The causal model impact Job Hardiness in predicting work engagement, with the mediation of innovative work behaviors

The aim of this study was to examine the causal model impact Job Hardiness in predicting work engagement, with the mediation of innovative work behaviors. This study was conducted descriptive - correlational method by using structural equation modeling. Statistical population study were included all primary school teachers in Khoy city, that among which were selected 306 persons by using random sampling method. Research instruments was including job Hardiness Inventory Moreno-Jiménez, Rodríguez-Muñoz, Hernández and Blanco(2014), innovative work behaviors Inventory Krause (2004) and Schaufeli, Marfitnez, Pinto, Salanova & Bakker (2002). Data obtained were analyzed by using structural equation method and using Spss editing16, and AMOS editing 22 softwares. The results showed innovative work behaviors and job hardiness Variables have Meaningful direct effect and Job hardiness variable have meaningful indirect effect on work engagement. Also the was statistically significant the direct effect Job hardiness on the innovative work behaviors. In addition innovative work behaviors could entered model as a mediator in the relationship between hardiness job and work engagement teachers. Finally, the structural model modified research a good fit had with experimental data the study. The degree of variance explained was of teachers' work engagement by job Hardiness and innovative work behaviors 69% in total. So, the more teachers have more Job Hardiness and innovative working behaviors in their jobs, they will have more job hobby than their work.
