| description | This study examines knowledge sharing behaviour in a highly innovative company. Particularly, the
effect of key organizational factors, namely culture, trust, reward system, information system and structure on
knowledge sharing is looked into. Team performance is also included as outcome construct to provide greater
insights into the role of knowledge sharing. A quantitative approach via questionnaire-based survey was
administered in a software development company in Malaysia. Data collected was then tested using correlation
and regression analysis. The findings show that all organizational factors under investigation have positive
effect on knowledge sharing and subsequently team performance. Despite being innovative and competitive,
employees are willing to share knowledge mainly due to the culture, structure and information system of the
organization. |
