Abstract: The main purposes of this study were to investigate the influence of technological creativity for sports, self-efficacy and knowledge sharing , and to analyze the correlation between technological creativity for sports and knowledge sharing, via the mediating effect of athletes’ self-efficacy. This study selected current athletes, including tennis players, track and field athletes, volleyball players, etc. as the subjects, with a total of 250 athletes. Statistical methods, such as Cronbach’s α, factor analysis, Pearson’s correlation, regression analysis, and path analysis, were used to perform analyses. It was found that on the technological creativity for sports , athletes’ creativity and technological capacity had significant positive influence for self-efficacy. In other words, the improvement in athletes self-efficacy may improve their creativity and level of technological capacity. Therefore, it is necessary for coaches to constantly strengthen athletes’ self-efficacy and provide them with the space for the development of creativity and technological capacity in order to specifically improve their athletic performance.
