Abstrakt: Although there is an extensive amount of literature on innovative work behaviour (IWB), there is a paucity of studies that focus on IWB in Indian automakers. In addition, there is a dearth of studies looking at how psychological empowerment dimensions influence IWBs like creativity and innovation capability. A quantitative study with questionnaire was used to survey 500 research and development (R&D) staff. Data was analysed using PLS-SEM. Only the competence and self-determination components of psychological empowerment significantly affect employees' creativity, although all four dimensions positively affect innovative capability. Impact alone has little effect on creative self-efficacy. Creative self-efficacy mediates between psychological empowerment dimensions (except impact dimension) and innovative work behaviours. This study uses the importance-performance matrix analysis (IPMA) methodology to identify the important constructs to prioritise managerial actions. Employees view self-determination and meaning as the most significant factors for creativity and innovation capability respectively, according to IPMA.
