Abstract :The major objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between employees\` propensity to share knowledge and their level of innovation readiness in the workplace. The other aim of the study is to determine the mediating role of creative self-efficacy in the relationship between knowledge- sharing behavior and employee innovation behavior. The recycling sector constitutes the study population, and a company that recycles fabric, textile, and garment wastes operating in Düzce constitutes the study sample. Empirical research was conducted to determine how creative self-efficacy affects the relationship between knowledge-sharing behavior and employee innovation behavior. Data on the relationships between knowledge sharing behavior, creative self-efficacy and employees\` innovation behaviors in relation to their subordinates and superiors were collected through a questionnaire. The research data were evaluated using the variance-based structural equation model SMARTPLS program. The findings show that knowledge sharing behavior and creative self-efficacy have a positive relationship with employee innovation behavior and that creative self-efficacy mediates the relationship between employee innovation behavior and knowledge-sharing behavior.
