Abstract
Despite innovation being a key trait for addressing public sector challenges, research on public sector innovation is still disparate relying on models derived from New Public Management (NPM) rather than sound theoretical frameworks. This paper tests a multi-dimensional cultural leadership model of public sector innovation using a panel dataset (2011, 2014, and 2017) from the Canadian Public Service Employee Survey. The results showcase two cultural variables, stability and supportiveness, and transformational leadership are associated with organisational innovativeness in the public sector. Furthermore, using year as a proxy, the results suggest a weak effect of the political climate on innovativeness as a result of dampening by cultural and leadership dimensions.
