At the heart of innovative work behavior (IWB): The moderating role of innovation culture in the relationship between creative self-efficacy and innovative work behavior

Abstract

This study examines the effect of creative self-efficacy on innovative work behavior (IWB) and the role of the subdimensions of innovation culture (organizational values, leadership behaviors, innovative work climate, organizational resources, internal organizational processes, and organizational success) in this process. Research data were collected via an online survey from 249 participants working in a public institution and in the private sector within the information technology sector in Ankara. Hypotheses were tested using confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, PROCESS Macro Model 1, and structural equation modeling. The findings indicate that creative self-efficacy positively and significantly influences IWB. Additionally, it was determined that all subdimensions of innovation culture exhibit positive and significant relationships with IWB. However, moderation analyses revealed that the subdimensions of innovation culture do not play a significant moderating role in the relationship between creative self-efficacy and IWB. On the other hand, the results of the structural equation modeling revealed that innovative work climate and internal organizational processes, in particular, were more prominent. The findings indicate that creative self-efficacy and innovation culture provide direct and complementary contributions to explaining IWB.

Yenilikçi iş davranışının kalbinde ne var? Yaratıcı öz yeterliliğin yenilikçi iş davranışına etkisinde inovasyon kültürünün düzenleyici rolü

Abstract

Bu çalışma, yaratıcı öz yeterliliğin yenilikçi iş davranışı üzerindeki etkisini ve inovasyon kültürünün alt boyutlarının (örgütsel değerler, lider davranışları, inovatif çalışma iklimi, örgütsel kaynaklar, örgüt içi süreçler ve örgütsel başarı) bu süreçteki rolünü incelemektedir. Araştırma verileri, Ankara’da bilgi teknolojileri alanındaki bir kamu kurumu ile özel sektörde çalışan 249 katılımcıdan çevrim içi anket yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Hipotezler doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, korelasyon analizi, PROCESS Macro Model-1 ve yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ile test edilmiştir. Bulgular, yaratıcı öz yeterliliğin yenilikçi iş davranışını pozitif ve anlamlı biçimde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Bunun yanı sıra inovasyon kültürünün tüm alt boyutlarının yenilikçi iş davranışı ile pozitif ve anlamlı ilişkiler sergilediği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, düzenleyicilik analizleri inovasyon kültürünün alt boyutlarının yaratıcı öz yeterlilik ile yenilikçi iş davranışı arasındaki ilişkide anlamlı bir düzenleyici rol üstlenmediğini ortaya koymuştur. Öte yandan yapısal eşitlik modellemesi sonuçları ise, özellikle inovatif çalışma iklimi ile örgüt içi süreçlerin daha ön plana çıktığını göstermiştir. Bulgular, yenilikçi iş davranışının açıklanmasında yaratıcı öz yeterlilik ile inovasyon kültürünün doğrudan ve tamamlayıcı katkılar sunduğunu göstermektedir.
