Abstract :
Objective: Today, organizations are trying to be ambidextrous at the level of the organizational unit or even at the individual level, that is, to balance between exploitation and exploration, and leadership is known as a key factor determining behavioral ambidexterity due to its role in optimizing the resources of the work environment; Therefore, in this research, we investigate the effect of leadership empowerment on ambidextrous employees' behaviors. Also, we examine the importance of intrinsic motivation as a mediating factor and extrinsic motivation as a moderating factor in this research.
Methodology: The current research is considered to be a descriptive-survey type of research in terms of practical purpose and in terms of data collection. The statistical population of this research was all expert employees and their direct supervisors in knowledge-based companies in the field of health in Tehran province, 297 people were selected using the simple random sampling method using the Cochran formula. The collected data were analyzed by structural equation modeling by SPSS and SmartPLS software.
Conclusion: The results of the hypotheses investigation showed that leadership empowerment has a positive and significant effect on the behavioral ambidexterity of employees; Also, the mediating role of intrinsic motivation in the effect of leadership empowerment on employees' behavioral ambidexterity was found to be significant, but the role of extrinsic motivation as a moderating factor in the effect of leadership empowerment on employees' behavioral ambivalence was not confirmed.
