Effects of Beliefs Perceived by Members in Self, Leader Relationships and Groups on Innovative Work Behaviors: Path Analysis using Multidimensional Job Characteristics

First, the path analysis result showed that leader-member exchange(LMX) and autonomy didn't have statistically significant effects on task significance(γ = .07, n.s) and innovative work behaviors(γ =.03, n.s), respectively. Second, it was found that self-efficacy(γ = .28, p<.001) had the biggest positive effect on skill variety and it was followed by collective efficacy(γ = .18, p<.001) and LMX(γ = .18, p<.001). This result reveals that it is very important to enhance self-efficacy and collective efficacy for reinforcing task capabilities of small enterprise members. Third, task significance(γ = .20, p<.001) had the biggest positive effect on the improvement in innovative work behaviors and it was followed by task identity(γ = .18, p<.01), feedback (γ = .15, p<.01) and skill variety(γ = .14, p<.05).
