Abstract: Both structured and spontaneous knowledge sharing is a key element for the success of an organization, including schools, in improving performance and competitive advantage. However, individuals are often reluctant to share knowledge because they consider it a valuable personal asset. This study aims to examine the relationship between servant leadership and knowledge-sharing behavior, moderated by Islamic work ethics and mediated by organizational citizenship behavior. The research subjects consisted of 205 high school teachers in Yogyakarta. Data was collected using four scales: the Knowledge Sharing Behavior Scale, the Servant Leadership Scale, the Islamic Work Ethic Scale, and the Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale. The data analysis technique used was the Moderated Mediation Process Model number 8 from Hayes, with the help of JASP (Jeffrey's Amazing Statistics Program) version 0.19. The results showed that servant leadership effectively moderates knowledge-sharing behavior, especially in the context of strong work ethic values, such as Islamic work ethics. However, although servant leadership has the potential to encourage collaborative behavior, its influence on organizational citizenship behavior and its role in moderating the relationship to knowledge-sharing behavior is proven to be still limited. This study provides a significant contribution to understanding the dynamics of knowledge-sharing behavior in an educational environment based on ethical values.
