This study builds on an existing structural model developed to examine the influence ofleadership and organizational culture on innovation and satisfaction of engineers in Aus-tralian public sectors (APS). The objective of this study is to increase the understanding ofinnovation process with a focus on causal relationships among critical factors. To achieve thisobjective, the study develops an assessment approach to help predict creativity and workmeaningfulness of engineers in the APS. Three quantitative analysis methods were sequentially conducted in this study including correlation analysis, path analysis, and Bayesiannetworks. A correlation analysis was conducted to pinpoint the strong association betweenkey factors studied. Subsequently, path analysis was employed to identify critical pathwayswhich were accordingly used as a structure to develop Bayesian networks. The findings ofthe study revealed practical strategies for promoting (1) transformational leadership and (2)innovative culture in public sector organizations since these two factors were found to be keydrivers for individual creativity and work meaningfulness of their engineers. This integratedapproach may be used as a decision support tool for managing the innovation process forengineers in the public sectors.(original abstract)
