Abstract

With the development of digitalization, there is a growing need for the business organizations to work through some innovative practices. However, such organizational practices are primarily linked with the employees behaviour towards innovation which is further linked with the job demand and learning goal orientation. The purpose of this study is to investigate how job demands (JD) affect innovative work behavior (IWB). Additionally, the study will look into how Learning Goal Orientation (LGO) functions as a mediating factor in the relationship between JD and IWB. Data from 225 employees working in production division of Sonatrach petroleum company in Algerian were gathered via a self-administered survey. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyse the data (PLS-SEM). The study's findings revealed no statistically significant difference in the direct link between JD and IWB. It was found that the LGO mediates the link between JD and IWB to some extent. The finding implies that by emphasising learning goals, firms can proactively enhance individuals' innovativeness at work. Future research should also take into account other crucial factors including job security and the work environment's mediating role in learning goal orientation across various industries and geographical regions.
