Abstract

This study investigates the impact of humble leadership on employee innovation in contemporary organizational settings. Employing a multi-dimensional analysis approach, data was collected through questionnaires from a sample of employees across various industries. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed significant findings regarding the demographics and characteristics of the respondents. Subsequently, deviation tests and correlation analyses were conducted to ensure the validity of the data. Hypothesis testing through regression analysis confirmed the positive and significant effects of humble leadership on employee innovation, organizational identity, and other relevant factors. Additionally, mediation and moderation analyses elucidated the complex interplay between leadership, individual attributes, and organizational outcomes. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of humble leadership in fostering innovation and organizational development. Moreover, they offer practical insights for leaders and organizations aiming to cultivate a culture of innovation and excellence in the workplace.
