Abstract : Innovative behavior in organizations is influenced by both individual factors and contextual factors. Innovation in general and Innovative Work Behavior (IWB) in particular have been identified as important for sustained competitive advantage and a significant theme of Organizational Studies in suggesting recommendations for practical interventions in Human Resource Management. This paper considers career anchors as individual factors and organizational culture as context in addition to self-efficacy and suggests the configuration of individual and contextual factors that lead to self-efficacy and innovative Work Behavior. It also proposes that self-efficacy by itself may be a more important variable, the management of which is likely to elicit Innovative Work Behavior. Keywords - Innovative Work Behavior, Career Anchors, Organizational Culture, Context, Self-Efficacy.
