| This study aims to analyze the effect of Learning Organization (LO) on Innovative Work Behaviour (IWB) among Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) teachers in vocational colleges across Malaysia, with Organizational Culture (OC) as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach using stratified simple random sampling was employed to analyze data from 331 TVET teachers. The questionnaire instrument was adapted from the Dimensions of Learning Organization Questionnaire, Organizational Culture Inventory, and Innovative Work Behaviour Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics showed high levels of LO (M = 3.91, SD = 0.63), OC (M = 3.94, SD = 0.67), and IWB (M = 3.99, SD = 0.72). Independent sample t-test and ANOVA revealed no significant differences in IWB based on gender [t(329) = -0.565, p = 0.57] and teaching experience [F(3,327) = 0.08, p = 0.92]. Pearson correlation analysis indicated significant positive relationships between LO and IWB (r = 0.58, p < 0.05), OC and IWB (r = 0.52, p < 0.05), and LO and OC (r = 0.57, p < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that LO and OC jointly contributed 58% of the variance in IWB (R_ = 0.58, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis confirmed that OC partially mediated the relationship between LO and IWB, as the total effect (_ = 0.50, p < 0.05) reduced to a direct effect (_ = 0.15, p < 0.001) when OC was included. In conclusion, the findings confirmed that LO has a significant positive influence on the IWB of TVET teachers, both directly and indirectly through OC. The implication of this study can guide policymakers, educational leaders, and vocational institutions to strengthen learning-oriented practices and cultivate a supportive organizational culture. Such efforts are essential for sustaining teacher innovativeness, enhancing learning outcomes, and driving Malaysia_s TVET transformation towards global competitiveness._ |
