Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact mechanism of organizational culture (OC) on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) user’s explicit and tacit knowledge-sharing behavior in the context of enterprise systems usage. Design/methodology/approach – Drawing from social cognitive theory, the authors developed a comprehensive model that integrates OC, computer self-efficacy and employees’ knowledge-sharing behaviors. In total, 343 valid questionnaires were collected from ERP users of 115 firms and structural equation modeling technique was used to test the model. Findings – Empirical results suggest that hierarchical culture that focusses on efficacy and uniformity is positively related with employees’ explicit knowledge sharing; group culture that focusses on trust and belonging is positively related with employees’ tacit knowledge sharing, and their relationship is fully mediated by employees’ computer self-efficacy. In addition, computer self-efficacy also partially mediates the relationship between rational culture and employees’ knowledge sharing. Practical implications – This study provides guidelines for top managers to enhance employees’ computer self-efficacy and facilitate employees’ knowledge-sharing behavior by developing appropriate type of OC. Originality/value – This study unpacks the mediating mechanism between OC and knowledge sharing, and contributes to the academic research of knowledge management in the context of enterprise systems assimilation.

This study aims to examine how hierarchy organizational culture affect the knowledge sharing behavior of teachers in higher education institutions and universities and its mediated link through formal knowledge governance mechanism and knowledge sharing opportunity. A sample of 269 teachers was drawn from university teachers in Pakistan and structural equation modeling is used to test the hypotheses. The results of this study suggest that first, hierarchy organizational culture is positively associated with knowledge sharing behavior of teachers. Second, formal knowledge governance mechanism fully mediated the relationship between hierarchy organizational culture and knowledge sharing behavior. Third, knowledge sharing opportunity fully mediated the relationship between hierarchy organizational culture and knowledge sharing behavior. Finally, the relationship between hierarchy organizational culture and knowledge sharing behavior is sequentially and fully mediated by formal knowledge governance mechanism and knowledge sharing opportunity. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed followed by limitations of the study along with suggestions for future research.

Sharing Behavior

The chapter aims to investigate the influence of information technology, trust, rewards, leadership, and organizational culture on the knowledge sharing behavior of the employees that ultimately drives employee creativity. Drawing from the literature on employee creativity, knowledge sharing, and its influencing variables, this paper proposed a model comprising all such prominent variables and tested it quantitatively. For this purpose, 405 questionnaires were collected at Indore, India, and structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses. The findings show that organizational culture followed by leadership was the prominent factor affecting the knowledge sharing behavior of employees. Information technology, trust, and rewards followed next, respectively. Employee creativity was found to be significantly affected by knowledge sharing behavior. The study augments the research on employee creativity and knowledge sharing.
