Abstract
The transformation of Public Institutions of Higher Education (PIHE) in Malaysia to become competitive at the international level brings up the need to improve the organizational performance level among the academicians. This comes together with the development and implementation of organizational innovativeness in the education industry. This article firstly assessed the level of organizational performance and organizational innovativeness among the academicians in Malaysian PIHEs. Secondly, organizational innovativeness is assessed whether it may have any influence on organizational performance using correlation and multiple regression analyses. Using samples of 88 academicians taken from various public universities in Peninsular Malaysia, the level assessment found that both variables are moderate. The highest correlation was found between organizational innovativeness with development target and characteristics. The highest Beta value in multiple regressions was also found between organizational innovativeness with development target and characteristics followed by curriculum planning, and reputation. Implications and further research suggestions are discussed in this paper.
