Abstract
The aim of the study was threefold; to examine the impact of inclusive leadership on innovative work behavior, to find the mediating role of positive deviance and to explore the moderating role of employee empowerment between inclusive leadership on innovative work behavior. A sample of 300 managers from the telecom industry of Pakistan will be purposively selected. This study maintains that when leaders give a secure environment to employees at the workplace, employees feel secure to take risks and exhibit innovative behavior, which eventually contributes to enhancing employee and organizational performance. This study is based on social exchange theory, which reinforces the positive part of inclusive leadership with innovative work behavior. Moreover, the literature reveals that positive deviance is found to play an important role as a predictor of innovative work behavior. This study will examine how positive deviance provides an indirect path between inclusive leadership and innovative work behavior and will explore the moderating role of employee empowerment in this relationship. SPSS and AMOS software will be used for data analysis.
