Purpose This study aims to identify the key contributing factors of knowledge management (KM) practices with respect to an employee benefit. The research is designed to gain insight into the KM practices of Indian information technology (IT) firms and evaluate its effects on employee perceived benefit (EPB) and employee satisfaction (ES). Design/methodology/approach This study focuses on the cause and effect relationship between the variables. In this research study, a structured questionnaire is administered and accumulated responses from executives, software developers and knowledge managers from five IT firms with the help of google form. The sample size was 339 for this study. Confirmatory factor analysis and partial least square (PLS)-structural equation modeling have been used to analyze the data with the help of SMART-PLS software. Findings The well-fitted model describes the importance of KM practices with respect to increasing employee benefit and satisfaction. The hypothesized model is empirically investigated and it is also supported by the analysis. The KM practices have significant effects on EPBs. Employee benefits have a significant effect on ES. The result shows that the benefits of KM practices are more intended toward the sources of motivation where they can increase their capability with the help of KM practices. Research limitations/implications Benefit leads to the motivation and satisfaction of employees. The work itself can be a highly motivating dimension with the help of proper KM practices. The managers’ prime responsibility is to focus on collaborative work with regularizing the exchange of knowledge, where new knowledge can be created and, do better for the organization. Originality/value This research study offers a new direction of motivation to work. The employee can be highly motivated if he can be benefited from the work itself. This study gives an approach to satisfy the employee with the help of KM practices. Perceived benefit is considered as an essential element for this study.

“…Mansor et al (2015) argued that a negative atmosphere inhibits individuals’ motives towards knowledge sharing. Many factors prevent students’ impetus to exchange knowledge with their peers (Jarrah and Alkhazaleh, 2020; Javadi et al , 2012; Lam and Lambermont-Ford, 2010; Riege, 2005). One of these factors is the reward (Gagné, 2009).…”

“…This result was in the same vein with Abdul-Jalal et al ’s (2013) and Kathiravelu et al ’s (2013) findings. Furthermore, knowledge sharing can be further encouraged by coordinating classes, seminars and open discussions for students to raise awareness on the importance of knowledge sharing (Ipe, 2003; Jarrah and Alkhazaleh, 2020; Javadi et al , 2012; Islam et al , 2013; Zalk et al , 2011).…”

“…Knowledge management (KM) become an integral part of any progressive institution as it does have a significant impact on developing their competitive advantage, which will positively impact on the overall institution success (Ipe, 2003; Jarrah and Alkhazaleh, 2020; Javadi et al , 2012; Zalk et al , 2011). One of the merits of the academic institutions is to develop their students mental and cognitive skills to appreciate the power of knowledge and how to effectively manage their knowledge accumulation, nonetheless, how they can effectively share the knowledge that they have gained or inherited to contribute to the development of their communities (Ipe, 2003; Jarrah and Alkhazaleh, 2020; Neches et al , 1991; Nonaka et al , 2000; United Nations, 2014).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate how students’ attitude (SA), students’ subjective norms (SN), students’ knowledge sharing intentions (KSI) can contribute to the enhancement of knowledge sharing behaviour (KSB) among students at higher education institutes (HEI) in Oman. Design/methodology/approach This study follows the quantitative methodology and the deductive causal research approach. The data were conveniently collected through a Web-based questionnaire (Google forms) from 285 active students who are affiliated to Omani universities. SPSS was used to statistically analyse the collected data, including partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM V3.3) to draw the results. Findings The study concluded that SA has both direct and indirect positive impact on SN, KSI and KSB. Moreover, the result revealed that there is a mediation effect between SA and KSB through KSI, SA and KSI when SN is playing as a mediation role. Research limitations/implications Although this study contributes to the existing body of knowledge, this study is limited by the scarcity of the related literature in the Omani context. It is recommended that these shortfalls be addressed together while improving the knowledge-sharing behaviour among students and administrative staff. Furthermore, the potential variation between academic staff and students in terms of factors affecting their intentions to share knowledge within HEIs should be explored. Practical implications This research provides policymakers in academic fields with the appropriate approaches to leverage the knowledge-sharing behaviour amongst Omani students with the understanding of the main factors affecting individuals’ knowledge-sharing behaviours. Social implications This will help in improving the means of employing and practising knowledge-sharing strategies within HEIs, which can generate competitive advantages amongst students and institutions while benefiting knowledge management strategies and its members. Originality/value The importance of the study stems from its context being conducted in Oman as a developing country. In addition, this study is one of the initial attempts to investigate KSB by considering SA, SN and KSI and its applicability on HEI in Oman. The findings of the study can serve as inputs to HEI in developing best practices across KSB dimensions and expanding the knowledge-sharing culture amongst HEI’s students in Oman. One of the developed strategies is the spreading of the knowledge-sharing culture among students by positively directing their attitude towards the practices of knowledge exchange.

“…Within the connection of KM and OP, existing research has piqued KWS's interest (Shujahat et al, 2018;Sahibzada et al, 2020). The main aim of this study was to examine the factor that weakens Knowledge sharing behaviour, according to this report, is participants' lack of trust (Jarrah and Alkhazalah 2020). The study would significantly aid in understanding and highlighting the role of KM in Chinese HEIs, given the paucity of research on the topic (Baptista Nunes, Kanwal, et al 2017).…”

Moreover, the study recognizes the levels of Knowledge Sharing between the staff members within the organization. Out of 407 respondents, 300 responses were collected through self-administer a survey. The results provide empirical evidence that OLE and Intention to Sharing knowledge (ISK) are significantly related among academic Staff at HEI. The results of the study may help the institution level of intention in sharing knowledge and attitude toward perceived behavior subjective norms to retain core employees within the organization.
