| description | The main objectives of this research are to (i)
explore the relationship between types of knowledge and
academics’ knowledge sharing behaviour, (ii) examine the
relationship between knowledge sharing behaviour and its
predictors based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, and
(iii) identify the factors motivating and hindering academics’
knowledge sharing behaviour. Adopting Ajzen’s Amended
Theory of Planned Behaviour, this research used the
quantitative research approach employing an online survey
using questionnaire to collect data from academics in ten
public universities. Data were analyzed using SPSS and
PLS-SEM. The analysis process involved assessment of the
measurement model to evaluate the items reliability and
validity, and assessment of the structural model to evaluate
its validity, path coefficients, and test the hypotheses. The
results revealed a high level of knowledge sharing practice.
Furthermore, the results showed that academics’ knowledge
sharing behaviour is significantly influenced by explicit
knowledge, tacit knowledge, and intention. Intention itself is
significantly influenced by attitude, subjective norms, selfefficacy,
but not influenced by controllability. Also, attitude
is significantly and positively influenced by trust and
reputation as motivators of knowledge sharing behaviour.
Whereas, controllability is significantly and negatively
influenced by lack of time and poor communication as
barriers of knowledge sharing behaviour.
