Digital innovation work behaviour, employee satisfaction, employee agility, performance, Indonesian manufacturingAbstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between digital
innovative behaviour variables and employee performance, the rela-
tionship between job satisfaction variables and employee performance
and analyze the relationship between workforce agility variables and
employee performance. The strategy used in this study is associative.
An associative strategy is a research strategy used to determine the re-
lationship between two or more variables. The research method used
in this study is a quantitative approach. In this study, a purposive sam-
pling technique was used because the sampling was taken with certain
considerations or criteria that must be met. The data collection meth-
od in this study was carried out by distributing online questionnaires
through social media. The respondents in this study were 432 manu-
facturing managers in Indonesia. The scale used to measure is a scale
with an interval of 1 - 5, from strongly disagree to strongly agree.
In measuring respondent answers, filling out the questionnaire was
measured using a Likert scale. The data collection technique in this
study used a questionnaire by providing several written statements
addressed to the respondents and then answered. Structural equation
modelling which is often called Partial Squares Structural Equation
Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS version 3.0. The results of this
study show that innovative supply chain behaviour has a positive and
significant relationship to performance, Job satisfaction has a signif-
icant positive influence on employee performance, and workforce
agility has a significant positive influence on employee performance.
