The effects of knowledge management system quality and self-efficacy on intention to knowledge sharing: The mediate role of attitude

Abstract

Knowledge sharing (KS) has been received increasing attention and view as a strategic tactic and knowledge management system (KMS) can play a value-added role in these activities. However, does KMS quality can enhance the knowledge sharing performance without considering other factors? For this reason, we not only take KMS quality as the given antecedent, but also take KMS self-efficacy and knowledge self-efficacy as precedent. Furthermore, we verify the attitude toward KS to understand its mediate effect in the model. Knowledge sharing is an emergent trend in real business practices. This study is catering to this trend and attempts to build a model capturing the dynamic of team collaboration and its consequences on intention to knowledge sharing. The results from this study expect to shed light on future KM research and offer practical guidelines for practitioners. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
