<![CDATA[Innovative work behavior (IWB) is essential for technology-oriented service firms, yet its relationship with organizational climate and employee collaboration remains insufficiently explored. This study examined the associations between innovation climate, employee collaboration, and IWB among employees of technology-oriented service firms in Kendari, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional survey involved 210 purposively selected employees between August and December 2025. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression using IBM SPSS Statistics 30. Both innovation climate (r = .56, p < .001) and employee collaboration (r = .50, p < .001) were positively correlated with IWB. Regression results indicated significant positive associations for innovation climate (β = .43) and employee collaboration (β = .34), with the model explaining approximately 40% of IWB variance (adjusted R² = .40, F(2, 207) = 71.38, p < .001). Innovation climate demonstrated a stronger association with IWB than collaboration. These findings highlight the importance of supportive organizational environments and collaborative practices in fostering employee innovation, although causal relationships cannot be established from the cross-sectional design.]]>
