Why do People Share?: A Study of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation to
Share Knowledge in Organisations

Nelly Todorova (University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand),
Annette M. Mills (University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand)

Organisations invest heavily in knowledge management technologies and
initiatives which are entirely dependent on the willingness of employees to
share their knowledge. Educational and reward programs need to be informed
by an understanding of what motivates people to share their knowledge at
work. Prior research based on motivational theories suggests the importance
of intrinsic and extrinsic motivators to encourage voluntary pro-social
behaviours such as knowledge sharing. However, the literature on motivation
in the context of knowledge sharing is still emerging and fragmented. This
article therefore proposes an integrated model that brings together
theoretical insights from motivational research to explain the influence of
key intrinsic and extrinsic motivators on knowledge sharing. The article
reports the results of the assessment of the model based on data collected
across 10 organisations. The discussion of results contributes to the
understanding of motivational factors influencing attitude and intention to
share knowledge and their relative importance.

Introducing a Model of Relationship Between Knowledge Sharing Behavior and
Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Positively Orientated
Organizational Behavior: A Two-Wave Study

Tayebeh Sadegh (Fasa Medical University, Fars, Iran), Reyhaneh Mohammad
Khani (Islamic Azad University, Tehran Science and Research Branch (Fars),
Shiraz, Iran), Fatemeh Modaresi (Fasa Medial University, Fars, Iran)

This study investigates the effects of employees' positively oriented
organizational behavior and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) use
on knowledge sharing behavior after a two-month period. Based on previous
research, it was expected that: (1) organizational citizenship behavior
would be positively related to knowledge sharing behavior; (2)
psychological capital would be positively related to knowledge sharing
behavior; (3) OCB would mediate the relationship between psychological
capital and knowledge sharing behavior; (4) psychological empowerment would
be positively related to knowledge sharing behavior; and (5) OCB would
mediate the relationship between psychological empowerment and knowledge
sharing behavior. Results provided support for the direct effects of OCB,
psychological capital and psychological empowerment on knowledge sharing
behavior. Psychological capital and psychological empowerment were each
indirectly related to knowledge sharing behavior, mediate by OCB. To be
more precise, individuals with higher level of psychological capital and
psychological empowerment were not only more likely to participate in
organizational citizenship behavior but having a higher level of positively
orientated organizational behavior made them to engage more in knowledge
sharing behavior two months later.

Use of Organizational Memory Systems in a Police Organization

Denise de Cuffa (Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianópolis,
Brazil), Rodrigo Kraemer (Federal University of Santa Catarina,
Florianópolis, Brazil), Andrea Valéria Steil (Federal University of Santa
Catarina, Florianópolis, Brazil)

Organizational memory systems (OMS) are means used by organizations to
retain and reuse their knowledge. This study identifies organizational
memory systems and their use for performing daily activities in a
multi-unit police organization. Data was collected through a questionnaire
and observation. Analytical categorization of systems and descriptive
statistics were used as analytical procedures. The results show the most of
OMS store explicit knowledge, but the most accessed store tacit knowledge.
Internal and external systems to organization were identified.
Identification of external systems suggests existence of a thin line
between what organization proposes and formalizes as OMS and systems are
actually used. These results indicate need to carry out future researches
on properties of existing memory systems and those actually used in
organizations.

The Mediation Role of Knowledge Sharing Between Organizational Learning and
Technological Innovation Practice

Zhimin Wang (University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand), Choon Ling Kwek
(Tunku Abdul Rahman University College, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

This article investigates the mediation role of knowledge management
according to the dimensions of knowledge donating and knowledge collecting.
The collected data was based on a total of 157 managers from the
manufacturing industries will be evaluated by applying the PLS-SEM and
fsQCA. The empirical outcomes based on PLS-SEM analysis demonstrate that
organizational learning positively impacts on knowledge donating and
knowledge collecting. This study confirms that both the knowledge donating
and knowledge collecting act as mediators in mediating the positive
relationship between organizational learning and the technological
innovation practice. The fsQCA results indicate that the conditional
support for the proposed antecedent and outcome expectation of the
organizational learning. Moreover, the findings of fsQCA analysis also show
that the complex solutions with three combinations sufficiently explain the
technological innovation practice.

Designing a Knowledge Management System for Social Services Not-For-Profit
Organisations

Peter Massingham (University of Wollongong, Wollongong, Australia), Rada
Massingham (Western Sydney University, Campbelltown, Australia), Alan
Pomering (University of Wollongong, Wollongong, Australia)

This article discusses knowledge management system design for SSNFPOs. The
transfer of best practice knowledge management to SSNFPOs is not easy.
SSNFPOs have different strategies and ways of doing business compared to
‘for-profit' organisations. Sector reforms in disability services, aged
care, and child services in Australia threaten to disrupt social value as
new for-profit rivals enter and pursue economic value. In response, the
case study organisation (CSO) has been working with the research team to
consider how knowledge management might help it become a stronger
organisation and ensure its survival and growth in the reformed sector. The
research was informed by discussions involving the CSO's management and the
research team over an 18 month period. A general framework for designing
knowledge management for SSNFPOs was developed. It involves six theoretical
platforms, along with problems associated with theory and practice, how
knowledge management may address these problems, and measures of impact.

Leadership Styles, Absorptive Capacity and Firm's Innovation

Saad G. Yaseen (Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan), Saib
Al-Janaydab (Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan), Nesrine
Abed Alc (Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan)

The aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between
leadership styles, absorptive capacity and firm's innovation in the
Jordanian Pharmaceutical sector. It is a knowledge-intensive industry and
one where effective leadership has been very substantial. Findings reveal
that transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style
are antecedents to absorptive capacity and a firm's innovation. The results
confirm a significant and direct relationship between both leadership
styles and firm innovation, and indirectly through absorptive capacity.
Overall, the research's findings provide valuable insights for managers to
foster absorptive capacity and innovation of their firms.

A PKM–Based Decision-Making Training Program for Personal Healthcare: An
Action Learning Approach

Yi-Mei Huang (Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand), David J. Pauleen
(David J Pauleen, Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand), Shane Scahill
(Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand), Nazim Taskin (Massey
University, Auckland, New Zealand)

Making effective healthcare decisions is important. Despite the large
volumes of information available, individuals often face limitations
evaluating this information and making effective decisions. This article
reports on the design, implementation and evaluation of a pilot training
program based on action learning principles. The evaluation of the pilot
program provided a clear understanding of what needed to be refined in
terms of program structure, content and delivery. Participants' experience
of the PKM process was also gained. The results of the study are expected
to contribute to knowledge management in three ways: 1) inform current and
future researchers of PKM in individual healthcare decision-making; 2)
provide a PKM training model for individual healthcare decision-making; 3)
demonstrate how action learning can be linked with a training program for
the purposes of collecting research data.
