The Influence of Feedback and Expert Status in Knowledge Sharing Dilemmas

Abstract: Groups and organisations set cooperative goals for their members, yet in reality some team members contribute more than others to these goals. Experts, in particular, face a social dilemma: from the group's perspective they should share their knowledge, whereas individually they are better off not sharing, because acquiring knowledge is costly and they would give up a competitive advantage. Two experiments (N1 = 96, N2 = 192) tested the hypothesis, derived from indirect reciprocity theory, that experts contrib… Show more

“…In this study, the findings indicate a negative relationship between dispositional envy and knowledge sharing. In this context, the findings of this study coincide with the findings of other studies (Galetta et al, 2003: p.9;Marks et al 2008: Moser, 2017;Cyr and Choo, 2010), investigated the knowledge sharing and social value orientation.…”

“…Orientation" model and individuals with dispositional envy were defined as proselfs based on the studies in the literature. Many studies (Galetta et al, 2003: p.9;Marks et al 2008: p.62-63;Balau and Utz, 2017;Moser, 2017;Cyr and Choo, 2010) suggest that proselfs are reluctant to share knowledge. Galetta et al (2003) indicate that proselfs don't share their valuable knowledge with other group members.…”

“…A second important implication is that information sharing and helping behaviour need to be explicitly rewarded by managers as part of their feedback to both the team as well to individual team members. Recent research shows that feedback can play an important role in motivating experts to share their expertise in teams and in particular when sharing it with less experienced team members (Moser, ), which is an important aspect of helping behaviour in teams.…”
