Objective: The innovative behavior of university teachers is crucial for enhancing the overall education and teaching level of universities. This study aims to explore the influencing factors and potential mechanisms of university teachers’ innovative behavior. Methods: The Psychological Empowerment Scale, Innovative Behavior Scale, Organizational Identity Scale, and Knowledge Sharing Scale were administered to 661 Chinese college teachers. SPSS 25.0 was used for analysis, and the Bootstrap method was used to test the significance level of the mediating effect. Results: It is stated that the relationship between psychological empowerment and innovative behavior is influenced by the mediating effects of organizational identity and knowledge sharing, as well as the bidirectional chain mediation effect between organizational identity and knowledge sharing. Conclusion: This finding provides a reference for policymakers and educators in formulating intervention measures targeting the innovative behavior of university teachers.
