job commitment and job autonomy were strong affecting innovative work behaviour. Therefore, this paper aimed to develop a conceptual framework on determinants of innovative work behaviour among school teachers to fill a knowledge gap related to innovative work behaviour in educational institution whose responsible in designed to provide valuable and useful knowledge to students. This paper was explored through critical related literature analysis. The paper concludes that job autonomy and job commitment have a positive impact in creating the essential conditions to encourage teachers to show innovative work behaviour in schools. It is believed that this paper will provide relevant information on innovative work behaviour that would help the government to develop an effective educational reform to benefit its citizens.

Government support plays a crucial role in enhancing regional innovation capabilities and creating distinctive innovation clusters. Using the innovation competitiveness indicators of the 31 provinces in China, this paper examines the provincial government collaboration and innovation competitiveness values through Super‐SBM data envelopment analysis and analytic hierarchy process. Then, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to relate government collaboration to innovation competition and cooperation among provinces in hope of exploring the developmental trends of innovation cluster optimization. Research findings show that only 25.8% of the provincial government support proves effective for regional innovation, and the competitiveness values of the provinces are generally low and need to be improved. By incorporating the role of government support into the innovation competition and cooperation among provinces, there has been a tendency of innovation activities clustering in innovative regions and three major clusters have formed. The trend of clustering will continue to evolve outwards so that the overall innovation level of China would be enhanced.

“…Most studies of the relationship between LMX and IWB have confirmed that the former has a positive effect on the latter (Altunoglu & Gurel, 2015;Kheng et al, 2013) and that LMX is an important antecedent of IWB (Xerri, M., 2013, Agarwal, 2014.

This study investigated whether a relationship exists between leader-Member exchange (LMX) and innovative work behavior (IWB) of hotel sector employees in the territory of Riyadh. LMX's overall effect on innovative employee work behavior can be seen in the values of R 2 = 0.655 and adjusted R 2 =0.423. Overall, the results explain 65 percent of the variation in innovative employee behavior, which represents a satisfactory and positive result for the study and supported the study's hypotheses. One aim of the study was to improve our understanding of the effect that LMX has on IWB among the hospitality sector in Riyadh. LMX was found to be an important antecedent of IWB, and a high level of quality of LMX between employees and supervisors will inspire employees to be increasingly innovative while working.
