Background: Knowledge sharing is a fundamental mechanism for making collaborative flows effective, allowing innovators to acquire new information and stimuli for exploring external ideas and exploiting internal knowledge. Aim of the study: assessing the effect of knowledge sharing on nurse teachers‟ innovative behavior. Design: A descriptive correlational research design. Setting: all secondary Technical Nursing Schools at Elfayoum governorate. Subjects: All the available nurse teachers who are working in the designated setting involved in the study. Tools of data collection: two data collection tools were used namely: Knowledge sharing readiness questionnaire, and Innovative Behavior Inventory. Result: Majority of nurse teachers had low total knowledge sharing level and innovative behavior level. Additionally, there were highly statistically significance correlation between total knowledge sharing score and innovative behavior score among nurse teachers. Conclusion: The level of total readiness to share knowledge and innovative behavior was low score among nurse teachers. Also, there was highly statistically significance correlation between total readiness to share knowledge score and total innovative behavior score. Recommendations: Universities should be able to support their academic staff in research collaboration and sharing knowledge by allowing them create new theories and establishing new research principles, directors of technical nursing schools should accordingly build an organizational and technological environment that creates the conditions for the exchange of tacit knowledge, a future research must be made to improve Knowledge sharing and Innovative behavior among nurse teachers in other nurses‟ institutes.
