How do learning organisation and reward system affect lecturers’ innovative work behaviour?

Abstract

Innovative work behaviour (IWB) is essential for the survival of individuals and organisations. Therefore, this research examines IWB based on learning organisation, reward systems, and job involvement perspectives. It also proves job involvement’s role in mediating learning organisation and reward systems on IWB. A quantitative approach was adopted with a causal design, and questionnaires were administered to 230 lecturers of private universities in Indonesia to collect data. The result of path analysis showed that learning organisation, reward system, and job involvement significantly affects IWB. Job involvement also mediates the relationship between the learning organisation and rewards system with IWB. Therefore, a new model that learning organisation and reward system affects IWB mediated by job involvement is confirmed. IWB can be improved through learning organisation and reward system with the support of job involvement.
