The present study examines a model linking perceived information sharing as a Human Resource Management practice to employee innovative work behavior, using survey data collected from 756 employees of a military organization. Work‐based learning, challenging tasks, and organizational commitment were used as factors that could account for the relationship between information sharing and innovative behavior. Using structural equation modeling, findings indicated that information sharing had a positive relationship with task‐related and interactional dimensions of work‐based learning. Task‐related learning had a positive relationship with innovative behavior through challenging tasks while interactional learning had an indirect, positive relationship to innovative behavior via organizational commitment and challenging tasks. This article contributes to extend knowledge about the role of information sharing and work‐based learning in innovative work behavior. It also breaks new ground by uncovering potential antecedents of innovative behavior in military organizations.
