A Model For Enhancing Innovative Work Behavior
*email: [email protected]
Abstract. Innovation has changed the business paradigm globally in recent years. A model for
enhancing innovative work behavior needs to be developed. This study aims to examine and
determine the relationship between organizational learning and perceived organizational
support for innovative work behavior through work engagement mediation. The study was
conducted on 210 employees of CV. Laksana using the incidental sampling technique. This
study used a questionnaire as a data collection technique. Researchers used SmartPLS 3.0 as an
analysis tool. Researchers tested the relationship with various tests, namely the validity test,
reliability test, hypothetical and simultaneous hypothesis testing. From the research result, it
can be concluded that organizational learning has a significant effect on innovative work
behavior. While the perception of organizational support has no significant effect on innovative
work behavior. Furthermore, work engagement mediates the relationship between
organizational learning and perceived organizational support for innovative work behavior. It is
suggested for further research that researchers may use other variables to improve employees'
innovative work behavior. It is also suggested for companies to be more concerned about the
welfare of employees by fulfilling their rights and giving responsibilities following the work
performed.
1. Introduction
The emergence of the development of globalization in the political, social, economic, and
technological fields is an important thing that affects the life of the organization [1]. Every
organization has a goal, so it requires superior and high-quality human resources to achieve these
goals [2]. Superior and quality resources must be managed properly, as requested to build
organizational commitment [3]. Other factors that can affect the quality and strengths of employees
are internal factors that exist in each employee itself [4]. Each company competes to increase
innovation and productivity in order to stay afloat in the market [5]. Innovation is an important part of
achieving company goals and competition in the era of technological development and competitive
economic environment [6]. New ideas and promotions produced by companies against companies are
competitive advantages through differentiation and improvement of products or services [7].
Innovative work behavior is behavior that includes exploration of opportunities or new ideas,
can also be in the form of implementing new ideas, applying new knowledge, and achieving increased
personal and organizational performance [8]. The ability to utilize the skills and abilities of members
depends on the quality of the existing network [9]. The application of innovative work behavior can
also encourage an employee to develop his potential and also as a means of self-actualization [10].
Innovation has changed the business paradigm globally in recent years [11]. Therefore, in the
application of innovation behavior, it takes all the ability to utilize the skills and abilities of members
depends on the quality of the existing network [9]. The application of innovative work behavior can
also encourage an employee to develop his potential and also as a means of self-actualization [10].
Learning is the main determinant for innovation in improving the ability of organizations to
create, acquire and exchange knowledge and change behavior as a reflection of learning and new
insights [12]. Organizational learning is an organization that continuously, and proactively acquires,

processes and disseminates added value about markets, products, technology, and business processes
[13]. Organizational ability in learning and sharing knowledge has been explored as a source of
innovative employee behavior because knowledge dissemination is the initial stage of ideas [14]. In
addition to the organization, individuals who have the knowledge and are able to manage it well will
have an impact on company performance [15]. Organizational success in building the basis of learning
will have an impact on getting better at learning.
Another factor that can influence innovative work behavior is the perception of organizational
support. Perception of organizational support is an employee's beliefs about the extent to which
organizations care about welfare and value employee contributions [16]. Meeting the material needs of
employees can motivate them to work [17]. A leader and organization that provides support can be
seen as a resource that facilitates the achievement of work goals, stimulates personal development, and
can improve employees' innovative work behavior [18]. Leadership in organizations is the backbone
of organizational development [19]. Strong perceptions of organizations and supervisors in the form of
work freedom, and availability of resources can increase employee innovative behavior [20].
Organizational support theory is assumed based on reciprocal norms, caring for the welfare of
employees' eating will help the company in achieving its goals [21]. Among the many human resource
practices, the perception of organizational support has an impact on positive and innovative work
behavior [22].
Learning organization has a positive impact on improving innovative work behavior,
accompanied by employee engagement [23]. Learning organization does not have a direct influence
on innovative work behavior, but indirectly influences through work engagement [7]. The work
engagement variable also mediates the relationship between perceived organizational support and
innovative work behavior [24]. Innovative behavior involves the emergence of new ideas, it requires
employees to have an attachment to their work [18].
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of learning organization and perceived
organizational support on innovative work behavior mediated by work engagement.

1.1.6. Effect of Learning Organization on Innovative Work Behavior Mediated by Work Engagement
Employees who have a high engagement tend to look for something new and innovative ideas,
and develop to increase organizational effectiveness in learning organization settings [35].
Organizations that always learn in each of their activities will have a good impact on their employees.
That way employees will have an engagement to work on learning outcomes on an ongoing basis so
that new innovative ideas will emerge to support the success and achievement of organizational goals.
Research shows that work engagement fully mediates the relationship of a learning organization to
innovative work behavior [7]. So this can produce the following hypothesis:
H6: Work engagement mediates the relationship of a learning organization on innovative work
behavior.
1.1.7. Effect of Perceived Organizational Support on Innovative Work Behavior Mediated by Work
Engagement
According to the Job Demand-Resources theory, it is expected that adequate employment resources
can reduce work demands, encourage achievement of goals, and stimulate positive reactions such as
work engagement [18]. Eventually, feeling happy about work will trigger a willingness to play, try
new things, lead to the creation of new ideas and new solutions that have been considered [36].
Research conducted by [18] shows that work engagement mediates the relationship between perceived
organizational support for innovative work behavior. So the following hypothesis is generated:

variables that can influence innovative work behavior in addition to learning organization and
perceived organizational support. It is suggested also for companies to be more concerned about the
welfare of employees by fulfilling their rights and giving responsibilities in accordance with the work
performed. Support from superiors to employees in communication can also give more enthusiasm to
work.
