Cogent Education, v8 n1 Article 1869364 2021
To discover the predictors of teacher innovative work behavior, the authors surveyed 232 EFL teachers. Three instruments, including Urtecht Work Engagement Scale questionnaire, Dimensions of Learning Organization Questionnaire (Marsick & Watkins, 2003), and Innovative Work Behavior questionnaire were employed to examine the predictors of teachers' innovation. The results demonstrated that learning organization not only positively predicted work engagement but also it acted as a significant positive predictor of innovative work behavior. Additionally, analysis of the data provided evidence on work engagement as an antecedent of teachers' innovative work behavior. Finally, work engagement partially mediated the relationship between learning organization and innovative work behavior.
