The importance of innovative behavior for organizational effectiveness has been wildly accepted. Spite of the importance of organizational structure to promote the innovative behavior, little is known regarding the decentralized system in service industry. In addition, the role of supervisor support in such circumstances is highly significant; however, the link between decentralization, supervisory support and innovation is not particularly clear. Therefore, the current study aims to examine the impact of decentralization on employees’ innovative behavior and also to investigate the moderating role of supervisor support in this process. Data was collected from 323 employees from five star hotels in North Cyprus. Structural equation modelling was applied to evaluate the measurements and model’s fit. The study hypotheses were tested using LISREL 8.54. The results revealed that decentralized system has a positive impact on employees’ innovative behavior. Moreover, moderating role of supervisory support in helping employees to achieve organizational innovative goals was significant. The existence of decentralization opens new opportunities for organizations and increases the innovative behavior among employees. Employees who have degree of freedom for decision-making and risk-taking within an organization are more creative, and will take the initiative to seek new and efficient ways and approaches of doing their jobs.

权力下放与创新行为：主管支持的调节作用

创新行为对于组织有效性的重要性已被广泛接受。尽管组织结构对于促进创新行为很重要，但对于服务行业的分散系统知之甚少。此外，在这种情况下，主管支持的作用非常重要；但是，权力下放，监督支持与创新之间的联系尚不明确。因此，当前的研究旨在检验权力下放对员工创新行为的影响，并研究在此过程中主管支持的调节作用。数据来自北塞浦路斯五星级酒店的323名员工。应用结构方程建模来评估测量结果和模型的拟合度。研究假设使用LISREL 8进行了检验。54.结果表明，权力下放制度对雇员的创新行为产生积极影响。此外，监督支持在帮助员工实现组织创新目标方面的作用很重要。分权的存在为组织带来了新的机会，并增加了员工之间的创新行为。在组织内部具有决策和冒险自由度的员工会更具创造力，并会主动寻求新的高效方式和方法来开展工作。分权的存在为组织带来了新的机会，并增加了员工之间的创新行为。在组织内部具有决策和冒险自由度的员工会更具创造力，并会主动寻求新的高效方式和方法来开展工作。分权的存在为组织带来了新的机会，并增加了员工之间的创新行为。在组织内部具有决策和冒险自由度的员工会更具创造力，并会主动寻求新的高效方式和方法来开展工作。
