THE MEDIATING ROLE OF WORK ENGAGEMENT ON THE INFLUENCE OF LEADER-MEMBER EXCHANGE AND JOB INSECURITY ON INNOVATIVE WORK BEHAVIOR

Abstract

Innovative work behaviour is an important factor for the success of the company in a fairly dynamic business environment.The inability of employees to implement innovative work behaviours makes it difficult for companies to innovate.This study aims to analyse and explain the mediating role of work engagement on the effect of leader-member exchange and job insecurity on innovative work behaviour.The research was conducted at the Prama Sanur Beach Bali Hotel.The population in this study was 208 people.The sample size used was 91 employees, using the purposive sampling method.Data collection was obtained through observation, interviews, and questionnaires.The analysis techniques used were descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis.The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach.The results showed that leader-member exchange had a positive and significant effect on innovative work behavior and work engagement, while job insecurity had a negative and significant effect on innovative work behavior and work engagement.Work engagement partially mediated the effect of leader-member exchange and job insecurity on innovative work behavior.Companies need to pay attention to the comprehensive implementation of leader-member exchange, job insecurity, and work engagement so that the innovative work behavior of employees can be better implemented.
