In order for organizations to remain competitive and successful in the contemporary business environment, one of the fundamental prerequisites is innovative behavior of employes. Therefore, research ...analyzing the organizational and personal factors of this behavior is relevant, in which increasing attention is paid to the agility of employees. In general, agility can be described as a person’s ability to adapt quickly and efficiently to normal or new work situations, accept changes and respond appropriately to them. The study aimed to determine the relationship between employees agility, self-efficacy, and innovative behavior in the organization and to evaluate the mediating role of self-efficacy for the relations between agility and innovative behavior. The cross-sectional survey was conducted in the sample of 172 employees. 78% of them were women, the average age of the participants was 33.8 years. Scales measuring employee agility, innovative behavior and self-efficacy were applied in the study. For this study, a Lithuanian employee agility scale consisting of twenty items was prepared. The results were processed using correlational, regression, and mediation analysis. Main results: firstly, more expressed employee agility and self-efficacy predicts their higher involvement in innovative behavior, and secondly, self-efficacy acts as a mediator for the relationship between agility and innovative behavior. The importance of the employee’s personal characteristics – agility and self-efficacy – in predicting innovative behavior was confirmed, and the role of self-efficacy as a mediator for the relationship between agility and innovative behavior was revealed. Theoretical and practical implications of the study results are discussed.
Straipsnyje analizuojami darbuotojų socializacijos organizacijoje reiškinys, sąsajos su darbiniu ir pilietišku elgesiu bei tapatumu organizacijai ir tapatumo vaidmuo socializacijos ir elgesio darbe ...ryšiams. Šios srities tyrimų nėra daug, o kaip teigia Cooper-Thomas ir Anderson (2006), darbinis ir pilietiškas elgesys bei socialinis sutelktumas yra socializacijos indikatoriai, padedantys įvertinti socializacijos veiksmingumą ir rengti pagrįstas socializacijos priemonių sistemas. Tyrime dalyvavo 129 nevadovaujamas pareigas einantys privačių organizacijų darbuotojai (54,3 % dirba iki vienerių metų, 45,7 % – ilgiau nei metus). Tyrimo metodas – anketinė apklausa. Rezultatai: darbinį elgesį prognozuoja veiklos dimensija, pilietišką – profesinės kalbos išmokimas, politikos bei organizacijos tikslų ir vertybių perėmimas, tapatumą organizacijai – tikslų ir vertybių bei ateities ir karjeros perspektyvų rodikliai. Kai tapatumas organizacijai aukštas, ilgiau nei metus dirbančių darbuotojų darbinį elgesį stiprina tikslų ir vertybių, politikos bei ateities perpektyvų, o pilietišką elgesį – veiklos rodiklis.
