Abstract

Purpose - Knowledge sharing is an important factor influencing organizational development, and research has been conducted on the relationship between leadership and knowledge sharing behavior for a long time. However, some employees suggested that they were reluctant to share their knowledge with colleagues and organizations. Accordingly, this paper proposes that the relationship between leadership and knowledge sharing behavior is only understood by comprehending how leadership can help reduce the employee costs of knowledge sharing. Design/Methodology/Approach - We conducted analysis for employees of the service, manufacturing, and construction industries and public institutions, and 253 samples were used in hypothesis testing. In hypothesis testing, structural equation modeling, direct, and indirect effects were analyzed using AMOS and SPSS. Findings - We confirmed that spiritual leadership promotes knowledge sharing behavior among employees. In addition, as a result of verifying the mediation effect of the perceived cost of knowledge sharing, it was confirmed that spiritual leadership can help reduce perceived employee costs of knowledge sharing, and leads to the knowledge sharing behavior of employees. Research Implications - This study proved the relationship between spiritual leadership and perceived cost in knowledge sharing behavior. It was confirmed that spiritual leadership is important as a factor that helps reduce perceived employee costs and promotes knowledge sharing behavior.
