The study investigates the structural mechanisms between the effectiveness of quality of organizationemployees relationship, intrinsic motivation, creative process engagement, and training effectiveness, as well as their effectiveness on employee scouting. The study was conceived and carried out using the form of Quantitative Analysis. Iraq has identified the survey community; a total of 150 respondents have received from employees of oil and gas companies. Simple and multiple regression analysis was used to analyzing the hypothesis of study. The present study builds on the connectivity parameters of employees at both personal (e.g., intrinsic motivation of creativity, innovative process involvement) and organizational or administrative levels (e.g., the quality of employees' perceived relationship with their organization, perceived training effectiveness) when developing a model that connects the scouting behaviors of employees and their context in a comprehensive measured way. Simple and multiple regression methods were demonstrated between the variables to the examinations of the hypothesis in our study, and by analyzing our data we could support the relationship between the variables and the hypotheses

Linking internal CSR with the positive communicative behaviors of employees: the role of social exchange relationships and employee engagement

“…Scouting behavior involves efforts to help organizations that extend beyond formal job requirements, much such as organizational citizenship behaviors (Organ, 1990) characterized by their self-propelled and voluntary nature. Given that information that facilitates organizational innovation is primarily based on the formal and informal daily communicative behaviors of employees (Lee et al , 2018), the scouting behavior of the latter has strategic values for organizations as it helps organizations become innovative and adaptive to their environment (Al-Maliki and Özari, 2020; Park et al , 2014). Information or knowledge about the products, services, processes or corporate issues selected, generated, and distributed by employees are often of good quality because employees make voluntary efforts to capture, interpret and bring information based on their subjective experiences with their company through formal and informal channels (Lee et al , 2018).…”
