Abstract : The modern corporate environment is characterized by rapid change, and innovation is becoming increasingly important to an organization's success. The term "innovative work behavior" (IWB) refers to the proactive efforts made by employees to develop, promote, and use new concepts or solutions that enhance organizational outcomes. The study looks at the relationship between workplace well-being, innovative work behavior (IWB), constructive working conditions (Decent Work), and other domains that require a high level of creativity. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), decent employment includes work-life balance, safe working conditions, fair remuneration, and chances for both professional and personal growth. However, innovative work behavior, or IWB, is required to promote organizational growth and competitive advantage. This study provides a thorough evaluation and correlational analysis of earlier research on the connection between respectable job and IWB. Despite the fact that research on decent work has advanced over the last 20 years, there are still few studies that examine it at the micro level. There is currently a dearth of empirical research on the results of decent work, and comprehensive studies on the subject are lacking, therefore definitive conclusions about the influence of decent work on work innovation, work behavior, and people's wellbeing are still lacking. The present study examines the shortcomings of existing ideas and research on decent work as well as the relationship between decent work and creative work practices and wellbeing. There has been discussion of the results' broad implications as well as important organizational and individual actions for decent employment. There are a few key topics for further study in the fields of creative work practices, decent work, and mental and overall health.
