Knowledge Sharing as a Mediator between Clan Culture, Trust, and Resilience and Innovative Work Behavior in Indonesian Village-owned Enterprises

Background/problem: In contemporary organizational settings in Indonesia, encouraging innovative work behavior is crucial for maintaining a competitive advantage. Understanding the factors that influence such behavior is essential for organizational success in Indonesia, particularly village-owned enterprises. Objective/purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of clan culture and village enterprise manager's resilience on innovative work behavior, while also exploring the mediating role of knowledge sharing in these relationships. Design and Methodology: This research was conducted in various villages in Central Java, Indonesia, focusing on village owned enterprises. Data collection was carried out both through offline distribution and an online system. A total of 228 questionnaires were successfully analyzed. Structural Equation Modeling was used for data analysis. Results: The results support all hypotheses, indicating significant positive relationships between clan culture beta = .23, p = .02), manager's resilience (beta = .15, p = .01), knowledge sharing (beta = .27, p = .00), and innovative work behavior. Clan culture, manager's resilience, and knowledge sharing positively influenced innovative work behavior, with knowledge sharing acting as a significant mediator (indirect effect = .12, p = .01; indirect effect = .04, p = .02). Conclusion and Implications: The findings of this study emphasize the importance of social interactions, adaptive leadership, and collaboration in creating an innovative work environment in government-owned business institutions. Good social interactions and adaptive leadership can foster effective collaboration among team members.
