“…Furthermore, it is worth pointing out that knowledge sharing increases the level of service quality within organizations (Ismail and Yusof, 2010). Various researchers have observed that there are several factors that can support successful knowledge sharing, referred to as individual factors (Ali & Dominic, 2016; Goh & Sandhu, 2017; Jinyang, 2015; Mafabi et al, 2017; Meri et al, 2017a; Radaelli et al, 2014; Roba et al, 2016). It is commonly recognized that the benefits of increased knowledge sharing are greater in some countries and reduced in others.…”

“…A study by Radaelli et al (2014) shed light on the relationship between knowledge and innovation by adopting micro-level opinions, with the study's findings showing that individuals who share their knowledge are much more likely to adopt progressive work behaviors. Moreover, the findings by Ali and Dominic (2016) have shown that knowledge sharing is indeed essential for organizations. It can especially help minimize training costs because when knowledge sharing is adopted, employees learn from each other and correspondingly improve their knowledge and skills.…”

Knowledge sharing is considered to be an essential concept and a determinant of success regarding knowledge management. The current paper reviews the most relevant quantitative studies, within the context of individual-level knowledge sharing. The main aim of this paper is to identify the relevant individual factors that influence knowledge sharing. Furthermore, it seeks to identify relevant theories, previously used in literature, that communicate a theoretical understanding of individual levels of knowledge sharing. The researchers searched through five well-known databases using a combination of keywords related to the study context. By applying filtration procedures to the articles gathered from the selected databases, the literature survey revealed 31 most relevant articles. As a result of reviewing the selected articles, it has been indicated that the factors that most affect knowledge sharing include trust, reciprocity, self-efficacy, altruism, and reputation. These factors, studied through different contexts, have been found to significantly affect the behavior of individuals in terms of sharing knowledge. Furthermore, it has been found that the social exchange theory has been repeatedly used. It has been concluded that the resulted antecedents may influence the knowledge sharing of individuals and consider these factors by the decision makers will motivate the individual’s intention to knowledge sharing.

“…Cost reduction is concerned with training costs, cost used to acquire key knowledge, avoiding earlier mistakes, and time proficiency. Customers and suppliers can help startups to access information that might be useful for startups innovative processes (Ali and Dominic, 2016). The relation of startups with their customers and suppliers positions them favorably to access vital information at less cost because of the trust generated between both parties (Noelia and Rosalia, 2020).…”

“…Undoubtedly, sharing information and expertise would foster a learning atmosphere, giving employees the opportunity to learn and develop new abilities. Therefore, cost reduction includes a reduction in training costs and also the cost and time spent in searching for key knowledge to complete projects faster (Ali and Dominic, 2016). Knowledge sharing obviously will reduce the cost of training employees and will develop a learning environment for employees where they can enhance their skills (Noelia and Rosalia, 2020).…”

Purpose Organizations increasingly use knowledge arbitrage to stimulate innovation and achieve competitive advantage. However, in knowledge management its use in startups is yet unexplored. This study aims to examine the utilization of knowledge arbitrage by startups, specifically during COVID-19. Design/methodology/approach This study employed an open-ended essay methodology to explore the drivers and barriers that startups face in utilizing knowledge arbitrage. We collected data from 40 participants to understand the role of knowledge arbitrage in startups’ knowledge management practices. Findings This study’s findings highlight the significance of knowledge arbitrage for startups. The benefits identified include organizational benefits such as building networks, innovating new products and achieving competitive advantage and financial benefits such as cost reduction and sales growth. The study also identifies several technological and organizational drivers and barriers that startups confront during knowledge arbitrage. Originality/value This study contributes to the existing literature on knowledge management by extending our understanding of knowledge arbitrage’s role in startups. Additionally, it sheds light on the importance of knowledge arbitrage for startups and the challenges they face, particularly in a disrupted environment reared by COVID-19. The study provides insights for the scholars and practitioners interested in effective knowledge management in startups.

Background Head nurses are vital in understanding and encouraging knowledge sharing among their followers. However, few empirical studies have highlighted their contribution to knowledge-sharing behaviour in Online Health Communities (OHCs). In addition, scant literature has examined the moderating role of knowledge self-efficacy in this regard. Purposes This study examines the moderating role of self-efficacy between the association of four selected individual factors of head nurses (i.e., Trust, Reciprocity, Reputation, and Ability to Share) and their knowledge-sharing behaviour in OHCs in Jordan. Method The data were obtained by using a self-reported survey from 283 head nurses in 22 private hospitals in Jordan. A moderation regression analysis using a structural equation modelling approach (i.e. Smart PLS-SEM, Version 3) was utilised to evaluate the study’s measurement and structural model. Results Knowledge self-efficacy moderates the relationship between the three individual factors (i.e., Trust, Reciprocity, and Reputation) and knowledge-sharing behaviours. However, self-efficacy did not moderate the relationship between the ability to share and knowledge-sharing behaviours. Implications This study contributes to understanding the moderating role of knowledge self-efficacy among head nurses in online healthcare communities. Moreover, this study provides guidelines for head nurses to become active members in knowledge sharing in OHCs. The findings of this study offer a basis for further research on knowledge sharing in the healthcare sector.
