Abstract

This research aims to examine the impact of person-organization fit on innovative work behavior and the mediating role of psychological empowerment on the impact of person-organization fit on innovative work behavior. The population of the research was all leaders of savings, loans, and consumer cooperatives in Kebumen regency. A total of 70 respondents were determined using a proportionate random sampling technique. This research tests the hypothesis using SmartPLS version 3. The results showed that person-organization fit did not affect innovative work behavior. However, person-organization fit has a positive and significant impact on psychological empowerment. Psychological empowerment also positively and significantly impacts innovative work behavior. In addition, psychological empowerment plays a full mediation role in the impact of person-organization fit on innovative work behavior. Limited respondents and less than optimal questionnaire returns are limitations in this study. So, future research is expected to increase respondents' ability to achieve ideal data and develop other independent variables, such as leadership and perceptions of organizational support.
