Keywords:
Entrepreneurial Leadership, Employee Performance, Innovative Work Behavior
Abstract
This study aims to examine the mediating effect of innovative work behavior on the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and employee performance at the Bureau of Leadership Administration, Regional Secretariat of Jambi Province. This research uses a mixed-method approach involving questionnaires and direct observation of respondents. The study involved 114 respondents, and data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). The research variables consist of the exogenous variable (entrepreneurial leadership) and the endogenous variables (innovative work behavior and employee performance). The results show that both direct and indirect relationships have a positive and significant effect. Thus, employee performance improves when the implementation of entrepreneurial leadership is applied directly, and indirectly through innovative work behavior, which acts as a mediator in enhancing employee performance supported by entrepreneurial leadership.
