Journal of Islamic Countries Society of Statistical Sciences (J-ISOSS), 9.

Abstract
The concept of entrepreneurial leadership has been extensively studied and has shown positive effects on promoting innovative work behavior among employees and promoting a culture of innovation in organizational climate. However, there is a lack of rigorous research on this topic within the context of Pakistan, particularly in the banking sector. To fill this research gap, this study has employed a quantitative research methodology, using a questionnaire to collect primary data from management and employees of various commercial banks in Lahore, Pakistan. Convenience sampling was used to obtain data from 350 respondents. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the validity and reliability of the research model, while structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to test the hypotheses. The findings indicated that entrepreneurial leadership is positively associated with innovative work behavior, and intrinsic motivation partially mediates this relationship. The study contributes to academia by providing empirical evidence and practical implications for organizations seeking to promote innovation and intrinsic motivation in their workforce. Future direction for researchers includes they should opt either mixed methods or qualitative research along with a purposive sampling technique to enhance the validity of the study results. Overall, the study's insights provide valuable knowledge for developing strategies to enhance innovation and creativity in the workforce, contributing to the long-term success of organizations.
