Abstract

This paper aims to explore the relationship between knowledge sharing, rewards, and charismatic leadership with innovative work behavior among university lecturers in Malaysia. This paper discusses the importance of innovation and innovative work behavior in organizations, particularly in the context of higher education institutions. It highlights the role of academics in generating new knowledge and the need to examine the impact of innovative work behavior on academics. This study proposed quantitative research that involves public university lecturers as respondents and implementing purposive sampling. Later, this study also proposes to analyze the data using Smart Partial Least Squares (SmartPLS) to test the hypothesis development. According to the discussions, universities play an important role in encouraging innovative performance, and knowledge sharing among academicians promotes collective learning and stimulates innovation. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the urgency of conducting a study on the influence of innovative work behavior on academics and the importance of developing a structured framework to enhance innovative work behavior among university lecturers.
