Knowledge sharing and theory of planned behavior: a bibliometric analysis

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to review the role of knowledge-sharing and its association with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). TPB is the most used theory in understanding knowledge-sharing behavior in many contexts. Design/methodology/approach Based on the bibliometric approach, this study extracted and analyzed 229 journal articles on the Web of Science. In addition, two analyses (bibliographic coupling and co-word) were performed to provide science mapping in presenting the knowledge structure on the present and future research direction on knowledge-sharing and TPB. Findings The findings of this study suggest that two stand-out clusters are determinants and antecedents of knowledge-sharing behavior based on TPB and the role of the virtual platform and social media in facilitating knowledge-sharing among users. Research limitations/implications This study will benefit researchers and scholars in studying individual behavioral traits underpinning TPB in achieving organizational excellence. Originality/value This study extends the findings of the previous review because of their limitations on methods. This study confirms the determinants of knowledge-sharing intention and behavior. However, this study suggests integrating TPB with other theories to provide more insights into knowledge-sharing behavior and use online and technology-based platforms to facilitate knowledge-sharing behavior.

Work pressure in higher education: a state of the art bibliometric analysis on academic work–life balance

“…The bibliometric approach is a quantitative method utilizing the bibliographic database to aid researchers in understanding the knowledge structure based on science mapping (Donthu et al ., 2021). The method introduces a measure of objectivity in scientific literature by aggregating the opinions of scholars in the field, which helps to reduce bias (Zupic and Čater, 2015; Fauzi et al ., 2023). The bibliometric approach will complement the existing qualitative systematic literature review and the quantitative meta-analysis to review scientific literature.…”

Pro-environmental behavior and the theory of planned behavior: a state of the art science mapping

“…There are many studies exploring the fundamental of TPB in respective fields, such as tourism and hospitality (Ulker-Demire and Ciftci, 2020), knowledge management (Nguyen et al. , 2019; Fauzi et al. , 2023a), and food safety (Lin and Roberts, 2020).…”

“…It explores the determinants of proenvironmental behavior and empirically proposes to influence these predictors to improve people's pro-environmental behavior. There are many studies exploring the fundamental of TPB in respective fields, such as tourism and hospitality (Ulker-Demire and Ciftci, 2020), knowledge management (Nguyen et al, 2019;Fauzi et al, 2023a), and food safety (Lin and Roberts, 2020). TPB noted that individual behavior is guided by beliefs about the potential outcome of the behavior and evaluation of past outcomes, leading to positive or negative attitudes toward the behavior (Vesely and Kl€ ockner, 2018).…”

Knowledge Sharing on Social Media: A Decade in Review (2013-2023)

“…These areas include user behavior on KSSM, the utility and advantages of social media platforms and tools, as well as other overlooked issues. Scholars have conducted bibliometric analyses on knowledge sharing, including Fauzi et al (2023) and PM et al (2019). Additionally, various studies have explored associated subjects, such as knowledge management (Fauzi, 2023;Gaviria-Marin et al, 2019;Noor et al, 2020;Shashi et al, 2021), knowledge syntheses (Maggio et al, 2021;Perrier et al, 2016), knowledge structure (Peng et al, 2020), knowledge development (Johnson and Samakovlis, 2019), and knowledge hiding (Di Vaio et al, 2021).…”
