“…Intention and behavior are different aspects of a functional relation separated in time (Bandura 2001). There are some studies that have found a link between knowledge sharing intention and knowledge sharing behavior (Liu, Ma, Ho & Liu, 2013;Thakadu, Irani & Telg, 2013); therefore, the following hypothesis is stated:…”

Aquatic telemetry technology generates new knowledge about the underwater world that can inform decision‐making processes and thus can improve conservation and natural resource management. Still, there is lack of evidence on how telemetry‐derived knowledge can or has informed management, and what factors facilitate or deter its use. We present one of the first quantitative studies related to the science‐action gap and evaluate factors that influence the uptake of fish telemetry findings into policies and practices, as well as social acceptance of these findings. We globally surveyed 212 fish telemetry researchers regarding the knowledge uptake of an applied fish telemetry research project of their choice. Respondents’ personal and professional attributes, as well as the attributes of their chosen projects, were analyzed using machine learning algorithms to identify important factors that influenced the uptake (i.e., use, trust, and/or acceptance) of their findings. Researchers with extensive collaborations and who spent more time engaging in public outreach experienced greater uptake of their findings. Respondents with greater telemetry experience and commitment (e.g., more telemetry publications, higher proportion of research on fish telemetry) tended to achieve more social acceptance of their findings. Projects led by researchers who were highly involved and familiar with the fisheries management processes, and those where greater effort was devoted to research dissemination, also tended to experience greater uptake. Last, the levels of complexity and controversy of the issue addressed by the research project had a positive influence on the uptake of findings. The empirical results of this study support recent messages in the science practitioner literature for greater collaboration, knowledge co‐production with partners, and public engagement to enable the transfer of knowledge and the use of evidence in decision‐making and policies. Scientific organizations should consider shifting reward incentives to promote engagement and collaboration with non‐scientific actors, and perhaps even rethinking hiring practices to consider personal and professional characteristics or attitudes such as altruism and networking skills given the influence of these factors in our model. Last, networks composed of both research and practice potentially have a key role in brokering and facilitating knowledge exchange and actions.

“…Intention is a good predictor of behavior (Sheeran, Trafimow, & Armitage, 2003). Therefore, if a person has the KSI, it is probable that he or she will share knowledge in practice, as reported in some studies (Liu, Ma, Ho, & Liu, 2013;Thakadu, Irani, & Telg, 2013). As stated before, however, intention is a personal variable that interacts with other perceived variables of the context in a practical situation.…”

“…According to a prospective study, intention has explained between 19% and 38% of the variance of behavior (Sheeran, Trafimow, & Armitage, 2003). Some recent studies have reported a link between KSI and KSB (Liu, Ma, Ho, & Liu, 2013;Thakadu, Irani, & Telg, 2013); therefore, the following hypothesis is stated:…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that affect the knowledge-sharing intention and knowledge-sharing behavior in a public sector organization. A survey was conducted with 188 knowledge workers of a public-sector organization at the national level in Colombia. In this public organization significant relationships between self-efficacy and knowledge-sharing intention, subjective norms, and knowledge-sharing behavior, and between knowledge-sharing intention and knowledge-sharing behavior were found. There was a direct effect of perceived organizational support on knowledge-sharing behavior and a moderator role of perceived organizational support between the studied variables. The findings clarify how some personal variables and perceived organizational support interact in the explanation of knowledge sharing.
