“…Structural capital shows the greatest influence on knowledge sharing. This finding is similar to that of Abzari and Teimouri [97], who find that information systems and technologies and organization structure positively affect the sharing of knowledge within organizations. Ismail, et al add that among the many factors that promote knowledge sharing, organization culture shows the most significant influence [98].…”

“…Meanwhile, Zin and Egbu [95] suggest that organizations must promote an open culture to successfully implement knowledge sharing, and De Long and Fahey [96] reveal that the influence of culture on knowledge sharing can reach as high as 80%. Furthermore, Abzari and Teimouri [97] highlight a positive correlation between organizational structure and knowledge sharing, and Ismail, et al [98] identify enterprises culture as the most important factor for improving innovation performance.…”

Knowledge economy era is an era driven by innovation, mainly based on the input of intangible assets which plays decisive roles in the long-term development of enterprises. The product value of enterprises is largely determined by their intellectual capital. Therefore, as pillars of China’s economy, construction enterprises must strengthen their investments in intellectual capital, and to achieve competitiveness in the market, enterprises must share knowledge with the other members of their networks. This study explores the relationship among the intellectual capital, knowledge sharing, and innovation performance of construction enterprises and the mediating effect of knowledge sharing on the relationship between intellectual capital and innovation performance by using data collected from a questionnaire survey. These data are analyzed along with the aforementioned relationships by using SPSS and a structural equation model. The findings indicate that intellectual capital not only has a direct positive influence on the innovation performance of construction enterprises but also positively affects their innovation performance through knowledge sharing. This paper concludes by presenting its limitations and the implications of its findings.

“…Among the myriad factors that facilitate or impede knowledge sharing, prior research has consistently identified organisational culture as one of the most important (Abzari and Teimouri, 2008; Al‐Alawi et al , 2007; Chin‐Loy and Mujtaba, 2007; McDermott and O'Dell, 2001; Román‐Velázquez, 2005). Although there are limited studies on the influence of organisational culture on knowledge sharing (Sackmann and Friesl, 2007) most of these studies superficially describe organisational culture.…”

PurposeThis research aimed at investigating the influence of organisational culture types on tacit knowledge sharing behaviour in Malaysian organisations.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data was collected from 362 participants from seven organisations. Multiple regression was used to assess the research model.FindingsThe research findings indicate that organisational culture types influence tacit knowledge sharing behaviour and that such influences may be positive or negative depending on the culture type.Research limitations/implicationsThe study only investigated seven organisations. A larger sample size may be necessary for a study of this nature. Aside from this the ipsative rating scale was not clearly understood by the respondents resulting in scoring errors by some.Practical implicationsKnowledge is considered the one and only distinct resource and is crucial for an organisation to sustain its competitive advantage. Determining the organisation's culture type will allow managers to implement, among the myriad knowledge sharing activities, the ones that would be more appropriate and relevant to the organisational culture.Originality/valueMost of the knowledge in organisations is in tacit form. There is a dearth of literature on the influence of organisational culture types on tacit knowledge sharing behaviour. Aside from theoretical contributions, the findings of this study have the potential to assist organisations to unlock economic value from knowledge embedded in the minds of its employees.

Abstract-The paper aims to examine the influence of care culture (collaboration, trust, and learning) towards knowledge sharing behavior. A purposive sampling and a structured questionnaire survey were employed in approaching 200 social workers from membership-oriented NGOs (n=100) and service-oriented NGOs (n=100) located in Klang Valley area, Malaysia. A multiple regression and an independent sample t-test were used to test the hypotheses. Findings revealed trust (52.1%) and collaboration (28.5%) significantly predict knowledge sharing. Despite the fact, learning culture does not appear as a predictor variable, this study also discovered service-oriented NGOs have a high level of trust, collaboration, learning, and knowledge sharing as compared to membership-oriented NGOs. The present study contributes to previous literature by providing comparison data of different categories of NGOs.
