Abstract

Teachers must implement and improve innovative work behavior to maintain educational professional development and school organization. This study aims to analyze the influence of a proactive personality on teachers' innovative work behavior by considering the mediating role of knowledge sharing. The method used in this research was a quantitative survey. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 194 private elementary school teachers and analyzed using a Partial Least Square (PLS) approach, a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique. The result shows that proactive personality and knowledge sharing significantly influence innovative work behavior. A proactive personality also has a significant influence on knowledge sharing. And the important finding of this research is knowledge sharing as a mediator of proactive personality to innovative work behavior. Thus, the study's findings can be used to develop a strategy to increase teachers' innovative behavior in schools by creating teacher knowledge-sharing activities and enhancing their proactive personality traits.
