the study hypotheses were tested by applying analyzes at the level of individuals based on survey data collected from 148 employees of five small and medium enterprises in the industrial sector.

the results of data analysis using SPSS showed that participation in decision-making, teamwork, communication, freedom and trust, and the development of creative behavior is positively associated with the ability to innovate.
