“…Although there is no direct study of the effect of denomination on prosocial behavior, some indirect evidence has been found by researchers. For example, when children were given larger denomination coins, they tended to give away coins which had more economic value overall (Bregman et al., 1984).…”

Based on metaphorical cognitive theory, this research did four experiments to examine whether and how one important feature of money, denomination, could influence prosocial behavior. Study 1 was an experiment with a sample size of 209 undergraduates ( Mage = 18.97) showed that a larger denomination enhanced the probability of participants engaging in prosocial behavior rather than with a smaller denomination. Study 2 collecting data from 269 undergraduates ( Mage = 18.50) further showed that larger denominations condition inspired more prosocial behavior than the control condition; and the small denominations condition produced similar levels of prosocial behavior to the control condition. Study 3 used single factor design with a sample size of 192 undergraduates ( Mage = 20.49) repeated the results of Study 2. Furthermore, Study 3 excluded an important alternative explanation that the value rather than the denomination influenced prosocial behavior. Last, Study 4 applied a factorial design experiment with a sample size of 132 undergraduates ( Mage = 20.92) which demonstrated that generosity mediated the effect of denomination on prosocial behavior; the effect of denomination on prosocial behavior did not depend on money priming methods. Finally, theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

“…The psychology literature suggests a negative relationship between value and sharing [18,[20][21][22]. However this depends upon the sharer losing all or part of the value of the object as a result.…”

“…Within the psychology literature, it has been found that the more valued an item is, the less likely an individual is to share that item [18][19][20][21][22]. Leidner (1999) also contends that individuals will consider the value of the knowledge to themselves when they decide if they will share it.…”

Achieving value from knowledge has been illusive to the organization despite recent attempts to capitalize on it. An individual's willingness to share his or her knowledge is an essential factor in the organization benefiting from the knowledge it collectively possesses. Yet little is understood regarding what knowledge people are willing to share. This paper describes two studies in which a new construct, Perceived Value of Knowledge (PVK), is developed along with its dimensions, and its relationship with intentions to share knowledge is illustrated (both qualitatively and quantitatively). The qualitative study illustrates that it may influence the enablers and the barriers to knowledge sharing. The quantitative study found that the relationship between PVK and intentions to share varies with different targets (i.e., close colleagues, distant colleagues, and to others via broadcast media).
