Abstract

Studies have suggested that the most common factor forming an employee’s innovative behavior is leadership style. However, studies examining leadership styles’ influence on employee’s innovative behavior in diverse cultural contexts are rarely discussed. Paternalistic leadership is believed to be the most effective leadership style applied in countries with a collectivist culture like Indonesia. Nonetheless, studies from Western culture criticized Paternalistic Leadership as a form of dictatorship wrapped in kindness. Studies from Asian countries have also denied this by suggesting that this leadership style positively impacts employee’s innovative behavior. This study aims to examine the role of Paternalistic Leadership on Innovative Behavior in Indonesia’s digital-based companies. Research data taken from 332 people who work in digital-based companies in Indonesia, data analysis was performed using Linear Regression and General Linear Model (GLM). The results of the study indicate that Paternalistic Leadership has a significant impact on Employee Innovative Behavior.
