Abstract

Innovative work behaviour (IWB) of employees acts as one of the sources of innovation in an organization (Messmann & Mulder, 2014).This behavior is generally characterized as a process that consists of two broad stages: idea generation and idea implementation. The first stage, i.e., Idea generation is about creating ideas regarding products, processes, and procedures, which is exploratory in nature and requires a change in interpretive schema through the interaction of ostensive and participative routines while later stage is about their implementation which could be exploitative involving enaction of espoused values with recreation of routines. Though this sequence seems logical and fairly evident, the process is complex with many obstacles often requiring routines to be recreated. In whole IWB is ambidextrous in nature and we propose that they can emerge from routines. Ambidextrous leadership has been suggested to be more facilitative than prior theories for IWB
