Research question-/s: How does the time perceived by employees influence their individual innovative behaviour?

Methodology: The research strategy of the study is quantitative with the use of a deductive method with influences of induction. Overall the design is a cross-sectional study design with the primary source of data collection through an online survey administered to a selected sample.
