Based on extensive literatures that have been reviewed, a conceptual framework has been developed to be examined in this research and outline possible course of actions. A quantitative approach was obtained to gather real life data about the effect of knowledge sharing on employee innovation. The quantitative approach aims to find out the relationship between knowledge sharing and employee innovation. Moreover, the same approach was done to determine the relationship between sub independent variables (trust, communication, reward and incentive system, supportive management role, commitment to learning) and sub dependent variables (exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation). Based on data analysis several recommendations on how to have effective knowledge sharing practice has been proposed by the researcher.
