Abstract: Based on the theory of innovation economics, the current study aims to verify the relationship between entrepreneurial alertness and innovation governance through the mediating role of entrepreneurial behaviour. Using the quantitative methodology, three hypotheses were tested. The study uses a questionnaire distributed on a sample consisting (343) managers and heads of department in the Iraqi North Oil Company. Using Hayes bootstrapping, the results of the analysis showed a partial mediation of the relationship between entrepreneurial alertness and innovation governance through the entrepreneurial behaviour variable (H3 = p ≤ 0.01). The results improve the importance of leading organisations based on innovation through the search for mechanisms and tools capable of monitoring and sustaining the creative direction within the organisation. This requires the ability to consciously evaluate existing options and willingness to take risks even when requiring the full identification of the organisation.
