Abstract: Despite increasing research on public sector innovation in recent years, the organizational and demographic contextual variables that affect innovation implementation are not well known. Utilizing two datasets (2012 and 2017) from the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC), this study tests how organizational and demographic contextual variables affect innovation in public organizations. The results reveal that both organizational and demographic contextual variables are associated with the implementation of innovation in public organizations. In particular, employees working in larger organizations and policy agencies tends to be less innovative whereas men, more educated employees, more experienced employees, and organizational managers are more innovative.
