The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the relationship between communication and innovation behavior, and to determine the mediating role of organizational trust on innovation behavior. We find that both formal and informal communication have a positive effect on organizational trust. Hypothesis 3, formal communication is not significant in its relationship with innovation behavior. On the other hand, informal communication has a positive effect on the relationship with innovation behavior. Hypothesis 5, rejected. Hypothesis 6, which tested the mediating effect of organizational trust, was found to have a mediating effect. This study confirmed various issues and drew implications based on the type of communication.
