A quantitative study was conducted by survey questionnaires to the employees of telecommunications industries in Malaysia. In addition, structural equation modelling (SEM) is used to determine the effect of employee creativity on organisational innovation through the mediating role of innovative behaviour with the support of the componential theory of organisational creativity and innovation.
