Pengaruh Entrepreneurial Leadership Terhadap Innovative Work Behavior Dengan Organizational Motivation To Innovate Dan Employee Creativity Sebagai Mediasi
Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh entrepreneurial leadership terhadap innovative work behavior dengan organizational motivation to innovate dan employee creativity sebagai variabel mediasi pada karyawan UMKM di Kabupaten Ponorogo. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis explanatory research. Data primer diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner kepada 112 karyawan UMKM yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan metode Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) dengan bantuan perangkat lunak SmartPLS 4. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa entrepreneurial leadership tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap innovative work behavior. Sebaliknya, entrepreneurial leadership berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap organizational motivation to innovate. Selanjutnya, organizational motivation to innovate terbukti berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap employee creativity serta innovative work behavior. Selain itu, employee creativity juga berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap innovative work behavior. Hasil pengujian pengaruh tidak langsung menunjukkan bahwa organizational motivation to innovate dan employee creativity mampu memediasi hubungan antara entrepreneurial leadership dan innovative work behavior. Temuan penelitian mengindikasikan bahwa peningkatan perilaku kerja inovatif karyawan UMKM tidak dapat dicapai hanya melalui penerapan kepemimpinan kewirausahaan secara langsung, tetapi memerlukan dukungan organisasi yang mendorong inovasi serta pengembangan kreativitas karyawan. Oleh karena itu, pemimpin UMKM perlu membangun lingkungan kerja yang mendukung inovasi melalui penyediaan sumber daya, pemberian penghargaan terhadap ide kreatif, serta penciptaan budaya organisasi yang mendorong kreativitas agar perilaku kerja inovatif karyawan dapat berkembang secara optimal.
