نقش مرزگستری در نوآوری سازمانی با میانجی‌گری چابکی سازمانی در دانشکده‌های فنی و مهندسی دانشگاه‌های دولتی شهر تهران

چکیده مقاله :

هدف از انجام پژوهش بررسی نقش مرزگستری در نوآوری سازمانی با میانجی‌گری چابکی سازمانی در دانشکده‌های فنی و مهندسی دانشگاه‌های دولتی شهر تهران بود. روش پژوهش کمی، توصیفی و از نوع مطالعات همبستگی به روش معادلات ساختاری بود. جامعه پژوهش کلیه اعضای هیأت علمی دانشکده‌های فنی و مهندسی دانشگاه‌های دولتی شهر تهران به تعداد 2189 نفر در سال 1402 بود که با استفاده از فرمول کوکران حجم نمونه به تعداد 327 نفر تعیین و با استفاده از روش تصادفی طبقه‌ای (نسبی) نمونه‌گیری انجام شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه محقق‌ساخته مرزگستری اعضای هیأت علمی، پرسشنامه نوآوری سازمانی اعضای هیأت علمی الحاتمی و المالکی (2019) و چابکی سازمانی بریو و همکاران (2002) گردآوری شد. برای تعیین روایی پرسشنامه‌ها از تحلیل عاملی تأییدی و جهت بررسی پایایی ابزارها از ضریب آلفای کرانباخ استفاده شد. تحلیل داده‌ها با آزمون همبستگی پیرسون و تکنیک مدل‏یابی معادلات ساختاری و با نرم‏افزارهای SPSS و LISREL8.80 انجام شد. یافته‌ها نشان داد که مرزگستری بر نوآوری و چابکی سازمانی تأثیر مثبت دارد، چابکی سازمانی نیز اثر معناداری در نوآوری سازمانی دارد. همچنین نقش میانجی چابکی سازمانی در تأثیر مرزگستری بر نوآوری سازمانی تأیید شد. در نتیجه آموزش عالی به‌منظور بقاء خود در محیط رقابتی باید با استفاده از استراتژی مرزگستری و بهبود چابکی سازمانی به نوآوری در فرایندهای آموزش و پژوهش و تولیدات علمی بپردازد.

چکیده انگلیسی :

The purpose of this research was to investigate the role of boundary spanning in the organizational innovation of public universities with the mediation of organizational agility. The research method was quantitative, descriptive, and of the type of correlational studies using the structural equation method. The research population consisted of all faculty members of technical and engineering faculties of Tehran state universities in the number of 2189 people in 2023, which was determined by using Cochran's formula as the sample size of 327 people, and sampling was done using stratified (relative) random sampling. The data was collected using the researcher-made questionnaire of faculty member's boundary spanning, the organizational innovation questionnaire of faculty members Al-Hattami and Al Malki (2019) and the organizational agility of Breu et al. (2002). Cronbach's alpha coefficient and confirmatory factor analysis were used to determine the reliability of the tools. Data analysis was done with Pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling technique with SPSS and LISREL 8.80 software. The findings showed that boundary spanning has a positive effect on organizational innovation and organizational agility, and organizational agility has a significant effect on organizational innovation. Also, the mediating role of organizational agility in the effect of boundary spanning on organizational innovation was confirmed. As a result, in order to survive in a competitive environment, higher education should innovate in the processes of education, research and scientific production by using the strategy of boundary spanning and improving organizational agility.
