Abstract: Keeping in view the social learning theory, the current study aims to examine the impact of participative leadership on innovative work behavior with mediating role of employee commitment to change. The change readiness is taken as a moderator between participative leadership and employee commitment to change. This study used convenience sampling technique. A total of 352 complete responses were taken from service sector employees of Pakistan in a time lagged design. SPSS 20, AMOS 18 and Process Marco by Hayes were used to complete the analysis. Results indicate that participative leadership leads to innovative work behavior and employee commitment to change mediates this relationship. Moderation hypothesis is also proved to indicate that employees with higher change readiness are more likely to show commitment to change under a participative leader. Limitations as well as future directions are given at the end. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.
