Teacher's Innovative Behavior in Indonesian School: The Role of Knowledge Management, Creativity and OCB

Abstract

Innovation, especially innovative behavior, has become a vital interest among teachers in Indonesia, as it argues to play a prominent role in increasing work quality and effectiveness, particularly, tasks of teaching. However, empirical evidence assessing innovative behavior is still relatively limited, so it explores the effect of knowledge management (KM) and creativity on innovative behavior mediating by organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). A questionnaire collected the research data through a survey. The participant of this research is 363 teachers selected by accidental sampling. Data analysis uses path analysis supported by descriptive statistics. The results revealed that KM and creativity had a positive and significant effect on innovative behavior, both direct and indirect effects mediating by OCB. Thus, the teacher's innovative behavior can improve through KM, creativity, and OCB. Besides, this research also found a research model about the effect of KM and creativity on innovative behavior mediating by OCB. This evidence can discuss among researchers and practitioners in developing innovative behavior models in the future and various contexts of organizations.

Chinese University EFL Teachers' Perceived Support, Innovation, and Teaching Satisfaction in Online Teaching Environments: The Mediation of Teaching Efficacy

“…This surprising result was inconsistent with previous research, which revealed a positive relationship between teaching resources and teacher innovation in schools in both traditional and online teaching environments (Eteokleous, 2008;Thurlings et al, 2015).

How adversity quotient and interpersonal communication affects teacher organizational citizenship behavior?

“…For example, teachers who have a strong affective commitment will tend to easily actualize their potential This empirical fact indicates that improving AQ, interpersonal communication, and organizational commitment will encourage an increase teachers' OCB so that primary school principals have an interest in making breakthrough efforts and strategic policies to improve teachers' AQ, interpersonal communication and organizational commitment. This is very important because, according to various studies that OCB has been proving to improve innovative behavior, productivity, performance, and organizational effectiveness [1]- [4].…”

“…Several studies recently indicated that OCB affects employees' productivity [1] and performance [2], then implicate to organizational performance [3]. In an educational context, OCB also influences teachers' innovative behavior [4]. It means OCB is essential for teachers, so it needs and urgent to investigates, primarily considering that teachers in Indonesia have not shown extra behavior that can encourage the achievement of optimal quality education.…”
