Abstract

Yenilikçi iş davranışı, rekabetin artması, teknolojinin değişiminin hızlanmasıyla birlikte dikkat çeken bir kavram olmuştur ve yenilikçi iş davranışını etkileyen faktörler ve modeller hala ilgi çeken bir araştırma alanıdır. Yenilikçi iş davranışının, akademisyenlerin performansını olumlu yönde etkilediğine dair yapılmış çalışmalardan yola çıkarak, bu çalışma akademisyenlerin bireysel özümseme kapasitesi, işe angaje olma, ağ oluşturma ve sosyal medya kullanımının yenilikçi iş davranışı üzerindeki etkilerini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada akademisyenlerin yenilikçi iş davranışını etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek için sosyal değişim teorisi ile yenilikleri keşfetme ve mevcudu geliştirme teorisi kapsamında bireysel özümseme kapasitesi, işe angaje olma, ağ oluşturma ve sosyal medya kullanımı gibi bireysel kavramları entegre eden bir model önerilmektedir.

PROPOSING A MODEL FOR FACTORS AFFECTING INNOVATIVE WORK BEHAVIOUR

Abstract

Innovative work behaviour has become a prominent concept with the increasing competition and the rapid pace of technological change, and factors and models influencing innovative work behaviour remain a compelling area of research. Based on studies showing that innovative work behaviour has a positive impact on the performance of academics, this study aims to analyse the effects of individual absorptive capacity, employee work engagement, networking, and social media use on the innovative work behaviour of academics. To identify the factors affecting innovative work behaviour of academics, this study proposes a model integrating individual concepts such as individual absorptive capacity, work engagement, networking, and social media usage within the framework of social exchange theory and the theory of exploration and exploitation.

Keywords
