Abstract Innovation in today’s competitive world and changing environment, is necessary not only for the growth of organization, but also for their survival. IT companies need continuous innovation more than other companies ,because of high speed of change in this area and if not innovative, they immediately exclude from competitive IT industry. The key of innovation is in innovative behavior of staff. There are various factors which have impact on the innovative behavior. This study examines the effect of intuitive problem solving style on the experts’ innovative behavior and the moderator role of knowledge sharing behavior. The statistical society of this research is IT experts of companies which are members of computer trade organization of KhorasanRazavi. Three scales of algebraic problem solving , Mora knowledge sharing behavior and Johnson innovative behavior, a 5-choice Likert range(total 26 question) have been used for measuring the research variables. Cluster sampling was performed and sampling included 290 IT experts of KhorasanRazavi province. Pearson‘s correlation and hierarchical regression style is used for data analysis. This research suggested that intuitive problem solving style to generate idea, promotion and implementation of idea (dimensions of innovative behavior) have a significant and positive impact and also the relationship between intuitive problem solving style and innovative behavior moderates knowledge sharing behavior in three dimensions of generating idea, promoting idea and implementation of idea.
