摘要

Leadership style is important in fostering a healthy work context and enhancing motivation of employees. Drawing on theories of positive leadership and workplace learning, this research investigated the role of authentic leadership (AL) as a facilitator of Innovative Work Behavior (IWB) and investigated the mediating role of social informal learning behaviors. A total of 303 useful questionnaires were obtained from leaders and employees of 201 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) located in Pakistan. The data was analyzed using SmartPLS 4. The result demonstrated that AL had a positive and significant association with IWB. Moreover, this relationship was mediated by two out of four social informal learning behaviors examined. The study has both theoretical and practical contributions. The limitation of this study and possible avenues for future research are discussed towards the end.
