The Role of Innovation Mediation in the Influence of Organizational Wisdom and Organizational Identification on Lecturer Performance: A Study at Muhammadiyah and Aisyiyah Universities in West Kalimantan
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to examine the mediating role of innovation in the relationship between Organizational Wisdom and organizational identification on lecturer performance at Muhammadiyah and ‘Aisyiyah Universities in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. A quantitative survey approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to permanent lecturers. The population consisted of 221 lecturers across three institutions, and 100 respondents were selected using quota sampling to ensure proportional representation. Data were analyzed using statistical regression and mediation analysis techniques. The findings reveal that Organizational Wisdom has a positive and significant effect on innovation and lecturer performance. Organizational identification positively influences lecturer performance but shows a negative effect on innovation. Innovation itself has a positive effect on lecturer performance. However, mediation analysis indicates that innovation does not mediate the relationship between Organizational Wisdom and lecturer performance, nor between organizational identification and lecturer performance. These results suggest that improving lecturer performance requires strengthening organizational policies that directly enhance performance and fostering well-managed organizational identification. Although innovation contributes positively to performance, its mediating role remains limited. This study offers a comprehensive model integrating Organizational Wisdom, organizational identification, and innovation within Islamic-based higher education institutions, providing new insights into performance enhancement strategies in religious-based universities.
