<![CDATA[Public sector innovation is needed to face the increasingly complex era of disruption. Civil Servants dominated by the Millennial generation are one of the keys to their success. A growth mindset is thought to be one factor that shapes innovative work behavior. The uniqueness of the public sector makes it urgent to examine the relationship between the two variables. However, studies on the relationship between growth mindset and innovative work behavior are still limited. This study on 146 Millennial civil servants at the Head Office of the State Civil Service Agency aimed to understand the relationship between growth mindset and innovative work behavior with the Self Determination Theory framework. Self-report data were collected cross-sectionally with a multidimensional adaptation scale. Data processing with Simple Linear Regression Analysis on Jamovi showed that growth mindset is positively and significantly related to innovative work behavior. Millennial civil servants with a high growth mindset also have a high tendency to behave innovatively in the workplace. These results imply that organizations can focus on fostering the growth mindset of Millennial civil servants by providing various development opportunities and promoting innovative work behavior as a means of increasing self-capacity so that they are encouraged to innovate.]]>
