Given that organizations need to manage complex situations, multiple organizational climates can coexist and these climates can jointly influence employee behaviors. However, the mechanisms through which the latter relationships operate are poorly understood. We take a multilevel approach to examine the mechanisms that link organizational innovative climate and employee innovative behavior. An innovative workforce is essential for success in the age of digitization, globalization, and rapid changes. An innovative workforce is essential for success in the age of digitization, globalization, and rapid changes. This study analyzed the relationships between individual innovative behavior, organizational climate, and knowledge sharing. This study analyzed the relationships between individual innovative behavior, organizational climate, and knowledge sharing. The researcher adopted a quantitative methodology for quantitative analysis, data collected from the respondents are analyzed using widely recognized statistical tools, namely the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 29 The study utilizes a random sample of 140 participants among managers and employees of UAE organizations located in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Pilot study was conducted before the final data collection process. The data collection included an original instrument developed by the researcher based on the validated constructs and tools. Data analysis included factor analysis, regression statistics, reliability, and significance testing. Results revealed that there is a strong positive association between organizational climate and individual innovative behavior. Knowledge sharing has been the mediating variable, and it has positively mediated the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. It implies that organizational climate has a strong positive effect on employees in UAE organizations if they want to improve their innovative behavior. At the same time, they should also encourage knowledge sharing to contribute to the relationship between the two variables. Future research has to focus on analyzing these variables by involving a larger sample and analyzing different settings.
