The population of the study consists of academic staff working in universities in Türkiye. The data collection process was completed with volunteer academic staff without sample selection. In this direction, after obtaining the ethics committee’s permission for the research, the online questionnaire form was sent to the academic staff via e-mail, and 506 academic staff were reached. Structural equation modelling and mediation effect analysis were performed. According to the findings, it was concluded that organizational structure has a significant mediating effect on the effect of holacracy adoption level on innovative behaviour. Accordingly, as universities develop processes and practices to increase the perceptions of academic staff towards the organisational structure, they will also increase the effect of the level of adoption of holacracy on innovative behaviour. In addition, it was determined that the organisational structure did not have a mediating role in the effect of the level of adoption of holacracy on resistance to change.}, number={3}, publisher={Türkiye Bilimler Akademisi}
