In this study, researchers proposed that organisational social capital (OSC) have a positive and significant impact on the employee innovative work behaviour. Three forms of OSC i.e., structural, relational and cognitive OSC proposed to have a positive and significant impact on the employee innovative work behavior. To find out how much variance each of these forms of OSC contribute in employee innovative work behaviour, correlation and multiple regression analyses were applied on a sample of 235 employees collected from an IT and computer-based service provider firm situated in China. Results and findings from these analyses significantly and positively supported the three hypotheses of this study. Moreover, structural OSC explained highest variation in dependent variable, employee innovative work behaviour, followed by cognitive and relational OSC respectively. Further, theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.

Healthcare workers’ innovative work behaviour plays a key role in generating innovation. To date determinants of innovative work behaviour are not completely detected and there is a call for additional empirical evidence on organizational-level factors influencing individual’s innovation. This study empirically explores the relationships between organizational climate, organisation’s openness to innovation, and innovative work behaviour in the context of a public sector healthcare organization. A survey has been conducted on employees of a large Italian public sector hospital. Data collected on 560 professionals have been analyzed through Structural Equation Modelling technique. The results show that organisational climate affects employees’ innovative work behavior both directly and indirectly through organisation’s openness to innovation. Specifically our findings highlight that organization’s openness to innovation partially mediates the relationship between organizational climate and employees’ innovative work behavior. The results should lead managers to consider the importance of organizational climate and openness to innovation as effective levers to pull in order to improve employees’ innovative work behavior.

AbstractCompetition between companies relies on innovations from their employees. The potential of innovative employees could be developed since they were college students. One of the many ways to see their potential is by looking at how they perceive their capabilities, impacts, and means in academic settings, also known as learner empowerment. This study aims to look at the relationship between Learner Empowerment and Innovative Work Behavior in University of Indonesia college students. Participants of this research are 539 students above freshman year, gathered using the convenience sampling technique. The instrument used are the Innovative Work Behavior Scale by Janssen (2000) (? = 0,88) and the Learner Empowerment Scale by Frymier dkk. (1996) (? = 0,87), both instruments are adapted accordingly to suit the participants for this research. Analysis techniques used are Pearson's Correlation, Independent Sample T-Test, and One-way ANOVA. Results showed that there's a positive significant relationship between learner empowerment and innovative work behaviour. Dimensions of learner empowerment (meaningfulness, competence, impact) also have significant relationships to innovative work behaviour, with impact as the strongest determinant. Further research can explore other factors that explain the relationship between these two variables.Keywords: College Students; Correlational Research; Innovative Work Behavior; Learner Empowerment AbstrakPersaingan antar perusahaan pada masa ini membutuhkan ide inovatif dari karyawannya.

In this context, the study explored the relationship between organizational climate and employee innovative work behaviour among food manufacturing industries in Malaysia. The study is a descriptive correlational survey research design where data is sourced out from a total of randomly sampled 260 employees. Results revealed that a favourable organizational climate on innovation, proactivity, and risk-taking is prevailing among the companies. A very high level of innovative work behaviour is emanating among the employees on idea exploration, generation, championing, and implementation. Test of differences showed that employee gender, position, unit, and years of service spelt significant differences in the perception of the employees on organizational climate and innovative work behaviour. A meaningful relationship surfaced between organizational climate and employee innovative work behaviour, suggesting that for food manufacturing industries to sustain innovative and competitive advantages, there is a need to promote a nurturing and encouraging entrepreneurial organizational climate. Finally, a congruency among the domains of organizational climate and employee innovative work behaviour emerged. It suggests that when higher positive organizational climate surfaces, the more likely the employee's manifest innovation work behaviour.

The innovative work behaviour constitutes a set of actions of opportunity exploration, idea generation, idea promotion and idea realization. Although generic scales are available, there are none to explore innovative behaviour in teaching practice. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a scale to measure teacher's innovative work behaviour. It was designed as an instrumental- transversal study. A sample of 458 primary school teachers (86.4% women, Mage = 34.67 years, Mseniority = 7.77 years) answered the developed scale with other standardized measures of psychological capital and job satisfaction. Factor analyses indicated a tetra-factorial structure that explained 69% of the total variance. Twelve items with high reliability integrated the final version of the scale. Evidence of convergent, discriminant and concurrent validity was obtained.

Abstract: The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) gives impetus to educational reform. Education experts have recently recognised the benefits of using technology in learning and teaching. They believe that innovations will shape Education 4.0 and that teachers will need to be prepared to build creative learning environments that support student creativity. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between teamwork, principal support, humor, and innovative work behaviour (IWB) among teachers. This study was conducted using a questionnaire, with a sample size of 354 school teachers in Malaysia. Multiple linear regression analysis has shown that teachers with high quality of teamwork and principal support were more likely to report innovative work behaviour. The findings indicated that teachers who frequently use humour can create more innovative behaviour. This paper can help managers and policymakers in the education sector, to develop a better understanding of these aspects, and their influence on teachers' innovative behaviour at work. In doing so, it would be helpful if teachers learnt effective procedures for innovative behaviour in class, via means of teamwork, humor, and principal support, to enhance their educational efforts. It is, therefore useful to establish university courses for pre-service teachers, focusing on new collaborative innovation strategies to encourage creativity and innovation in educational settings, and to apply collaborative creativity exercises in the classroom.   Keywords: Teamwork quality, Humor, Principal support, Teachers, Innovative work behavior, Malaysia
