Sharing Behavior

This study aimed at identifying the relation of organizational climate and its dimensions from the PMCO measuring test for organizational climate (Cardenas & Villamizar, 2008, as cited in Cardenas, Arciniegas y Barrera, 2009) - in knowledge-sharing behavior, which was measured from the psychosocial variables and organizational conditions of knowledge-sharing behavior test (Castañeda y Fernandez, 2007). 100 participants from two types of organizations participated on this study: one of private nature and one public. A correlation of 0.578 between organizational climate and knowledge-sharing behavior was found. When carrying out an analysis of each organization, it was evident that the level of correlation between climate and knowledge-sharing behavior was highly significant in the public organization: There was a reliability level higher to 99%. There was no correlation found between the two variables studied in the private organization -with an r of 0.093 to 95%. As for the dimensions of climate and knowledge-sharing behavior, the results showed that in all public universities (including level of work, which got the lowest relation) these are statistically significant to 99.9%. In the private university only a relation to the personal growth dimension of 95% was found.

Sharing Behavior

This empirical research aims to identify the relationship between organizational climate and knowledge sharing behavior. Also, this study uses knowledge sharing intentions as a mediator between these two variables. The survey was conducted incidentally on 403 minimarket employees in eight districts/cities in West Java. Factor analysis was employed to purify research variables. To evaluate the research model, multiple regression analysis was used. The results of the factor analysis on organizational climate resulted in two factors, fairness and affiliation. Fairness and affiliation constructs have a positive and significant effect on knowledge sharing intention. Knowledge sharing intention also has a positive and significant effect on knowledge sharing behavior.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kepemimpinan dan iklim organisasi terhadap perilaku knowledge sharing. Berdasarkan hasil uji regresi berganda pada 92 karyawan dengan menggunakan Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Form 5x-Short), Organizational Climate Instrument, dan Knowledge Sharing Behavior Questionnaire menunjukkan adanya pengaruh yang signifikan dari kepemimpinan dan iklim organisasi terhadap knowledge sharing. Hasil uji regresi berganda menunjukkan nilai R Squared dengan koefisien determinasi sebesar 0,261 = 26,1% yang berarti pengaruh kepemimpinan dan iklim organisasi terhadap knowledge sharing adalah sebesar 26,1% dan sisanya dipengaruhi oleh variabel lainnya. Jika dilihat lebih rinci menunjukkan bahwa variabel yang paling signifikan sumbangannya (nilai β) terhadap variabel knowledge sharing adalah iklim organisasi, diikuti oleh laissez faire, kepemimpinan tansformasional dan terkecil kepemimpinan transaksional. Hal ini menunjukkan penting untuk memperhatikan iklim organisasi untuk menunjang perilaku knowledge sharing di organisasi. Di samping itu hasil kepemimpinan transformasional menunjukkan koefisien negatif pada variabel laissez faire yang mengindikasikan pemimpin dan manajemen yang pasif terhadap bawahannya akan menurunkan tingkat knowledge sharing dalam organisasi.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that affect the knowledge-sharing intention and knowledge-sharing behavior in a public sector organization. A survey was conducted with 188 knowledge workers of a public-sector organization at the national level in Colombia. In this public organization significant relationships between self-efficacy and knowledge-sharing intention, subjective norms, and knowledge-sharing behavior, and between knowledge-sharing intention and knowledge-sharing behavior were found. There was a direct effect of perceived organizational support on knowledge-sharing behavior and a moderator role of perceived organizational support between the studied variables. The findings clarify how some personal variables and perceived organizational support interact in the explanation of knowledge sharing.

Theoretical Assessment

Universities are probably the places, where knowledge is freely and openly shared among the academicians. Although, the knowledge sharing is hardly presented within the university level these days in reality. Academic institutions, specifically the public universities are now experiencing the ever rising faculty demands for quality expertise and resource sharing. As a consequence, knowledge sharing has become a rising concern in academia. The study has aimed to assess the factors concerned with knowledge sharing among academicians in public universities. The study has reviewed the knowledge-sharing behaviour concept from the academic perspective in terms of written contribution, organizational communications, and communities of practice. Trust based on Social Exchange Theory has also been reviewed along with the association between trusts and knowledge-sharing behaviour. The study has highlighted trust as an essential factor, which makes an organization strive on valuable resources. Knowledge, on the other hand, is deemed as a power and considered as an undeniable aspect. Knowledge-sharing behaviour and humans are the two main constituents of knowledge. The study has presented the theoretical assessment of how the academicians are disposed positively towards the knowledge sharing within an organization. It is essential to assist practitioners to create and promote a knowledge-sharing environment especially within the context of public universities.
