• While examining the field of innovation, a research gap was found concerning the need to examine the contextual factors affecting management of innovation and turnover intention (TI) in knowledge workers. Investigating a sample of Indian knowledge workers (n = 312) and applying multilevel modelling (MLM) using structural equation modelling, the current study found that the psychological contract and rewards and recognition were strong mediators between perceived supervisor support, innovation and TI. A better fit model emerged when examining four competing models using MLM. This research examines the theoretical and practical implications of the results.
