Abstract
This study examines the relationship between knowledge management and innovative behavior in public sector. Since information and communication technology and pandemic covid-19 that have been widely exposed, knowledge management becomes an important issue. Public sector has different challenges and characteristics from the private sector. The main challenge in public sector is productivity because public sectors are often considered not yet focused on addressing various social, economic, and environmental problems. While the characteristic of public sector tends to be complex because public sector has to deal with various stakeholders, sometimes these stakeholders have different interests. Public sector needs to respond those challenges through an effective knowledge management system. Knowledge management can be realized effectively when the enabler and the process of knowledge management run effectively as well. This study uses Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) as the enabler and knowledge creation as the process of knowledge management. Structure model will show that LMX has positive and significant relationship to innovative behavior in public sector, if mediated by the role of knowledge creation. This quantitative research is tested from 110 employees who work in public sector, and the result indicates that LMX has a positive and significant relationship to innovative behavior if mediated by knowledge creation.
