The Role of Personal, Organizational, and Technological Factors in Predicting Teachers’ Beliefs about Knowledge Sharing
Abstract:   (4009 Views)

To explore the role of personal, organizational, and technological factors in predicting teachers’ beliefs about knowledge sharing, a sample of 173 Rashtkhaaree teachers was randomly selected from among the 317 teachers working in this city. The instrument used is the Raajaa & Chenamani Questionnaire. Results show a high inclination towards knowledge sharing; however, actual knowledge sharing behavior is dampened by the beliefs both directly and indirectly. Furthermore, the results indicate that perceived loss of power, joy of helping others, gaining fame, innovation, and technology affect knowledge sharing behavior directly through the norm-based beliefs while the three factors of perceived benefits, innovation, and technology do so through the control-based beliefs. Organizational motivations as perceived by the respondents affect their inclination towards knowledge sharing.

Keywords: knowledge management, knowledge sharing, organizational atmosphere, technology, teachers
