“…Because of such possible negative consequences associated with TKS, employees show reluctance to share their tacit knowledge when they feel that the workplace environment is not secure (Liu et al, 2021). Similarly, TKS implies upgrading other colleagues and helping them equipped with skills, novel ideas and competencies (Liu et al, 2021;Obrenovic et al, 2020). Hence, TKS creates competitors within the team and may thus threaten competitive edge of the knowledge holder (Yin et al, 2020).…”

Purpose Drawing on social exchange theory (SET) and proactive motivation model, this study aims to examine the relationship between workplace dignity and employees’ tacit knowledge sharing (TKS) and assess the mediating role of psychological safety and organizational identification in this relationship. Design/methodology/approach Data are collected in the three waves from 307 first-line supervisors and professionals of high- and medium-high-tech manufacturing organizations of Pakistan. Partial least squares structural equation modelling technique is applied using SmartPLS 4 software to test hypothesized relationships. Findings Results reveal that workplace dignity is directly and positively related to TKS and psychological safety and organizational identification mediate this relationship. Practical implications This study highlights the importance of workplace dignity as a vital determinant of TKS. Findings of this research underscore the need for enactment of humanistic and employee-oriented organizational policies and practices that signal workplace dignity which can result in increased psychological safety and enhanced organizational identification leading towards higher TKS. Originality/value This research proffers novel understanding of the nexus between an embryonic socio-emotional element of workplace context, namely, workplace dignity and TKS. This study not only advances knowledge management literature from dignity perspective but also contributes to SET and proactive motivation model.

“…Psychological safety illustrates an individual's valuations and perceptions of their environment, and their behavioral and attitudinal response (Liu et al, 2021). It determines the position of individuals in an organization and enables them to conduct innovative and difficult tasks (Kahn, 1990).…”

Employees spend a huge time of their lives at work. As a result, friendships are often formed between individuals in the workplace. Workplace friendship is a fundamental value of human nature. Forming friendships in the workplace is vital to increase satisfaction and engagement at work. The present study proposes and tests a theoretical framework to explore the workplace friendship mechanisms and their impact on the innovative behavior of employees in the Omani service sector, and to clarify the mediating role of psychological safety. The data was gathered from the employees of private service sector in Oman. An online questionnaire form was distributed to the participants and 405 valid questionnaires were analyzed by SmartPLS software using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that workplace friendship aspects namely, friendship opportunity and friendship prevalence positively affected innovative behavior. Furthermore, friendship prevalence was positively correlated in relation to psychological safety. However, psychological safety did not have a mediating role between workplace friendship and innovative behavior. The findings are meaningful for the academic research and also give some practical suggestions for managers from a new viewpoint for the evaluation of workplace friendship in the context of the service sector, in order to achieve psychological safety, and to promote the innovative behavior of employees in this sector.

“…Team KS is considered as a linchpin between individual and organizational learning as knowledge exchange needed for service development mainly occurs at team level (Bogenrieder and Nooteboom, 2004). Prior studies have agreed that team KS leads to superior team performance and team creativity (Choi et al , 2010; Liu et al , 2021; Sung and Choi, 2019) and project performance (Hussain et al , 2021; Lee et al , 2021). KS is crucial in auditing sector as audit teams must use diverse knowledge to develop high quality knowledge-based services to clients and to conform with professional standards (Andreeva and Kianto, 2011).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the effects of three-perspective motivations including task interdependence, normative conformity, affective bonding on team knowledge sharing (KS) and the moderating effects of project stage on the proposed model paths. Design/methodology/approach The quantitative method was applied through surveying senior auditors representing 263 audit teams in Vietnam. Findings Findings show that task interdependence has salient effect on team KS. Normative conformity and affective bonding become more important when projects move to later stages where knowledge shared is more tacit and the team involves more social interactions. Research limitations/implications This study puts forth the limitations related to the study scope of financial statement auditing teams that may influence the generalization. Practical implications This study recommends auditing managers to be aware of diverse motivations for team KS and their increasingly important role in specific project stages. Originality/value The novelty of the research is to integrate three knowledge-sharing motivations based on economics, social and psychological perspectives and to affirm the dynamic nature of KS within team projects.
