The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediator effect of self-efficacy in the influencing relationship between organizational culture perceived by hotel culinary employees and innovative behavior and present practical implications. For this research, group/development/hierarchy/rationality cultural dimensions were recognized in organizational culture. Of the total 320 survey questionnaires, 298 were valid samples recollected. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the influencing relationships therein. As a result, it was found, first, that group culture and development culture had a positive effect on self-efficacy; whereas hierarchy and rationality culture showed no effect. Second, group/development/hierarchical culture showed a significant effect on innovative behavior while the rationality culture showed no effect. Third, self-efficacy was found to have a significant effect on innovative behavior. Forth, self-efficacy was found to play a complete mediator role in the relationships among group culture, development and innovative behavior. Based on the study findings, it is deemed that, although the cultural environment of a hotel organization is familial and change-oriented, if employees do not feel own self-efficacy, innovative behavior cannot be drawn upon. In this sense, hotels are required to encourage employees to recognize self-efficacy and foster a favorable organizational environment for them to follow innovative behaviors.
