Abstract:

Being innovative has become a necessity for every organization to gain competitiveness. Organizations can be innovative by way of employees who have innovative work behavior. There are various individual and organizational factors that encourage employees to demonstrate these behaviors. In this study, "organizational climate perception" and "knowledge sharing" among these factors are discussed. The relationship between these two factors and innovative work behavior was revealed by examining the related literature and the basis of this study was formed by this relationship network. The aim of study is to examine the relationship between perceived organizational climate and innovative work behavior and to determine whether the employee knowledge sharing mediates this relationship. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the data obtained by survey method were obtained from the employees of development agencies. Firstly, validity and reliability analyses were performed. The hypotheses generated by the relevant literature review were tested with the help of SPSS and AMOS programs. As a result of the findings, it was seen that organizational climate perception had a significant effect on innovative work behavior and employees' knowledge sharing played a partial mediator role in this effect.
