AB  - This study addresses primary issues that are involved in innovation capability among the employees
in the oil and gas industry. Three factors namely knowledge sharing, management support and trust and goal
clarity are examined to help enhance the understanding on innovation capability among employees. The
methodology utilizes primary data from questionnaires administered to a sample of 217 employees in oil and gas
companies. These self-administered questionnaires were distributed using the non-probability sampling
technique. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze
data via Statistical Package Social Sciences (SPSS). Results established that all variables have a significant
positive influence over innovation capability. Recommendations to successfully compete in the current
turbulent economic times include improving best-practices that enhance knowledge sharing, management
support and trust and goal clarity among employees which will eventually have positive ramifications over
innovation capability.
