The statistical population of the research included all the primary school teachers of two districts of Kermanshah in the number of 1150 people, using stratified random sampling method, 291 teachers were selected for the study. Standard questionnaires of shared leadership, strategic decision-making and innovative behavior were used to collect research data. Cronbach's alpha tests and confirmatory factor analysis were used to determine the reliability and validity of the questionnaires. Research data after collection were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation model in Lisrel and SPSS statistical software. The obtained results showed that shared leadership does not have a direct and meaningful effect on innovative behavior(0/48), but shared leadership has a direct and meaningful effect on strategic decision-making(0/73), and strategic decision-making has a direct and meaningful effect on innovative behavior(0/57), and finally, shared leadership has a mediating role in strategic decision-making.

Cronbach's alpha test was also used to measure the reliability of the tools. Based on this, the reliability of each scale was estimated as: 0.70, 0.82 and 0.81 respectively, which shows that the tools have sufficient reliability.
