curiosity (EC) on innovative work behaviour (IWB) in this study. In addition, the IWB
and EC levels of the employees of five-star hotels are compared considering their personal
characteristics.
Design - Hypotheses were tested within correlational research and causal-comparative
research design.

Originality of the Research- The current study focuses on a relatively unexplored area, EC in
hospitality enterprises and its relationships with IWB.
Findings - Data were collected from 247 hotel employees working in five-star hotels in
Antalya, Turkey. The results showed that the IWB and EC levels of hotel employees were
high. Moreover, the interest and deprivation type of curiosity affected their IWB. In addition,
differences in EC level were found in relation to their personal characteristics. However, no
difference was found in IWB levels. |
