Knowledge Self-Efficacy, Rewards, and Knowledge Sharing Behavior in Indonesia

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of self-efficacy, knowledge, and rewards on knowledge sharing behavior in Indonesia. Theoretical framework: The theory used in this study consists of independent variables of knowledge self-efficacy, and rewards. While the dependent variable is knowledge sharing behavior. Method: This study uses quantitative research methods. The data collection technique was carried out by distributing questionnaires. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using the Partial Least Square approach. Results and conclusions: The results showed that knowledge self-efficacy has a significant positive influence on knowledge sharing behavior. Expected rewards, which are believed by many to be a driver of individuals to share knowledge, are not proven to be a determinant of knowledge sharing behavior, both in terms of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards. Research implications: This study can contribute to the development of theories on knowledge sharing behavior, regarding how psychological factors such as knowledge self-efficacy and rewards contribute to organizational dynamics. Originality/value: Uncovering important aspects of knowledge sharing behaviour in an industry/organization, especially when viewed from the individual's perspective as an important part that contributes to the achievement of organizational goals.
