Abstract

Considering knowledge transfer functions as a mediating factor, this study discusses how administrative employees execute innovation in education through absorptive capacity and psychological empowerment. SPSS25 was used to analyse the data. Based on the findings, knowledge transfer mediates the links between two innovation-related concepts: (1) absorptive capacity and innovation capability; and (2) psychological empowerment and innovation capability. The creation of an adapted model of "absorptive capacity," "knowledge transfer," "psychological empowerment," and "innovation" in the field of psychology signifies the contribution of the current body of knowledge related to the education industry.
