Architecture industry, in particular demands creativity and innovative behavior from employees. Authentic leadership has been found as an appropriate leadership style to cultivate aforementioned desired behaviors. On the other hand, motivation has been found as a significant factor influencing the creative and innovative behavior of staff. This study has employed a deductive quantitative approach to examine the influence of authentic leadership on creativity and innovative work behavior through intrinsic motivation. The findings of PLS-SEM analysis reveals that authentic leadership is positively correlated with creativity, innovative work behavior and intrinsic motivation, while intrinsic motivation does not mediate the authentic leadership-creativity and authentic leadership innovative work behavior relationships. The insignificant relationships may be due to existence of other mediators involved in the aforementioned relationships, which can be investigated by future studies. The theoretical and practical implications of findings have been elaborated in the final chapter.
