  Abstract
  In organizational behavior, the workforces' innovative behavior is a widely researched issue due to its meaningful relationship with various organizational outcomes. In the same way, effective behavior is an outcome of various dynamic issues among which the leadership behavior is worth mentioning. The leaders, over the intellectual stimulation, motivate and inspire their workforces to show their efforts and potentials by adapting innovative ways to achieve organizational objectives. The concerned workforces might be able to realize the said objective more effectively when they have justifiable insight about the provision of fair rewards. In this connection, this article aimed at exploring relationships among variables understudy in the context of higher educational institutions, KP, Pakistan. Applying the statistical procedures, this study provides significant evidence about the relationships among research variables which might be helpful for the institutional management in introducing suitable policies, programs, and practices for promoting the workforces' innovative behavior in higher institutions.
