Abstract :
Manpower is considered the most valuable asset of an organization and society, so countries have long invested in this valuable workforce and are trying to fertilize it. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between organizational inertia and innovation with respect to the mediating role of job security of social security employees in Zahedan. The research method is a descriptive survey based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population of all employees of the General Department of Social Security Organization of Zahedan is 500 people. Using the Morgan table, the statistical sample size of 217 people was obtained by random sampling method. Data collection tools are Hogg Organizational Inertia Questionnaire (2014), Jimmens et al. Innovation Questionnaire (2011), and Salonova and Shuffle (2002) Job Achievement Questionnaire. Formal and content validity were confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability of the questionnaires was calculated using Cronbach's alpha test as 0.81, 0.85, and 0.87, respectively, which indicates the appropriate reliability of the research tool. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS 20 and Smart PLS software by structural equation modeling. The results showed that the mediating variable of job motivation in the relationship between organizational inertia on innovation is significant.
