The mediating role of knowledge sharing behavior in the relationship between transformational leadership and person-organization fit with innovative work behavior

This study was done with the aim of drawing a scientific mapping of transformational leadership research and the mediating role of knowledge sharing behavior in the relationship between transformational leadership and the fit of the individual and the organization with the innovative work behavior of school teachers in Euclid city. The statistical population of this research is made up teachers of Euclid city, whose number is about 1300 people. In order to select the sample size, a sample of 296 people was selected using the Cochran formula. In order to measure innovative work behavior, knowledge sharing behavior, transformational leadership and person-organization fit, Sudbijo and Pramiswari (2021) questionnaire was used. The reliability of the questionnaire was examined and confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability and its validity by construct and content validity. Research hypotheses were analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique. The results of the research indicated that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on innovative work behavior, knowledge sharing behavior, and individual organizational behavior. Also, knowledge sharing behavior has a positive and significant effect on innovative behavior. The fit of the individual to the organization has a positive and significant effect on knowledge sharing behavior, but not on innovative behavior. Also, knowledge sharing behavior plays a mediating role in the relationship between transformational leadership and the fit of the individual and the organization with innovative work behavior.
