Do Workplace Relationships Affect The Innovative Behaviour Of Nursing Employees? A Social Exchange Perspective, Matthew J. Xerri
Matthew J Xerri
This research examines the impact of two organisational factors on the innovative behaviour of nurses. More specifically, this research applies the dimensions of Social Exchange Theory as a lens to develop an understanding into the mediating effect of perceived organisational support on the relationship between leader-member exchange and the innovative behaviour of nursing employees. This study uses a mixed-methods approach, including a survey in which 104 nurses responded with useable results and semi-structured interviews with twelve nursing unit managers (nursing supervisors). The findings confirm that perceived organisational support mediates the relationship between leader-member exchange and the innovative behaviour of nursing …

Ensuring The Implementation Of Engineering Asset Management: Understanding Organisational Culture, Matthew J. Xerri
Matthew J Xerri
This paper reviews the literature about Engineering Asset Management (EAM), the implementation of organisational change and organisational culture and suggests a process for measuring the organisational culture of asset firms to determine if the current environment is conducive to supporting change to improve overall asset management performance. The information can be used by management to identify what work practices are being promoted and which need to be changed if required.

The development of such practices can be …

Fostering The Innovative Behaviour Of Sme Employees: A Social Capital Perspective, Matthew J. Xerri, Yvonne Brunetto
Matthew J Xerri
Although developing the innovative behaviour of employees is considered to contribute to improving organisational efficiency and effectiveness, very little is known about innovative behaviour within the context of small to medium enterprises (SMEs). Human resource managers who are able to develop the innovative behaviour of employees create an opportunity in which an employee's behaviour can be aligned with organisational goals. This study explores several antecedents contributing to the innovative behaviour of employees. The findings confirm that the organisational factors tested affect both the innovative behaviour of employees and the innovative culture that supports innovative behaviour in the workplace. These findings …

The Innovative Behaviour Of Employees Within A Small To Medium Sized Enterprise: A Social Capital Perspective, Matthew J. Xerri, Yvonne Brunetto, Kate Shacklock
Matthew J Xerri
This research comprises an examination of some organisational factors that affect the transfer of knowledge used to develop the innovative behaviour of employees within a small-to-medium sized enterprise (SME). In particular, this research uses the dimensions of Social Capital Theory as a lens to provide insight into the relationship between tie strength (social networks), experience of trust and culture as well as their impact upon the innovative behaviour of employees. This study proposes a model that outlines and tests the impact of these three organisational factors upon the innovative behaviour of employees within an SME. In order to address the …
