“…In contrast, factors such as friendly and intimate relations (Li and Poon, 2009;Ipe, 2003;Maslow, 1968;Alderfer, 1972;Herzberg, 1968;McClelland, 1987;Bock and Kim, 2002;Hendriks, 1999), success at work (Li and Poon, 2009;McClelland, 1987;Herzberg, 1968;Hendriks, 1999), respect (Maslow, 1968), social status (Li and Poon, 2009;Yakhlef et al, 2009;Maslow, 1968), self-management (Yakhlef et al, 2009;Maslow, 1968), learning (Alderfer, 1972;McClelland, 1987), organization's compliance with demands (Maslow, 1968), KS usefulness (Chen and Huang, 2010), trust (Chun and Mei, 2009;Li and Poon, 2009;Cruz et al, 2009), honesty (Cruz et al, 2009), enjoyment of helping others (Chun and Mei, 2009), responsibility (Chun and Mei, 2009;McClelland, 1987;Hendriks, 1999), organizational justice, growth and improvement (Alderfer, 1972;Herzberg, 1968;McClelland, 1987) and religious beliefs have been recognized as effective intrinsic motivational factors on knowledge sharing. Factors such as KS usefulness, trust, honesty and enjoying the process of helping others are related to KS in nature and the motivational theories have not mentioned them.…”

“…Thus, the motivations cause individuals' intention to KS and lead to KSB reliability. Despite the researchers' emphasis on the importance and role of motivation in KS, some researchers such as Li and Poon (2009) have introduced the motivational factors influencing KS, in order to respond to the question that whether the motivations are leading to KSB. Some of the abovementioned researchers have studied the influence of motivational factors on KS functional form (Harder, 2008).…”

“…Given that the decisions made in the work environment are being taken in collaboration with the researchers in most cases, the factor of participation in decision making is not also significant to them. Among the extrinsic motivational factors, the ones such as financial and non-financial rewards (Cruz et al, 2009;Harder, 2008;Cabrera et al, 2006;Ipe, 2003;Maslow, 1968;Alderfer, 1972;Bock and Kim, 2002;Bock et al, 2005), job promotion (Herzberg, 1968;McClelland, 1987;Hendriks, 1999), working independence (Cruz et al, 2009;Harder, 2008;Hendriks, 1999;Herzberg, 1968), challenging work (McClelland, 1987;Herzberg, 1968), management support (Harder, 2008), manager quality (Herzberg, 1968;Hendriks, 1999), recognition (Cruz et al, 2009;Li and Poon, 2009;Herzberg, 1968), and gaining publicity (McClelland, 1987;Weng and Cgen, 2000) are effective on knowledge sharing behavior. Except for the management support, other factors are those introduced in motivational theories.…”

Purpose -Knowledge sharing (KS) of employees has numerous benefits for organizations. Therefore, the aim of this study is to provide a model for KS in research centers (RCs) that can facilitate the employee's knowledge sharing behavior (KSB). Design/methodology/approach -Based on the extensive literature review, a valid instrument was adopted to collect the required data set on KS, KSB and intention to KS, and finally 317 complete questionnaires were collected from Iranian research centers. The structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to assess the measurement model and to test the research hypotheses. Findings -The findings show that intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors and intention to methods of KS play an important role in KSB. In other words, simultaneous supply of motivational factors and KS methods interesting for employees lead to their KSB. The SEM confirmed the research model and showed a good fit of it. Practical implications -The implication emanating from this study is that the employees' KSB in RCs as a significant part depends on simultaneous supplying of motivational factors (especially intrinsic motivational factors) and methods of KS that are interesting for employees. Originality/value -What distinguishes this study from other studies in KS domain could be implied in two subjects. First, the presented model is simple and prepared of the introduced factors, which will lead to KSB. Second, this study was conducted in diverse research fields such as electrical and electronics, telecommunications, materials, chemistry, biotechnology, information technology, management and industrial engineering, computer network security, mechanical and manufacturing. The research model was derived from the collected data of these areas that is unique in this domain.

“…Apart from that substantial amount of studies have investigated the influence of motivation on the intention of knowledge sharing behaviour (Barachini, 2009; Khakpour et al , 2009; Siemsen et al , 2008; Han and Anantatmula, 2007). Therefore, we may propose that motivations influence the individuals’ intention to knowledge sharing behaviour (Li and Poon, 2009). Thus, this research is contributing to this theory by including items on extrinsic factors as the tools to measure motivation in order to test the intention of knowledge sharing behaviour among the non-academic staff of higher learning institutions.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between employee motivation and intention for knowledge sharing behaviour. Inter-generational differences (generations X and Y only) were assumed to moderate in the relationship between intention and knowledge sharing behaviour of non-academic staff of higher learning institutions. This research also aims to test the role of behavioural intention as mediation between motivation and knowledge sharing behaviour. Design/methodology/approach This research tested a conceptual framework derived from widely accepted theories. This study was carried out on non-academic staff working at the different higher learning institutions in Malaysia. Respondents from private and public higher learning institutions in Peninsular Malaysia were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire. This research also applied confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling to examine the proposed hypothesis of this inquiry. Findings Results indicate that non-academic staff knowledge sharing behaviour was significantly mediated by intention between motivation and knowledge sharing behaviour relationship. More specifically, inter-generational differences (generations X and Y) play a significant moderation role between intention and knowledge sharing behaviour. Research limitations/implications The generalizability of this cross-sectional study can be strengthened by adopting a longitudinal approach in the next phase of the study. Practical implications The results of this research highlighted that the higher learning institutions need to institutionalize knowledge sharing behaviour among their non-academic staff (executive and non-executive) by facilitating knowledge sharing-oriented work environment. Originality/value This paper has attempted to furnish a comprehensive understanding of knowledge sharing behaviour among the non-academic staff of higher learning institutions.
