This study aims to identify and analyze the role of servant leadership in moderating the effect of empowerment and knowledge sharing on innovative work behavior.

The method of determining the sample using proportionate random sampling. This study uses the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) analysis technique with SPSS version 25 software. The results show that empowerment has a positive and significant effect on innovative work behavior. Knowledge sharing has a negative and significant effect on innovative work behavior. Servant leadership weakens the influence of empowerment on innovative work behavior. Servant leadership strengthens the influence of knowledge sharing on innovative work behavior. The research implication is this research confirms certain parts of the theoretical concepts used in this study; besides that, there are also some parts of the theory that contradict the results of this study. Companies need to pay attention to the comprehensive implementation of empowerment, knowledge sharing, and servant leadership so that innovative work behavior can be implemented better.
