Keywords:
Personality Traits; Knowledge Governance Situation; Knowledge Sharing Behavior; HLM
Abstract
In an organization, people’s knowledge sharing behavior is not only related to their personality traits but also regulated by the knowledge governance situation of their organizations. This paper demonstrates the intrinsic relationship between the big five personalities, the knowledge sharing the behaviour of the organization and the situation of knowledge governance, establishes a construct model of the big five personalities as the independent variable, the knowledge sharing behavior as the dependent variable and the knowledge governance situation as the moderator variable. The questionnaire was used to collect the scale data and the HLM model was used to test the relevant hypotheses. The results show that different personality traits have different correlations with knowledge sharing behavior, and knowledge governance situation has a moderating effect on the relationship between personality traits and knowledge sharing behavior.
