  Negative Outcome Expectation as a Barrier for Knowledge Sharing: Conceptualisation and Measurement Development

  Uyan, Umut

  Knowledge sharing has become the critical success factor for effective knowledge management since it bridges the gap between knowledge creation and utilisation. So far, socio-psychological factors have yet to attract the attention of scholars despite numerous barriers impeding the flow of knowledge. The current study is, therefore, designed to develop a self-reporting measurement instrument that uncovers hidden sharing barriers triggered by negative outcome expectations. To test the psychometric properties of the newly designed instrument, a stepwise procedure was applied. The findings indicate that the instrument aimed at developing is a multidimensional construct consisting of 13 items and four dimensions (assumption of being ignored, assumption of not meeting expectations, assumption of being non-sense and assumption of conflict avoidance). The results of this study provide preliminary evidence for the reliability and validity of the 13-item negative outcome expectation scales as a measure of hidden assumptions towards knowledge sharing.

  Uncovering the gap between intention and behaviour towards knowledge sharing: Evidence from a hybrid healthcare institution

  Uyan, Umut; Şanal, Musa

  This study set out to test an integrative model towards knowledge sharing (KS) practices in health institutions, which have recently been referred to as knowledge-intensive organisations. The model assesses the relative contributions of various organisational and relational factors in explaining knowledge sharing intention (KSI), as well as the moderating effects of both socio-cognitive factors and the nature of knowledge to be shared on the relationship between KSI and knowledge sharing behaviour (KSB). The data utilised in the research were obtained from a health institution designed as a public-private partnership through the survey questionnaires. Findings suggest that highly formalised and hierarchical organisational structures negatively affect KSI, whereas constructive communication climate and organisational integration enhance it. The relationship between facilitating tools and technologies, which is the last of the organisational factors examined, and KSI was non-significant. Two out of the three relational factors, trust and affiliation, positively predicted KSI, but no statistically significant relationship was found between normative beliefs and KSI. Finally, the results suggest that the perceived reciprocity eases the translation of the intention towards KS into actual sharing behaviour, whereas the perceived power loss weakens the mentioned relationship.
