The Relationship

Several previous studies have tested the relationship between leadership type and innovative work behavior. However, there have been only a few empirical studies examining the mediating role of creative self-efficacy on the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and innovative work behavior. This study was conducted to fill this gap to understand the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and innovative work behavior and the role of creative self-efficacy as a mediating variable for the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and innovative work behavior. Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed to 190 employees of the Astra Honda Authorized Service Station (AHASS) and analyzed using Structural equation modeling with SmartPLS software. The results indicate that entrepreneurial leadership increases the innovative work behavior of employees. Besides, entrepreneurial leadership increases creative self-efficacy and leads to increased employee innovative work behavior. This study contributes to the development of the literature by providing empirical evidence on the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and innovative work behavior and the role of creative self-efficacy in innovative behavior. This study confirms Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) that a person's self-efficacy will generate creative ideas in the workplace and produce innovative work. The practical implication is that leaders must provide greater opportunities for employees to develop creative ideas in the workplace to achieve an increase in innovative work behavior.

PurposeThis study revisits the role of work engagement (WE) on innovative work behavior (IWB) in conjunction with the job demands–resources (JD-R) model, specifically examining its mediating role between antecedent variables of psychological well-being (PWB), interpersonal conflict (IPC) and perceived organizational support (POS).Design/methodology/approachThe study was conducted within five different sectors and 416 work settings in Turkey. A cross-sectional, correlational research design was used, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to test the mediating effect of WE.FindingsThe results of the SEM provided partial support for eight hypotheses. The results of this study demonstrate a positive relationship between PWB, POS, WE and IWB. This indicates that resources are vital in increasing both WE and IWB. As expected, the correlation of IPC and IWB resulted in a negative relationship. The findings demonstrate a positive relationship between PWB and WE and IWB.Research limitations/implicationsExtending the model, future research could incorporate the antecedents as mediators and utilize them to further explore the mechanisms of employee engagement (EE) and the IWB link. It would also be beneficial to include other variables such as personal differences, trust, personal environment fit, fairness in the workplace, recognition and organizational culture and employee value proposition as moderators of EE and IWB.Practical implicationsThe findings offer the suggestion of few practical applications such as the need to encourage organizations to enhance PWB to foster positive feelings in the work environment. This includes increasing employees' effort and dedication by utilizing POS in the workplace and considering employee's well-being. Additionally, EE should be an important organizational strategy to positively influence employee creativity within the workplace.Social implicationsThis research was conducted within the Turkish business context; it would be worthwhile to validate the findings of this study in a multicultural context that did not share similar basic characteristics as those in Turkey. There could be a comparative study of EE between Turkey and other countries as a cross-cultural investigation.Originality/valueThe results of data analysis have revealed an enhanced understanding of the role of the mediation effect of WE on IWBs. This study also expands the concept that psychological well-being can enhance WE, which in turn corresponds to more IWB in the context of the JD-R model. The findings indicate that in order to better comprehend its function, IPC needs to be further examined with other antecedents.

The Relationship

The innovative work behavior (IWB) or creativity of employees is regarded as the key to the sustainable innovation performance of an organization. In the field of human resource management (HRM), the relationship between an organization’s high-performance work system (HPWS) and IWB has been studied extensively. However, the current understanding of organizational external antecedents is limited. Our paper focuses on an extra-organizational government support factor, government support for talent policy (GSTP). Similar to HRM policies within an organization, GSTP also has an ability–motivation–opportunity framework that may influence the IWB of employees. We integrate the resource dependence theory, institutional theory, and theory of planned behavior (TPB) to propose a theoretical model of the mechanism of GSTP influence on IWB. Using a structural equation modeling approach, we empirically verify the hypotheses in a survey dataset of HRM practitioners in 152 technology-based enterprises in China. The results indicate that the external antecedent, GSTP, positively influences the innovative attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control of HRM practitioners in the organization. Innovative attitude and perceived behavioral control completely mediated the relationship between GSTP and innovative intention. Moreover, there is a distal indirect effect between GSTP and IWB. The paper contributes to filling a gap in the innovation policy literature. In practice, both HPWS and individual employees should be concerned about the possible role of GSTP.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of innovative work behavior (IWB) by examining the moderating role of transformational leadership in the context of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).Design/methodology/approachThe study surveyed 371 employees from SMEs in Bosnia and Herzegovina by adopting convenience sampling. Hierarchical regression was used to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe findings supported the authors’ assumptions that IWB determinants such as psychological empowerment, participation in the decision-making process and organizational justice are positively related to IWB. Besides, transformational leadership moderates the relationship between organizational justice and IWB.Research limitations/implicationsThe data for this study was collected by using convenience sampling as well as a cross-sectional survey method, which limits the generalization of results.Practical implicationsTo spur the IWB among the employees in SMEs, an organization has to create an environment where psychological empowerment is high, employees have a chance to participate in the decision-making process and organizational rules and procedures are fair. In the case of organizational justice, the relationship shall be stronger if transformational leadership is present.Originality/valueIn SMEs, transformational leadership plays an important role. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study that demonstrates the moderating effect of transformational leadership on the relationship between one specific IWB determinant and IWB.
