Innovation is known as crucial in telecommunications industry. However, it was quite difficult to find research related to innovative work behavior in telecommunication industry in Indonesia. The focus of this research is to investigate the relationship between employee self-efficacyand perceived leader’s proficiency into innovative work behavior. After conducting a survey to 264 employees in telco companies in Indonesia, we found that employee innovative work behavior is strongly related with their self-efficacy and how they perceive their leader’s proficiency.These results support prior studies conducted in other countries.
