This study aims to confirm the information sharing behavior using social media scale and to validate every item and make it reliable as an inventory by using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The researcher adapted the measuring instruments for every latent construct from the literature and customized the items to suit this particular study. The study sent the revised questionnaire to 262 respondents in order to gather the pilot study data and able to get 163 filled ones as final data. The set of questionnaires consists of 66 items that assess the 6 constructs. Data is analyzed using SPSS AMOS Version 21.0. The results show that every construct achieved its Bartletts' Test of Sphericity < 0.05 and the measure of sampling adequacy by Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) > 6.0 with the result of Information Sharing Behavior .000 and .871; Intention .000 and .782; Belief Expectancy .000 and .911; Attitude Influence .000 and .925; Readiness For Change .000 and .959; and SelfEfficacy .000 and .902. The entire item of the construct has exceeded the minimum limit of 0.7 reliability of Alpha Cronbach value to achieve the Internal Reliability. The new integrate model has been proposed due to this finding.
Purpose: Social media application such as Blog, Wikipedia, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace, are currently become a useful medium of communication as well as sharing information especially in an organisation. This phenomenon effected not only individual all over the world but also employees in Malaysia organisations. Thus, this study is a work-in-progress that referring to a few theories and journals to identify employee's intrinsic attitude as a predictor that contribute to information sharing behavior using social media with the readiness for change as a mediator factor. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study based on a review of several journal and theories related to individual behavior focusing on intrinsic attitude that has significantly contribute to employees' behavior to adapt with new technologies, which is in this study, social media. Findings: The results shows that intention behavior, belief expectancy and attitude influence are the predictors for employees' intrinsic attitude and readiness for change comes as mediator factor that being predict to have a significant relationship with information sharing behavior using social media among the employee. Implications/Originality/Value: The existence of readiness for change as mediator between employee's intrinsic attitude and information sharing behavior using social media among the employee of Government-Link Company can be taken into consideration for developing a new model of information sharing behavior using social media.
