Innovation work behavior encompasses creativity, the implementation of ideas, and providing benefits. In this sense, any activity that is beneficial to the organization, such as adopting new methods or generating new ideas to improve processes, is considered innovative work behavior. With the advent of the New Public Management (NPM) approach in public institutions, innovative work behaviors have become exceptionally crucial. This study aims to explore the impact of person-organization (P-O) fit on innovative work behaviors and the moderating effect of affective commitment. Data was collected via surveys from 221 white-collar workers in a district municipality's central courthouse and court affiliates in the Aegean region of Turkey. Statistical analysis was carried out at a 95% confidence level using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 23, including Pearson correlation, regression, and simple slope analysis. The results show that P-O fit positively influences innovative work behaviors, and affective commitment plays a moderating role in this relationship by enhancing individuals' commitment to their organizations.

BİREY-ÖRGÜT UYUMUNUN YENİLİKÇİ ÇALIŞMA DAVRANIŞLARINA ETKİSİ: AMPİRİK BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Öz

Yenilikçi çalışma davranışı, yaratıcılık, fikirlerin uygulanması ve fayda sağlamasını içermektedir. Bu anlamda, örgütün faydasına olan her tür faaliyet, yeni yöntemlerin benimsenmesi veya süreci geliştirecek yeni fikirlerin üretilmesi gibi herhangi bir eylem yenilikçi iş davranışı olarak kabul edilir. Kamu kurumlarında yeni kamu yönetimi (YKY) yaklaşımıyla birlikte yenilikçi iş davranışları son derece önemli hale gelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, birey-örgüt uyumunun yenilikçi çalışma davranışları üzerindeki etkisini incelemek ve bu ilişkide duygusal bağlılığın rolünü açığa çıkarmaktır. Araştırma kapsamında, Türkiye’nin Ege bölgesinde bir ilçe belediyesinin merkez adliyesi ve mülhakat adliyelerinde 221 beyaz yakalı örnekleminde anket yoluyla veriler toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizleri SPSS 21.0 ve AMOS 23 programlarında %95 güven düzeyinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın hipotezlerini test etmek üzere Pearson korelasyon, regresyon ve basit eğim analizi uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, birey-örgüt uyumunun, yenilikçi çalışma davranışlarını pozitif yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca, duygusal bağlılığın bu ilişkide düzenleyici bir rol oynadığı tespit edilmiştir. Duygusal bağlılık, bireylerin örgütlerine olan bağlılığını artırarak yenilikçi çalışma davranışlarını teşvik etmektedir.
