How Innovative Behavior Affects Lecturers’ Task Performance: A Mediation Perspective

Abstract

Objectives: Task performance is an essential determinant of organization life, including profit and non-profit organizations. Lecturers' task performance in universities is vital to realizing the goals, which include creating quality graduates and building competitiveness that promises sustainable progress for all involved stakeholders. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate lecturers' task performance by considering other relevant variables. Accordingly, this study examined Indonesian lecturers' task performance based on innovative behavior, job involvement, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The study also attempted to find relevant models of innovative behavior influencing lecturers' task performance, mediated by job involvement and OCB. Methods: Questionnaires with the Likert scale were used to collect data from 230 lecturers selected using accidental sampling. The data were analyzed using descriptive and correlational techniques and structural equation modeling. Results: Innovative behavior, job involvement, and OCB significantly affected the lecturers' task performance. Besides, job involvement and OCB mediating innovative behavior affected the lecturers' task performance. However, the mediating role of job involvement was more prominent than that of OCB. Novelty: A new model of innovative behavior mediated by job involvement and OCB was developed, affecting lecturers’ task performance. It is hoped that the model can trigger interesting discussions and raise new hope for task performance improvement based on innovative behavior mediating job involvement and OCB.

A Mediation Model of the Effect of Visionary Leadership on Teachers’ Organizational Citizenship Behavior

“…Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) makes a vital contribution to personal and organizational life and as such garners interest from researchers as a topic of research from time to time. In a personal context, OCB determines job performance (Hermanto & Srimulyani, 2022;Suswati, 2022), including contextual performance (Widodo & Yusuf, 2021) and task performance (Bastian & Widodo, 2022;Yang & Chae, 2022). Meanwhile, in an organizational context, OCB positively impacts on organizational performance (Huynh & Nguyen, 2022).…”

The brief introduction to organizational citizenship behaviors and counterproductive work behaviors: a literature review

“…Consequently, understanding why employees engage in OCB is both necessary and insightful. Educators have positive perceptions of organizational citizenship, with behaviors including suggesting improvements for the university, voluntarily assisting new lecturers, and dedicating their personal time to enhance the performance of their students and the university ( Khalid et al, 2021 ; Bastian and Widodo, 2022 ).…”

The effect of workplace spirituality on employees' contextual performance through work effectiveness

“…Hence, researcher and practitioner interest in employee performance has long been high. According to Bastian and Widodo (2022), an organization's ability to perform its workforce is essential. As Tarmidi and Arsjah (2019) have shown, it not only promotes organizational competitiveness but also drives organizational performance (Kamara et al, 2022).…”
