Employee innovative capability has been the main concern especially among the public servants. A lot of effort has been taken to heighten the level of innovative capability among the employees but the effect can be said unsatisfactorily. One of the reasons is that the job of public servants is less competitive as compared to those working in the private sector. Realizing the need to identify factors that can incre ase public servants’ innovative capability, the present study was undertaken by focusing on employees working in the selected public organizations as samples. A total of 400 self-reported questionnaires were distributed to respondents and 314 sets were returned but 290 sets were usable for analysis. The results of a multiple regression analysis show that leaders’ consistency, consultation (syura), expressing gratitude, eloquence and sovereignty are significant to influence employees’ innovative capability. The implications of the study are discussed in detail in this paper. © 2024, Transnational Press London Ltd. All rights reserved.
