“…Even though support from top management is necessary to ensure that knowledge sharing harmonises with organisational culture (Davenport & Prusak 1998), the results of this study show that there was lack of support from top management of Limpopo municipalities. Lack of support and budget from top management are in accordance with previous studies (Riege 2005, Chigada 2014, Kathiravelu et al 2014).…”

Knowledge is regarded as an important resource for any organisation. Sharing of knowledge is crucial to the survival of an organisation, especially in municipalities which are required to deliver basic services to citizens. This study examined knowledge sharing practices in selected municipalities of Limpopo Province, South Africa. The study adopted a quantitative research approach and a survey research design, using a structured questionnaire as data collection method. The population for the study comprised of staff members in the Information and Knowledge Management and Human Resource Management units in seven municipalities in Limpopo Province, selected through stratified and proportional sampling methods. Data were analysed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software. The results of the study showed that, although knowledge sharing is viewed as important by the respondents, it is not encouraged among employees, and appears to be the least supported task by most managers attached to selected municipalities. There is insufficient information technology infrastructure to support knowledge sharing, and there is no reward system to encourage employees to engage in knowledge sharing. Therefore, the municipalities need to implement the reward system and to acquire relevant information and communications technology infrastructure to motivate and stimulate the culture of knowledge sharing.

“…Management must support and enforce the positive behaviour of knowledge sharing (Lin, 2007, Mueller, 2012, Kathiravelu et al 2014. Furthemore, trust has emerged as an important factor inside and outside the organization for knowledge sharing (Mohamed, Ann & Yee, 2014).…”

“…In terms of care or empathy, Von Krogh (1998) proposed a framework to show how empathy among organization members promotes effective knowledge sharing. The organization should create a culture of sharing that facilitates knowledge sharing and the structure of the company must be in shape that can speed the knowledge sharing (Kathiravelu et al 2014). Knowledge sharing is becoming increasingly important to ensure that practice and policy are based on sound evidence.…”

Knowledge sharing is an effective means to provide information for organizational growth. The study investigated the influence of demographic factors on knowledge sharing among researchers in selected research institutes in Oyo state, Nigeria. The study adopted survey research method. Total enumeration technique was used to cover all the 440 researchers in the four selected research institutes in Ibadan, Oyo State in Nigeria. Five (5) research questions guided the study and three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings of the study reveals that, there were significant relationship between knowledge sharing and gender (r=0.1; p<0.5) and rank of researcher (r=0.1; p<0.5). Knowledge sharing correlated with each of researcher demographic factors: age, gender, marital status, religion, and educational level. The study recommends that necessary encouragement by institutions should be given to the researchers to improve their knowledge sharing behavior. In addition, adequate training and re-training should be provided as well as stable Internet connectivity.

“…The measurement items were adopted from literature, whose validity and reliability were already established. The technological factors constructs were measured by 8 items divided as follows; 4 items for IT-infrastructure and 4 items for social media usage adopted from [69,70]. Knowledge sharing was measured by 4 items adopted form [30,71,72].…”

This study is an attempt to resolve the issue the mediating role of knowledge sharing on supply chain performance (SCP), by considering different technological factors, in the context of SMEs in Jordan. The study specifically examined the relationship between technological factors and SCP, with the mediating role of knowledge sharing among the SMEs. The study adopted a self-administered questionnaire as a data collection technique, with which data were gathered from 371 supply chain members of various SMEs in the Jordanian industries. Data was then exposed to analysis using AMOS and SEM. The obtained findings showed support for the formulated hypothesis, in that the findings indicated the mediating role of knowledge sharing on the technological factors-SCP relationship at the significance level of 1%. The findings also showed that IT infrastructure and social media usage (technological factors) had no direct significant relationship with SCP but the technological factors had a significant positive relationship with knowledge sharing at the significance level of 1%.
