The statistical population of this study consists of all Abadan Port and Maritime Bureau staff 175 persons out of whom 120 were selected based on the Krejcie and Morgan table using a simple random sampling method. - It is analytical. Two standard questionnaires, Johnson's Innovative Career Behavior (2000) and Mohammadi and Etemadi's Cooperative Budgeting (2007) were used to collect data. The data were analyzed in two parts: descriptive and inferential statistics using structural equations in LISREl and SPSS. Based on the findings, there is a direct and significant relationship between participation in Abadan port and the shipping management staff's innovative behavior budget (P <0.05). The moderating role of age-variable demographic variables other than age 50 or more moderates the impact of participation on the budget of innovative employee behavior. Only the undergraduate education variable moderated the impact of budgetary participation on employees' innovative behavior, and the variable of service experience in the range of 5 to 10 years and 10 to 15 years moderated the impact of budgetary participation on innovative employee behavior.
