ABSTRACT
Among other limitations of our study is its cross-sectional nature with a self-reported design. We have, however, shown that the common-method bias is not above critical levels stated in literature, but caution should naturally be given to this aspect. In addition, our conclusions are limited by small size of some of the effects. Yet, the aim of our article was to explore the differences in the effectiveness of financial, participative, and decentralized mechanisms on increased innovative behaviour. We established effects but call for other studies to work more in depth with each individual mechanism as to give a more thorough explanation of the underlying aspects related to innovative work behaviour.
