Membangun Inovasi Organisasi: Antara Kepemimpinan Transformasional dan Proses Manajemen Pengetahuan

“…Hampir semua manajer berurusan dengan slogan "Anda akan menghadapi kematian kecuali jika Anda menjadi inovatif" (Aminbeidokhti et al, 2016). Masalah organisasi saat ini tidak dapat diselesaikan dengan solusi sebelumnya dan kondisi lingkungan menjadi begitu rumit, dinamis dan tidak pasti sehingga organisasi tanpa inovasi tidak dapat menjamin kehidupan jangka panjang mereka (Asbari, Novitasari, et al, 2021;Fikri et al, 2021;Novitasari, Asbari, Putra, et al, 2021;Novitasari, Supiana, Supriatna, et al, 2021;Novitasari, Supriatna, Asbari, et al, 2021b;Silitonga et al, 2021b).

“…The statistical analysis included exploratory factor analysis, an analysis that establishes the smallest number of latent variables (unobservable variables) that underlies a set of observable variables, by identifying similar factors with a causal link, that explain the order and structure of the data (Goretzko et al, 2021;Watkins, 2018); this method should be used when the researcher has no a priori hypothesis about factors or measured variables (Finch & West, 1997). The "psych" library (Revelle, 2020) of the R-project software (R Core Team, 2020) was used, and subsequently the construction of a structural equation model (SEM), including in each factor only variables with Cronbach's alpha and coefficient omega higher than 0.70 and a factor loading higher than 0.5 (Amirrudin et al, 2021;Novitasari et al, 2021). Convergent validity was determined using the average variance extracted (AVE) with values greater than 0.5.…”
