Description
Summary:博士 === 國立中山大學 === 資訊管理學系研究所 === 91 === Competing in the age of knowledge economics, we have faced a whole new regimentation since the traditional production elements become the secondary resources, the knowledge is exactly the primary resources to business. To multiply the knowledge value, business have to advocacy the concept of knowledge sharing as the more knowledge the employees share, the more worth the business have. In this study, we propose a knowledge sharing model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior to study how the IS personnel behave in their respective practices concerning knowledge sharing. Also, through reviewing of knowledge management and knowledge sharing literature, we have identified several antecedents contributing to knowledge sharing behavior and those affecting attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. In validating our research model with SEM, our data supported all the individual causal paths postulated by TPB except the relationship from subjective norm to knowledge sharing intention. The importance of significant antecedents such as expected associations, expected loss, altruism, and task interdependence have impacted on the attitude toward knowledge sharing; the affect-based trust and task interdependence have impacted on the subjective norm, also, the resources fit has impacted on the perceived behavioral control. The result will be useful to both the academic and business in their advocacy of the conduct of knowledge sharing.
