Innovative Work Behaviour in Higher Education Institutions: The Role of Learning at the Individual Level

Educational institutions can sustain academic offerings with profound quality standards by implementing reform policies and activities involving continuous learning and progressive inquiry and dialogue. In addition, higher education institutions have to strongly emphasize reaffirming the foundations of an atmosphere that is learner-oriented, pleasant, and instructional. Because of the commitment to quality assurance, it has become possible to identify strengths and potential while simultaneously monitoring areas of weakness. A significant increase in the innovative work behaviour of higher education institutions has the potential to considerably benefit in eliminating the socio-economic disparities that exist in the present, particularly in the established country. Even though it is steadily getting attention in the context of higher education institutions, the learning organization aspects can increase inventive capacity. This is commonly viewed as essential and looked forward in commercial organizations. This study report aims to improve the position of higher education institutions as learning organizations that contribute to the closing of knowledge gaps worldwide and strengthen the global economy’s revolutionary demands. The data for this empirical work came from an online survey conducted with academics ranked by professors from public higher education institutions in Malaysia. The SmartPLS allows for generating a structural model that draws inferences on the bonding between learning organization aspects and innovative work behaviour. Additionally, the model provides implications for research and practice in the academic discipline.
