Innovative behavior refers to the deliberate engagement in activities to generate and embrace novel ideas, concepts, or approaches to execute and accomplish tasks effectively. This study aims to investigate the impact of transformational leadership and emotional intelligence on innovative work behavior through knowledge sharing. The research population was employees in several public hospitals in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This quantitative study used survey methodology by sending questionnaires to administrative employees of public hospitals. The samples for this study consisted of 129 administrative employees with a minimum of one year of service at various public hospitals. The investigation employed a Likert scale questionnaire to gather data, which were subsequently analyzed utilizing SEM-PLS in conjunction with SmartPLS 4.0 software. The findings of this study indicate the influence between transformational leadership and emotional intelligence on knowledge sharing (p < 0.05) and innovative work behavior (p < 0.05). In addition, knowledge sharing affects innovative work behavior (p < 0.05). Knowledge sharing mediates the influence of transformational leadership on innovative work behavior (p < 0.05), and knowledge sharing mediates the influence of emotional intelligence on innovative work behavior (p < 0.05).
