Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between knowledge sharing (KS) and innovative performance (IP) through the mediating effect of employee creativity (EC) in the manufacturing industries operating in Gujrat, Pakistan. KS among employees and its resultant IP is considered as a basic challenge faced by the manufacturing industries in Pakistan. The main motivation of the current study is to research this significant however neglected segment of the economy. Design/methodology/approach This quantitative study used deductive approach. Social exchange theory and resource-based view framework were used to predict relationships between EC, KS and IP. Data were collected through five-point Likert scale questionnaire from 158 managers including engineers and operational staff selected through convenient sampling. Regression analysis was performed using the Andrew Hayes Process macros in SPSS. Findings The results showed that there is a positive and significant effect of the KS on IP. Moreover, the mediation analysis showed that EC positively mediate the relationship between KS and IP. Research limitations/implications The study target population is limited the single city where most of industries are located. This can be extended to other industrial areas of the country to increase reliability of the results. Practical implications The study holds a significant contribution to the understanding of the link between KS and IP by emphasizing the role of stimulating EC in organizations. Originality/value It was identified in the literature that there is a lack of studies in this context as current conceptual model has not been studied before in the context of emerging economies at large and very few studies conducted in case of developed countries with totally different institutional setup. To put forward the study by Lee (2018), this is the first study that investigates the mediation of creativity between KS and IP in emerging markets manufacturing industry.

“…Inconsistent research results also occur in research on the influence of hierarchical culture on knowledge sharing. There are research results that show a significant influence of hierarchical culture on knowledge sharing [12,19,20]. The opposite results are shown in other studies [17,18,21].…”

“…Some researchers refer to Cameron & Quinn's [16] views on organizational types. They measure the influence of clan culture, adhocracy, market, and hierarchy on knowledge sharing [17][18][19][20][21]. Their results showed that clan culture had a positive and significant effect on knowledge sharing [17][18][19]21].…”

“…The influence of organizational culture on knowledge sharing can be strengthened by mediating variables. Several studies have shown an indirect effect of organizational culture on knowledge sharing through mediating variables, namely subjective norms [35], sense of well-being [10], trust [5], job autonomy [51], formal knowledge governance mechanism, knowledge-sharing opportunity [20], organizational commitment [43]; and job satisfaction [52]. Therefore, anyone who is committed to developing knowledge-sharing behaviour among organizational members, they must pay attention to subjective norms, sense of well-being, trust, formal knowledge governance mechanisms, knowledge-sharing opportunities, organizational commitment and job satisfaction of employees.…”

“…Based on a number of these characteristics, organizational culture can be divided into several types as can be seen in table below. Clan, adhocracy, market and hierarchy culture [16][17][18][19][20][21] The Table 1 shows that there are many types of organizations. Each type shows the dominant characteristics which are the core values of the organization.…”

Knowledge is one of the important sources in an organization. Therefore, knowledge management is needed so that knowledge can be utilized effectively and efficiently. One dimension of knowledge management is knowledge sharing behaviour. This is influenced by many factors. One of them is organizational culture. Unfortunately, the literature that comprehensively reviews the influence of organizational culture on knowledge sharing behaviour has not been widely found. This study aims to fill that gap. This research was conducted using a meta-synthesis method with a meta-aggregation approach. The literature reviewed was limited to Scopus indexed articles written in English and published in 2011-2020. The literature reviewed is only articles containing quantitative research results. The articles are searched using search engines. The results of the study show that organizational culture affects knowledge sharing both directly and through 8 mediating variables, namely formal knowledge governance mechanisms, job autonomy, job satisfaction, knowledge-sharing opportunity, organizational commitment, sense of well-being, subjective norms, and trust. The direction (positive or negative) and the level of significance of the influence of organizational culture on knowledge sharing depend on the type of organizational culture. The development of knowledge sharing behaviour can be done by creating a culture conducive to sharing knowledge or by strengthening the influence of organizational culture through mediating variables. The results of this study enrich the theory of organizational culture and knowledge management and assist policymakers in providing interventions to develop knowledge sharing behaviour.
