Abstract

For organizations, it is crucial for employees to exhibit innovative work behaviors, develop creative ideas, and strive to implement them. In this process, the presence of leader-member exchange shapes employees' experiences in the workplace, while job crafting allows individuals to reorganize their work and relationships, adding more meaning to their duties. In this context, the aim of this research is to determine the role of job crafting in the relationship between leader-member exchange and innovative work behavior. The research sample consists of employees in public institutions and private enterprises. A survey was used as the data collection tool, and a cross-sectional field study was chosen within the framework of the quantitative method. Convenience sampling was used in sample selection. Analyses conducted to test the study model revealed a positive relationship between the leader-member exchange variable and the variables of innovative work behavior and job crafting. Furthermore, job crafting was found to be positively related to innovative work behavior. Finally, a mediation analysis revealed that job crafting mediates the effect of leader-member exchange on innovative work behavior.

Özet

Örgütler açısından çalışanların kurumda yenilikçi iş davranışı sergilemesi, yaratıcı fikirler geliştirmesi ve bunları uygulamaya yönelik çabalarının olması önemli görülmektedir. Bu süreçte özellikle lider-üye etkileşiminin varlığı çalışan bireylerin iş ortamındaki tecrübelerini şekillendirirken, iş becerikliliği de kişilerin işlerini ve ilişkilerini yeniden düzenleyerek görevlerine daha fazla anlam katmalarına olanak tanımaktadır. Bu bağlamda araştırmanın amacı lider-üye etkileşiminin yenilikçi iş davranışı ilişkisinde iş becerikliliğinin rolünü tespit etmektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, kamu kurumları ve özel işletmelerde çalışan kişiler oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak anket formu kullanılmış, araştırma deseni olarak ise nicel yöntem çerçevesinde kesitsel saha araştırması tercih edilmiştir. Örneklem seçiminde kolayda örnekleme yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Çalışma modelini test etmek için gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucunda lider-üye etkileşimi değişkeninin yenilikçi iş davranışı ve iş becerikliliği değişkenleriyle arasında pozitif ilişkinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca iş becerikliliğinin yenilikçi iş davranışıyla pozitif ilişki içerisinde bulunduğu saptanmıştır. Son olarak gerçekleştirilen aracılık analizi neticesinde ise lider-üye etkileşiminin yenilikçi iş davranışı üzerindeki etkisinde iş becerikliliğinin aracılık rolü bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir.
