TI  - THE IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL EMPOWERMENT ON CONTEXTUAL AND ADAPTIVE PERFORMANCE: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF INNOVATIVE WORK BEHAVIOR
AB  - Organizations must continually explore new processes, products, and technologies to survive and thrive through innovation. Organizational empowerment (OE) is a proactive and participative approach through which people within organizations acquire greater control and decision-making opportunities (Peterson & Zimmerman, 2004). Empowered employees would exhibit higher performance due to their more proactive approach to their work (Spreitzer, 1995). Contextual performance (CP) improves the work environment and organizational culture through strengthened social networks. Conceptually different from CP, adaptive performance (AP) is closely linked to innovation and creativity, which are essential to the success and competitive advantage of businesses. Even though organizations now confront more complex threats, little is known about the effectiveness of empowering practices in improving contextual and adaptive performance. Based on Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), which explains human behavior through the interaction between environment and cognitive state, this study aims to explore the effect of OE on CP and AP through innovative work behavior (IWB). The study sample consists of 273 white-collar employees. Research hypotheses were tested with structural equation modeling (SEM) via AMOS 21.0. The findings indicate that OE enhances CP and AP via IWB. Theoretical and practical implications are presented.
