Sharing Behavior

Purpose Academic institutions play a crucial role in social and economic development. They share responsibilities to equip students with knowledge and skills. This study aims to examine and investigate the impact of knowledge sharing enablers (KSE) on knowledge sharing behavior (KSB). The paper measured KSE through perceived instructor support of knowledge sharing instructor support (IS), perceived information and communication technology (ICT) support of knowledge sharing and perceived ability to share knowledge (ASK). Design/methodology/approach A survey questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. A sample of 597 students from Al Ain University in UAE participated in the study. The collected data were treated and analyzed through MS Excel and International Business Machines Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The theory of reasoned action (TRA) was used in formulating a conceptual framework. Several statistical techniques, including partial least square structural equation modeling, were used to test and verify hypotheses. Findings Findings of the study supported TRA theory by suggesting a positive and significant impact of KSE (IS, ICT and ASK) on KSB. The findings supported the stated three hypotheses and confirmed that at least 45% of the variation in students’ KSB is explained by a variation in one of the three KSE indicators. The paper provided important theoretical and practical implications for researchers and managers of academic institutions. Originality/value Academic institutions need to advance their strategies to create more collaborative environments for boosting knowledge sharing among students. Such practice will contribute in improving the students’ overall capabilities, skills and success of academic institutions.

Male Leadership

Purpose This study aims to use an authentic leadership style to explore that whether male or female leadership of private academic institutions highly influences affective organizational commitment and tacit knowledge sharing among the library teachers. Additionally, this study encompasses the trust of library teachers and justifies whether the trust under male or female leadership highly moderates the effect on tacit knowledge sharing. Design/methodology/approach By using structural equation modeling, this study tests two leadership models (e.g. male and female leadership models). Using a convenient sampling approach, the researcher collects data from library teachers of private academic institutions in district Sheikhupura, Pakistan through face-to-face interaction. The study administered 650 survey questionnaires among the library teachers; however, 403 questionnaires were answered validly and reliably. The response rate was 62%. Findings The study found the direct and indirect effect of authentic leadership on affective organizational commitment and tacit knowledge sharing however, male authentic leadership influence on affective organizational commitment and tacit knowledge sharing was quite higher than female authentic leadership. Resultantly, the library teachers were more committed to sharing tacit knowledge under male leadership than female. Nevertheless, the moderating role of trust was found in female leadership but not in male leadership. Simply, the library teachers under male leadership were hesitant to trust others, so the chain of sharing hidden ideas and image of libraries was not found in male leadership. Practical implications Private academic institutions need authentic leaders to shape the knowledge economy of libraries and the structure of the academic institutions. For this reason, this study provides practical implications for managers that male leadership should be hired in academic institutions because it has a higher influence on librarians’ commitment and tacit knowledge sharing among peers as compare to female leadership. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this was the first study that differentiates the capabilities and skills of male and female authentic leadership in private academic institutions. Further, it suggests hiring male leaders in these institutions.

The Times

With the outbreak of COVID-19, many offline academic activities have been turned online, and virtual academic communities have been further emphasized. Based on this situation, this study took the Eagly and Chaiken’s Heuristic-System Model of Persuasion and the general rules of behavioral decision as a theoretical basis, established a theoretical model of sustainable knowledge sharing willingness in virtual academic communities. Firstly, this study developed the scale of willingness to share sustainable knowledge based on the heuristic system model of persuasion. After analyzing the data of 62 participants, the scale was revised. Secondly, 256 valid data were collected from China, the United States, Singapore, and Indonesia. Finally, the conceptual model and theoretical hypothesis were tested based on the data. The results show that knowledge sharing satisfaction is affected by heuristic factors (knowledge sharing quantity, knowledge source credibility) and system factors (knowledge sharing quality, knowledge sharing usefulness), and has a significant positive correlation with sustainable knowledge sharing willingness.

Abstrak Evolusi dalam dunia komputer pada akhirnya memasuki tahap dimana komputer telah menjadi modal utama dalam berkompetisi (hidup matinya suatu perusahaan modem). Tetapi sering hal ini tidak disertai dengan pengetahuan dalam mengetahui kerusakan komputer serta cara memperbaikinya. Selama ini, teknisi komputer perusahaan memegang peranan penting guna terciptanya aktivitas bisnis yang baik dalam perusahaan, karena teknisilah yang mengetahui kerusakan komputer dan cara memperbaikinya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengurangi ketergantungan pengguna komputer terhadap teknisi dan meningkatkan kegiatan knowledge sharing dan knowledge transfer melalui perancangan sistem pakar untuk mendiagnosis kerusakan hardware komputer. Dengan menggunakan sistem pakar ini diharapkan keefektifan penggunaan komputer dalam perusahaan dapat ditingkatkan. Dengan menggunakan model sistem pakar yang dikembangkan oleh Suryadi & Nuzal (1998) yang mempunyai keunggulan pada fasilitas Adaptive System, model ini kemudian dikembangkan dengan menambahkan atribut Forum Pengetahuan yang dapat memfasilitasi kegiatan knowldge sharing dan knowledge tnnsfen Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah sebuah sistem pakar yang memberikan fasilitas pendokumentasian pengetahuan dan terbukti dapat meningkatkan kegiatan knowledge sharing dan knowledge tansfer pada PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia, Tbk. R&D Center dan Universitas X.   Kata kunci: Sistem pakar, knowledge sharing, knowldge transfer.
