Abstract: Continuous innovation is integral for an organisation to get sustainability and growth. Adopting new technological advancements will bring benefits but might have a negative impact on current business modes. Adopting new technology leads to the question mark that is it always true that innovation alone will result in organisational sustainability. The focus of the study is to highlight that sustainability is a linkage between the importance of employees work behaviour, their adaptability coupled with technological advancements. Furthermore, other factors such as employee self-efficacy, perceived leader's proficiency, and perceived employee-friendly workplace play a significant role to innovate work behaviour. This conclusion for other factors impacting innovates work behaviour was made based on the survey conducted at various telecommunication companies across Indonesia comprising of 208 participants. Based on the above results, further theoretical and managerial research topics are recommended that will allow predicting organisations growth and sustainability better.

Keywords: business management; human factors; innovative work behaviour; strategic management; sustainability.
