Eko Chandra, Budhi Cahyono

Abstract


Abstract. This research is a type of explanatory research that aims to examine and explain the relationship between transformational leadership, psychological empowerment, and innovative work behavior variables. The population in this study were all personnel assigned to Spripim Polda Kepri, totaling 34 people. Due to the relatively small population, the sampling technique used was the census technique or saturated sample, where the entire population was used as a research sample. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire with a Likert measurement scale of 1 to 5. Data analysis was carried out using the Structural Equation Modeling method based on Partial Least Square (PLS) to test the relationship between variables. The results of the study indicate that transformational leadership has been proven to have a positive and significant influence on psychological empowerment. In addition, transformational leadership also has a positive and significant influence on innovative work behavior. Furthermore, psychological empowerment was found to have a positive and significant influence on innovative work behavior. These findings indicate that the application of a transformational leadership style that is able to provide inspirational motivation and attention to individual needs can strengthen the self-confidence and competence of personnel. This ultimately encourages an increase in individual abilities in generating and implementing innovative ideas in the work environment.
