Penelitian ini bertujan untuk melihat efek moderasi gaya kognitif asimilator-eksplorer terhadap hubungan antara kepribadian big five dan perilaku kerja inovatif. Efek moderasi dipertimbangkan karena adanya hubungan yang tidak konsisten antara kepribadian big five dan perilaku kerja inovatif. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada perusahaan manufaktur perkapalan yang sedang melakukan inovasi. Hasil utama penelitian ini diolah menggunakan uji regresi dengan PROCESS macro dari Hayes 2013 dan disertai dengan hasil tambahan berupa uji korelasi antara variabel kepribadian big five, perilaku kerja inovatif dan gaya kognitif asimilator-eksplorer serta olah data demografi. Berdasarkan uji korelasi, 4 dimensi kepribadian big five berkorelasi signifikan dengan perilaku kerja inovatif, 1 dimensi kepribadian big five berkorelasi signifikan dengan gaya kognitif asimilator-eksplorer dan tidak ada korelasi antara perilaku kerja inovatif dan gaya kognitif asimilator-eksplorer. Berdasarkan olah data demografi diperoleh hasil bahwa terdapat perbedaan skor gaya kognitif asimilator-eksplorer antara lama kerja, unit dan pendidikan. Selanjutnya hasil uji regresi dinyatakan bahwa terdapat efek moderasi gaya kognitif asimilator-eksplorer terhadap hubungan antara dimensi kepribadian neuroticism dan perilaku kerja inovatif F 3,121 =4,76, R =0,03, b=-0,16, t 121 =-2,18 p.
