The Mediating Role of Organisational Commitment in the Effect of Psychological Empowerment, Innovative Climate, and Knowledge Sharing on Innovative Work Behaviour: A Field Study

Abstract

This study aims to explore how organisational commitment mediates the impact of psychological empowerment, innovative climate, and knowledge sharing on innovative work behaviour (IWB) within the ceramic and refractory industry. According to the “Ceramics Sector Report” by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Industry and Technology, the study population comprises white-collar employees working in enterprises that have been awarded R&D and design centre certificates in the ceramics and refractory industry in Türkiye. Data were collected from 571 individuals through questionnaires. The obtained data were analysed using SPSS and LISREL software. The study found that organisational commitment mediates the relationship between psychological empowerment and innovative work behaviour. Furthermore, organisational commitment acts as a bridge between an innovative climate and innovative work behaviour. Moreover, organisational commitment mediates the relationship between knowledge sharing and innovative work behaviour (IWB).
