The Impact of Organizational Support and Employee Attitude to Innovative Work Behavior Mediating Role of Psychologic Empowerment

Abstract

Concerning the human aspect of organizational sustainability, this study aims tocomprehensively examine organizational support (OS), employee attitude (EA),psychological empowerment (PE), and innovative work behavior (IWB). This studyanalyzes the relationship between OS, EA, and IWB in flexible manufacturing systems(FMS) and focuses on PE's role as a mediator between OS and EA. By dividing OS intoperceived supervisor support (PSS) and procedural justice (PJ) and dividing EA into asense of belonging (SB) and sense of awe (SA). A questionnaire was used to survey341 participants from 23 teams employed in 9 large manufacturing enterprises inIndonesia. Eight Hypotheses were examined with Structural Equation Modeling(SEM). Results demonstrated that OS significantly affects EA and IWB, and PEmediates OS and EA through IWB. In this article, we seek to empirically test the entirebelonging dimension of the OS as it relates to EA and IWB. These variables werechosen because they have well-documented pragmatic value for organizations. Theyalso have reliable and valid relationships with various organizational support concepts.Future studies should include more variables for determining OS and EA to providefurther context for organizational sustainability studies, particularly in FMStransitioningindustries.
