However, it should be taken into account as a source to provide a basic idea for future research.
Practical implications
As a result of the analysis of the data collected from the marketing and advertising sectors, where creativity and innovation are common, it can be explained that innovative work behavior has positive effects, and that the positive effects continue with the effect of leader support on innovative work behaviors.

The research is original since it is carried out in marketing and advertising companies where traditional activities are not accepted, constantly innovative ideas and thoughts are stated and innovative behavior of employees is important in terms of raising awareness.
