Title
A Study On The Influence Of Organizational Climate On Knowledge-Sharing Behavior In It Enterprises
Abstract
The aim of our study was to further develop an understanding of organizational climate in organizational knowledge sharing. We first developed a research model in which three organizational climate factors (friendly relation, innovation and fairness) were combined with the social cognitive theory. After developing a measurement tool, we collected 142 effective questionnaires about developers from IT enterprises in south China, and examined and revised the research model by using confirmatory factoring analysis. We found that, in IT enterprises, organizational climate (friendly relations, innovation and fairness), self-efficacy and outcome expectations significantly contributed to in a staff's knowledge-sharing behavior, organizational climate had a indirect effect on knowledge-sharing behavior by impacting self-efficacy and outcome expectations, and selfefficacy significantly contributed to outcome expectations in knowledge sharing. According to study results, we finally provided some suggestions for IT enterprises to promote organizational knowledge sharing.
