Antecedents of Knowledge Sharing Behaviour

Purpose Knowledge Sharing Behaviour (KSB) is the most important
part of knowledge management, which has an influence in an
organisation. Knowledge is a critical organisational resource that will
provide a sustainable competitive advantage in a dynamic and
competitive economy so that knowledge sharing behaviour between
individuals has become one of the most important elements of
effective knowledge processes. The main focus in this study is to
examine and analyse antecedents of knowledge sharing behaviour.
Methods This study uses a cross-sectional design which is used to
collect the data used which is then carried out by mediation analysis.
Structural Equation Modelling is used to test the mediation effect
based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). Findings The
results show a positive and significant relationship between attitudes,
subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and behavioural
intentions. So, there is the impact of full mediation of behavioural
intentions between attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural
control and knowledge sharing behaviour. It can be concluded that this
states that behavioural intentions can fully process planned behaviour
predictions. Research limitations / implications The sample size is
limited, in marine, shipping and other maritime industry companies in
Java. This study limited supervisor behavioural preferences. This study
is a one-time cross-section focusing on a one-off perception. Practical
implications The supervisor at the Company in the field of sea
transportation has a heavy duty responsibility in carrying the trust that
has been given and synergises well between the employees below and
the manager.
