Adaptive Ability, Innovative Work Behavior, Organizational Innovation.Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of Adaptive Ability on Innovative Work Behavior among employees at PERUMDA Tirtanadi Medan. The research applied a quantitative approach using a saturated sampling technique, in which all 54 employees were involved as respondents. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire consisting of indicators of Adaptive Ability and Innovative Work Behavior. Instrument validity was tested using Pearson’s correlation, while reliability was measured using Cronbach’s Alpha to ensure the consistency of the research instrument. The results of the descriptive analysis indicate that both variables show positive perceptions among employees. The mean score of Adaptive Ability is 4.43 with a standard deviation of 0.49, while the mean score of Innovative Work Behavior is 4.35 with a standard deviation of 0.47. These findings indicate that employees generally demonstrate strong adaptability and a high tendency to engage in innovative behavior in their work activities. Further analysis using simple linear regression reveals that Adaptive Ability has a positive and statistically significant effect on Innovative Work Behavior. The regression equation obtained is Y = 1.513 + 0.641X, indicating that every one-point increase in Adaptive Ability will increase Innovative Work Behavior by 0.641 points. The hypothesis testing results show that the tcount value is 6.763, which is greater than the ttable value of 1.675 (df = 52, α = 0.05), with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, meaning the alternative hypothesis is accepted. In addition, the coefficient of determination (R²) value is 0.468, which indicates that 46.8% of the variance in Innovative Work Behavior can be explained by Adaptive Ability, while the remaining 53.2% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study. These findings confirm that improving employees’ adaptive capabilities plays an important role in encouraging innovative work behavior within the organization.
