Purpose Studies have examined the influence of knowledge-sharing factors on attitudes and intentions to share knowledge; thus, there is a need to add to the limited research to examine individuals’ actual knowledge-sharing behaviour (KSB). Drawing upon the social cognitive theory (SCT) and transformational leadership, this study aims to develop a new research model which modifies the standard SCT model and augments it with other theories to examine academics’ KSBs. Design/methodology/approach Questionnaire surveys based on literature and pilot study were conducted with 785 academic staff from four Vietnamese public universities. This study applied structural equation modelling to test the proposed research model and hypotheses. Findings The findings show that environmental factors (subjective norms, trust) and personal factors (knowledge self-efficacy, enjoyment in helping others) had positive impacts on KSB; KSB had a strongly positive effect on innovative behaviour; and transformational leadership positively moderated the effects of subjective norms, trust and knowledge self-efficacy on KSB. Interestingly, psychological ownership of knowledge was found to have insignificant associations with KSB. Practical implications The study findings can be used by university leaders, academic staff and researchers in other similar contexts. Originality/value Until now, to the best of the researchers’ knowledge, no studies have applied SCT as a primary lens, in which transformational leadership positioned in a focal behaviour also affected KSB, to investigate research on KSB in organisations, especially in institutions of higher education.

<p><span lang="EN-US">The changing context of the age and the characteristics of today's generation demand that the role of the teacher be more creative and innovative. A way to answer this need is to cultivate a knowledge sharing behavior in the school environment. There are many factors that can support the establishment of this knowledge sharing behavior, including transformational leadership and self-efficacy. This study aims to determine the effect of transformational leadership and self-efficacy on the knowledge sharing behavior of teachers. The research subjects were 112 teachers who teach in two locations of XYZ Private High School in West Jakarta which have the potential to develop knowledge sharing behavior. The design used in this study was correlational, using surveys to collect the data and then analyze using the PLS-SEM method. The results of this study showed that transformational leadership and self-efficacy affected knowledge sharing behavior positively.</span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: </strong>Perubahan konteks zaman dan karakteristik generasi zaman sekarang menuntut peran guru yang semakin kreatif dan inovatif.

We examined the mediating effects of optimism and self-efficacy in the relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing in a Chinese context. Survey data were collected from 365 participants employed by 80 Chinese firms. The findings indicated that self-efficacy and optimism—2 dimensions of an individual's psychological capital—mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing highlighting the importance of practicing transformational leadership to influence employees' positive psychological capital so that they engage in knowledge collecting and knowledge donating. We discuss theoretical and managerial initiatives in the fields of psychology and organizational behavior, to help managers of firms promote knowledge sharing among employees in their organization.
