An Empirical Study on the Mediating Effect of Knowledge Sharing on the Relationship between Organizational Climate Perception and Innovative Work Behavior
Abstract
Being innovative has become a necessity for every
organization to gain competitiveness. Organizations can be innovative by way of
employees who have innovative work behavior. There are various individual and
organizational factors that encourage employees to demonstrate these behaviors.
In this study, "organizational climate perception" and "knowledge
sharing" among these factors are discussed. The relationship between these
two factors and innovative work behavior was revealed by examining the related
literature and the basis of this study was formed by this relationship network. The aim of study is to examine
the relationship between perceived organizational climate and innovative work
behavior and to determine whether the employee knowledge sharing mediates this
relationship. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the data obtained by
survey method were obtained from the employees of development agencies.
Firstly, validity and reliability analyses were performed. The hypotheses
generated by the relevant literature review were tested with the help of SPSS
and AMOS programs. As a result of the findings, it was seen that organizational
climate perception had a significant effect on innovative work behavior and
employees' knowledge sharing played a partial mediator role in this effect.
