Özet:

 Innovation has been an important competitive tool for businesses to survive. Studies demonstrated that in order to be successful in implementing innovation activities, organizations should promote innovative work behaviors of their employees. The effect of this behavior on general innovation performance of organizations prompted scholars to investigate the factors that trigger innovative behavior. However, the effect of person-job fit, which is a component of person-environment fit phenomenon, and work engagement still needs to be examined, because several studies revealed that both person-job fit and work engagement are among the predictors of positive workplace attitudes and behaviors such as commitment, high performance and knowledge sharing. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to highlight the effect of person-job fit on innovative work behavior and the moderated mediating role of work engagement and knowledge sharing intention on this relationship. In this study, quantitative methods were preferred. Data were gathered via face-to-face questionnaire from 811 blue-collar employees working in several manufacturing organizations located in Düzce. Firstly, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, secondly multicollinearity and common method variance tests were performed. Then, hypotheses of the study were analyzed via structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression technique. Findings of the hypothesis testing demonstrated that person-job fit has a positive effect on innovative work behavior and work engagement partially mediates the relationship between person-job fit and innovative work behaviors. Results also revealed that knowledge sharing intentions of employees has a moderator role on the association between work engagement and innovative work behavior. At the end of the paper, limitations of the study, recommendations for researchers and practical implications were presented.

 Yenilik, işletmelerin hayatta kalabilmeleri için en önemli rekabet aracı olagelmiştir. Literatür incelendiğinde, örgütlerin yenilik faaliyetlerinde başarılı olabilmeleri için çalışanlarının yenilikçi iş davranışlarını teşvik etmeleri gerektiği birçok bilimsel çalışma ile ortaya konmuş olduğu görülmektedir. Bahse konu davranışın işletmelerin genel yenilik performansını etkilemesi, yenilikçi iş davranışını tetikleyen faktörler hakkında birçok araştırma yürütülmesine sebep olsa da kişi-çevre uyumu fenomeninin bileşenlerinden biri olan kişi-iş uyumu ve işe adanmışlığın bu davranış üzerindeki etkileri konusunun irdelenmesine hala ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Zira kişi-iş uyumu ve işe adanmışlık kavramlarının bağlılık, yüksek performans ve bilgi paylaşma gibi birçok farklı olumlu iş yeri tutum ve davranışının öncülü olduğu birçok çalışma tarafından gösterilmiştir. Bu hususlardan hareketle, bu araştırmanın amacı kişi-iş uyumunun yenilikçi iş davranışı üzerindeki etkisini ve işe adanmışlık ile bilgi paylaşma niyetinin bu ilişkideki aracılık rolünü ele almaktır. Çalışmada nicel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri Düzcede faaliyet gösteren çeşitli sektörlerdeki üretim işletmelerinde çalışan mavi yakalı 811 çalışandan yüz yüze anket yoluyla toplanmıştır. İlk aşamada veriler keşifsel ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizlerine tabi tutulmuştur. İkinci aşamada çoklu eşdoğrusallık ve ortak yöntem varyansı sorunlarının olup olmadığı kontrol edilmiştir. Ardından, değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri belirten hipotezler yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ve hiyerarşik regresyon tekniği ile test edilmiştir. Analiz neticesinde elde edilen ilk bulguya göre, kişi-iş uyumunun yenilikçi iş davranışı üzerinde olumlu ve anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmaktadır. İkinci bulgu, işe adanmışlığın kişi-iş uyumunun yenilikçi iş davranışı üzerindeki etkisinde kısmi aracılık rolünün olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Son olarak, araştırma sonuçları çalışanların bilgi paylaşma niyetinin, işe adanmışlık ile yenilikçi iş davranışı ilişkisi üzerinde düzenleyici etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışma sonunda araştırmanın sınırlılıklarına yer verilmiş, araştırmacılara ve uygulayıcılara yol gösterici önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
