چکیده [English]

Introduction
This study investigates the role of work meaningfulness as a mediator in the relationship between servant leadership and innovative work behaviors, addressing a gap in research on how leadership styles enhance the personal significance employees derive from their work.

Method
The research employed a descriptive survey methodology with a stratified random sampling method to collect data from a sample of 277 employees within Tehran's knowledge-
based companies. The data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests for normality, and structural equation modeling using SPSS and AMOS 24.0 to test the hypotheses.

Results
The findings revealed a significant positive impact of servant leadership on innovative work behaviors (p < 0.01), mediated by the work meaningfulness. Servant leadership empowers employees to become innovators by instilling purpose and growth opportunities. The study underscores the transformative potential of servant leadership in driving innovation within knowledge-based firms.

Discussion
The findings indicated the significance of servant leadership in enhancing innovative work behaviors through the mediating influence of work meaningfulness. This study contributes to understanding how leadership can inspire and facilitate innovation by aligning employees' sense of purpose with organizational goals. It emphasizes the need for knowledge-based firms, especially in developing countries, to adopt servant leadership practices to foster a culture of innovation and productivity. The results suggest that when employees perceive their work as meaningful, they are more engaged and innovative, aligning with the organization's innovation objectives.
