Abstract

Purpose

Drawing upon social exchange theory and self-determination theory (SDT), this study investigates the influence of psychological empowerment (PE) on innovative work behavior (IWB) among faculty members in Iraqi institutions of higher education. Additionally, this study aims to explore the role of inclusive leadership (IL) as a mediator between PE and IWB. Academic institutions are vital contributors to economic expansion through their research and the development of highly qualified graduate employees.

Design/methodology/approach

To test the developed hypotheses, a quantitative approach was used with structural equation modeling via partial least squares (PLS-SEM) and bootstrapping estimation. The analysis was conducted using 497 responses.

Findings

The results of this study demonstrate that PE has a positive impact on IWB among faculty members. Furthermore, IL mediates the relationship between PE and IWB.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the significance of IL in encouraging employee participation in organizational change. The findings also suggest that IL plays a crucial mediating role in the relationship between PE and IWB among faculty members in Iraqi institutions of higher education.

期刊介绍： ■Adapting strategic planning to the need for change ■Leadership research ■Responsibility for change implementation and follow-through ■The psychology of change and its effect on the workforce ■TQM - will it work in your organization? Successful organizations respond intelligently to factors which precipitate change. Economic climates, political trends, changes in consumer demands, management policy or structure, employment levels and financial resources - all these elements are constantly at play to ensure that organizations clinging on to static structures will ultimately lose out. But change is a dynamic and alarming thing - this journal addresses how to manage it positively.
