The study aims to examine how innovative organizational climate and readiness for change effect project success through innovative work behavior. A thorough examination of the literature was conducted to address this problem. The systematic review included 50 papers in total that reported research on readiness for change, innovative organizational climate, innovative work behavior, project success, social cognitive theory (SCT), and social exchange theory (SET). The SLR uncovered the key findings: as employees work in an innovative and supportive organizational climate, their inventive work behaviors are encouraged, which increases organizational performance. Additionally, support for organizational change and employees' readiness for change are the main drivers of project success. It may be inferred that there is a correlation between adequate preparedness for change, creative work behavior, and an innovative organizational atmosphere. The systematic review will enable modern advancements in industries by focusing on providing reliable solutions to enhance the organizational climate and implementation of change within an organization that leads towards innovative behavior of employees. This is the first study of its kind that implied social exchange theory and social cognitive theory, empirically examining how the individual-level variable i.e. readiness for change, and organizational-level variables i.e. innovative organizational climate improves the success of projects. This article discusses how an innovative organizational environment and readiness for change are essential for fostering creative work behavior among workers in the company.
