Abstract

Human resources are the main driving force in organizations, including in the government sector. In this context, employee performance is the key to achieving organizational goals. This study aims to analyze the influence of competence and knowledge sharing behavior on innovative work behavior, including factors that affect the performance of employees of the Semarang City Education Office. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey design. Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to employees of the Semarang City Education Office with a total of 125 respondents. The data analysis technique used was multiple regression analysis to test the direct influence of independent variables on dependent variables. The results of the analysis showed that employee competence had a significant effect on innovative behavior (β = 0.648; p < 0.01) and knowledge sharing behavior (β = 0.830; p < 0.01). Knowledge sharing behavior also had a positive effect on innovative behavior (β = 0.255; p < 0.05). This model explains 70.2% of the variance of innovative work behaviors. These findings underscore the importance of improving competence and a culture of knowledge sharing in encouraging innovation in the work environment.
