Resumen
El propósito de esta investigación fue realizar un estudio empírico para analizar el efecto
mediador del compromiso laboral sobre la relación entre el liderazgo emprendedor y el
comportamiento innovador en el trabajo. Adicionalmente, este trabajo evalúa la
moderación del género en esta relación. Se estima un modelo de ecuación estructural
basado en covarianza (CB-SEM) con el método de estimación de máxima verosimilitud
para evaluar el modelo teórico propuesto. Se eligió CB-SEM en lugar del modelo de
ecuaciones estructurales basado en mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS-SEM) ya que este
estudio tiene un enfoque explicativo y confirmatorio basado en la teoría. Este estudio
recopiló 312 encuestas válidas de empleados que trabajan en empresas manufactureras
medianas de Guayaquil y Quito en Ecuador. Del universo de medianas empresas
registradas en la Base de Datos de la Superintendencia de Compañías, Valores y Seguros
del Ecuador (14.432), se seleccionaron las del sector manufacturero (526) que operan en
Guayaquil y Quito por ser las ciudades con mayor concentración de empleos en el
Ecuador. Los hallazgos revelan que el liderazgo emprendedor tiene un efecto positivo
significativo en el comportamiento laboral innovador. Del mismo modo, el estudio
prueba que el compromiso laboral media esa relación y el género la modera. Por lo tanto,
este estudio contribuye con un nuevo modelo que vincula el liderazgo emprendedor con
el comportamiento laboral innovador, considerando el compromiso laboral como
mediador y el género como moderador, lo cual tiene implicaciones teóricas y prácticas.
The purpose of this research was to carry out an empirical study to analyze the mediating effect of work engagement on the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and innovative work behavior in medium-sized companies. Additionally, this work evaluated the moderation role of gender in this relationship. A covariance-based structural equation model (CB-SEM) with the maximum likelihood estimation method was used to evaluate the proposed theoretical model. CB-SEM was chosen instead of structural equation modeling based on partial least squares (PLS-SEM), since this study has an explanatory and confirmatory approach based on theory. The population consisted of 526 medium-sized firms registered in the Database of the Superintendencia de Compañías, Valores y Seguros in Ecuador, taken from a universe of 14,432 mdium-size firms from the manufacturing sector that operate in the cities of Guayaquil and Quito, the cities with the highest concentration of jobs in Ecuador. The random sample consisted of 312 valid surveys from employees that work at medium-sized manufacturing firms from Guayaquil and Quito in Ecuador. The findings revealed that entrepreneurial leadership has a significant and positive effect on innovative work behavior. In the same way, the study proved that work engagement mediates that relationship and that gender moderates it. Therefore, this study contributed with a new structural model linking entrepreneurial leadership with innovative work behavior, considering work engagement as mediator and gender as moderator, which has theoretical and practical implications.
