With 107 respondents had their answers, inconclusive that work professionalism, besides direct influence, has the role of enhancing the mediation effect of work motivation and innovative behavior on work efficiency. But, there is not a significant direct affect innovative behavior on work efficiency.From these findings indicates professional levels of any working individual in the upstream oil and gas industries are sufficient to drive its efficiency. However, the question arises as to why innovative behavior does not directly affect work efficiency. Yet, the upstream oil and gas industries are desperately in need of high-tech innovation. As exploration and exploitation of upstream industries face increasingly difficult challenges, and that’s the kind of workspace that gets farther and farther away from shore, especially in the deep sea. The high technology to foresee adversity has been set in advance, therefore local workers don’t get the challenge of innovation. Local workers have the motivation for work and highly professional work, as working for International oil and gas companies is earning higher. The implicationof this finding is how management improve the innovative behavior of local workers to more effect on their work efficiency.
