Abstract

The hospitality sector plays a vital role in the world economy, encompassing a variety of hospitality-related services, such as accommodation, food and beverage, and travel. This industry not only serves customers, but also contributes greatly to economic growth, job creation, and tourism development in many countries, including Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to conduct an empirical assessment of a model analyzing the effects of psychological capital, leadership autonomy support on innovative behavior. The researcher also examines the mediating effect of individual creativity. This study uses the Self-Determination Theory (SDT), which states that employees perceive leaders as autonomy supporters positively influencing psychological capital, individual creativity and innovative behavior. The population in this study was 255 and the sample used was 162 employees at Hotel Karlita, Hotel Luminor, and Wanawisata Baturraden.
