Abstract: Objective - Even though it has high historical, cultural, and economic values, Sambas weaving has in fact begun to decline. This can be seen from the reduced number of weavers and the less absorption of products in the market. Increasing the variety of weaving motifs and product diversification are some strategies to overcome the problems. Increasing the variety of patterns and diversifying products require the ability to innovate from weaving craftsmen. Sharing knowledge is a driver of increased innovation ability. Weavers' self-efficacy is needed to encourage their innovative behavior. This research aims to analyze the effect of knowledge sharing and self-efficacy on weavers' innovative behavior. Methodology/Technique - The research questions that must be answered in this research were 1). Does knowledge sharing affect the weavers' innovative behavior?; 2). Does self-efficacy affect the weavers' innovative behavior? The data were collected by distributing self-report questionnaires to 50 weaving crafters. Finding - The data were also supported by a secondary source taken from the literature study. Measurement variables were developed from the theory and results of previous studies. The data, then, were analyzed by using multiple linear regression with SPSS software. This research suggested that there is no significant influence of knowledge-sharing behavior on innovative behavior of weavers. There is a positive and significant influence of self-efficacy on innovative behavior of weavers. Type of Paper - Empirical
