Using alternative scales to measure knowledge sharing behavior: Are there any differences?

作者:

Highlights:

• Knowledge sharing behavior influences innovation partially mediated by absorptive capacity.

• The use of different knowledge sharing behavior scales had no effect on the results.

• Respondents share knowledge, but are not responsible for leveraging knowledge sharing.

• Employees seem to engage more in knowledge sharing participation than in knowledge sharing conduction.

• Tacit knowledge is more widely shared than explicit knowledge.
