Local government or better known as the local authority vested with the power to plan, develop, and regulate businesses in the area within its jurisdiction plays a significant role in creating a conducive environment for businesses to grow and flourish. In playing this role, employees in local authority must possess a certain degree of innovative work behavior. This paper reports on a study that investigated innovative work behavior orientation among employees of the local government. A total of 100 employees of a local city council responded to a self-administered questionnaire on innovative work behavior. The results revealed that respondents scored a moderate high orientation on the innovative work behavior scale.
