Organizational Innovativeness Climate (OIC) and Motivation to Learn (MTL) are identified as the main factors that drive innovation. Knowledge Sharing (KS) acts as a mediating variable in the relationship between the two factors and the innovative behaviour of lecturers.This study uses a quantitative method with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. Data collection techniques through questionnaire surveys with Proportional Stratified Random Sampling techniques. The results show that OIC and MTL have a significant influence on IWB and KS. KS is proven to be a mediating variable on the influence of MTL on IWB. However, Knowledge Sharing does not mediate the influence of OIC on IWB.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of transformational leadership on innovative work behavior in higher education institutions, examining the mediating roles of knowledge sharing and motivation to learn. Data were collected from 150 full-time lecturers in public and private universities in Padang, Indonesia. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The findings reveal that transformational leadership positively influences innovative work behavior directly and indirectly through knowledge sharing, confirming a partial mediation effect. However, motivation to learn does not significantly mediate this relationship, indicating its intrinsically driven nature. The study confirms the importance of leadership style and collaborative culture in fostering innovation among academic staff. Theoretically, the research enriches the understanding of psychological and social mechanisms linking leadership to innovation, particularly in the unique context of higher education. Practically, it offers insights for university leaders to cultivate a supportive environment that encourages knowledge sharing and intrinsic learning motivation, which are essential for sustaining innovation in academic settings.
