Innovative work behaviour (IWB) of employees is considered substantial for the organizational development to achieve competitive edge. That is why organizations are continuously working to improve their mechanism of enhancing IWB of the employees.

It further explores the moderating role of multiculturalism between TOC, TOP and IWB. Data is collected from 362 contractual employees of the multinational companies of Pakistan through questionnaire survey.
