Relationship between learning agility and innovative work behavior among undergraduate student of University of Indonesia

Background: Previous research has shown that university graduates in Indonesia face significant skill gap and behind from any country, spesifically among ASEAN countries, in term of innovation ability. Innovative ability can be developed for university students with the right variables. Thus, it might help student to focus on their self-development. Method: Quantitative and correlational research conducted to know how learning agility might related to innovative work behavior. Innovative Work Behavioral Scale developed by Janssen (2000) and Learning Agility Assessment Scale, developed and published by Gravett and Caldwell (2016), were used in study. Both scales were adapted and translated so they would fit with the undergraduates’ context. Result: In result, 539 of minimum Second year/3rd semester University Indonesia students were chosen. The statistics analysis technique used for hypothesis testing was Pearson’s Correlation. The result showed that learning agility is positively correlated with the innovative work behavior, r(537) = 0,61, p < 0,001. Conclusion: After this study, the result might be used as one of the references for university to develop program where student could develop their learning agility and become more innovative. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study reveals a significant relationship between learning agility and innovative work behaviour among Indonesian students, providing new insights into developing innovation capabilities at the higher education level. The findings offer an empirical basis for universities to design programs that enhance graduate competitiveness in the ASEAN context.

背景：既往研究表明，印度尼西亚的大学毕业生存在显著的技能差距，且在创新能力方面落后于其他国家，尤其是在东盟国家中。通过恰当的变量干预，大学生的创新能力可得到培养，进而助力其专注于自我发展。

方法：本研究采用定量相关研究方法，旨在探究学习敏捷性（Learning Agility）与创新工作行为（Innovative Work Behavior）之间的关联。研究使用了Janssen（2000）开发的创新工作行为量表（Innovative Work Behavioral Scale），以及Gravett和Caldwell（2016）开发并发表的学习敏捷性评估量表（Learning Agility Assessment Scale）。两种量表均经过改编与翻译，以适配本科生的研究情境。

结果：研究选取了539名印度尼西亚大学中至少为大二（第三学期）的学生作为研究对象。假设检验采用皮尔逊相关（Pearson’s Correlation）统计分析技术，结果显示学习敏捷性与创新工作行为呈正相关，r(537)=0.61，p<0.001。

结论：本研究结果可为大学制定相关项目提供参考，助力学生提升学习敏捷性并增强创新能力。本研究的创新性：本研究揭示了印度尼西亚学生的学习敏捷性与创新工作行为之间的显著关联，为高等教育阶段创新能力的培养提供了新的见解。研究结果为大学设计提升毕业生在东盟背景下竞争力的项目提供了实证依据。
