This paper develops and tests a theoretical model that explores the effects of U.S. federal employees’ intrinsic motivation on innovativeness and innovativeness on performance. The study (n = 37,083 U.S. federal employees) was largely supported through structural equation modeling analyses. The results of this secondary data analysis demonstrate that there are significant positive relationships between intrinsic motivation and innovativeness, and innovativeness and performance in U.S. federal employees. Implications of these results for human resource management research and practice are discussed.
