The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between workplace ostracism (WO), workplace incivility (WI), and innovative work behavior (IWB), using job anxiety as a mediating variable. Building on the conservation of resource (COR) theory, this study proposes a theoretical framework. In this framework, workplace ostracism and workplace incivility are theorized to strengthen innovative work behavior, directly and indirectly, through job anxiety. Data were collected from the workers of small and medium sized enterprise (SME) entrepreneurs located in Pakistan. To estimate the proposed relationships in the conceptual model, we used structural equation modeling (SEM) through AMOS-21. The outcomes of this study confirmed that workplace ostracism and workplace incivility had a negative impact on innovative work behavior. It was also confirmed that job anxiety mediates in the relationship between workplace ostracism, workplace incivility, job anxiety, and innovative work behavior. At the end of the study, we thoroughly discussed the conclusions, practical implications, limitations, and future research directions of the study.
本研究旨在以工作焦虑作为中介变量，探讨职场排斥（WO）、职场不文明行为（WI）与创新工作行为（IWB）之间的关系。基于资源保存（COR）理论，本研究提出了一个理论框架。在此框架中，职场排斥和职场不文明行为被理论化为通过工作焦虑直接或间接地强化创新工作行为。数据收集自巴基斯坦中小企业创业者的员工。为了估计概念模型中提出的关系，我们通过AMOS-21使用结构方程模型（SEM）。本研究结果证实，职场排斥和职场不文明行为对创新工作行为有负面影响。研究还证实，工作焦虑在职场排斥、职场不文明行为、工作焦虑和创新工作行为之间的关系中起中介作用。在研究结束时，我们深入讨论了研究的结论、实际意义、局限性和未来研究方向。
