| description | Innovative behavior is vital for organizations as competition based on innovation can serve as a basis for
sustainable development, especially for multinational companies in the Electrical and Electronic sector in
Malaysia. Grounded by the social cognitive theory, this study utilized a research framework examining ICT usage
as a predictor of innovative behavior with knowledge sharing (knowledge giving and knowledge receiving) as
mediating variables. A total of 309 engineers from multinational companies in the electrical and electronic
manufacturing firms in Malaysia participated in this study. By using partial least squares structural equation
modeling (PLS-SEM) for analysis, the study revealed that ICT usage has a significant relationship with knowledge
receiving. It also found that knowledge receiving played a mediating role in the relationship between ICT usage
and innovative behavior. The findings of this study are useful to both academics and practitioners who wish to
understand the predictors of innovative behavior so that the innovative behavior can be inculcated among
organizational members, and thus, increasing the success of the companies. |
