Unravelling the nexus between creative self-efficacy, humble leadership, innovative work behaviour and job performance amongst physicians in public hospitals

Abstract

PurposeThe study aims to examine the relationship between innovative work behaviour (IWB) and JP amongst physicians in Iraq public hospitals. The study also determines the effects of creative self-efficacy (CSE) and humble leadership (HL) on IWB. Besides, the study investigates the mediating role of IWB on the relationship between CSE and JP as well as between HL and JP.Design/methodology/approachA total of 332 respondents participated in the survey, although 173 responses were utilised after data screening. The study employs the structural equation modelling via partial least squares (PLS-SEM) to ascertain the relationship between the variables.FindingsEvidence from the study indicates that IWB has a positive relationship with JP, whilst CSE and HL are significant determinants of IWB amongst physicians in Iraq public hospitals. The study provides evidence that IWB plays a positive mediating role in the relationship between CSE and JP as well as between HL and JP amongst physicians in Iraq public hospitals.Originality/valueThe study implies that the JP of physicians in Iraq public hospitals can be enhanced by IWB, whilst the latter can be improved by CSE and HL. The influences of CSE and HL on JP can be boosted by IWB. Hence, efforts to promote IWB should be vigorously pursued by Iraq public hospitals to foster the physicians' JP.

The relationship between emotional intelligence, transformational leadership, and performance: a test of the mediating role of job satisfaction

“…Moreover, the PLS-SEM is appropriate for exploratory research or a research that extends an existing structural theory. Also, the relationships examined in our study are still in the early stages of theoretical development, which opens the door to the exploration of novel ideas in future research (Al Wali et al. , 2022a).…”

“…Another justification for using the survey method is that the method is flexible since it can be administered in various modes such as face-to-face, email, online, telephone, etc. The survey method is also dependable because its' anonymity allows the respondents to provide valid, honest, as well as unambiguous responses (Al Wali et al. , 2022a).…”

Prior to conducting the survey, two medical professionals working in public hospitals in Iraq and two academic professionals working in universities reviewed the questionnaire for wording, content, and question ambiguity issues.…”

Mütevazı Liderliğin Yenilikçi İş Davranışına Etkisinde Psikolojik İyi Oluşun Rolü

“…Ayrıca yine yukarıda vurgulanan argümanlara dayanarak psikolojik iyi oluşun yenilikçi iş davranışı pozitif yönde etkileyeceği beklenmektedir (H3). Dolayısı ile bu durumda mütevazı liderliğin yenilikçi iş davranışına etkisinde psikolojik liderliğin aracı rol oynayacağı (H4) varsayılmıştır ( Wali, Muthuveloo ve Teoh, 2022).…”

Exploration of the mediating role of physicians’ managerial attitude in the relationship between their self-efficacy and workplace performance

“…As affirmed by Al Wali et al. (2022), individuals with greater self-efficacy can display greater innovative behavior, a higher commitment, and work harder or longer to accomplish a task (performance) (Newman et al.…”
