Abstract

Tacit Knowledge Sharing (TKS) becomes vital for new knowledge creation. Knowledge creation process encourages the view of knowledge as a public good while knowledge appropriation process encourages knowledge to be viewed as a private good. This paper studies the impact of these views about knowledge on TKS. Based on social interdependency theory, four workplace relationships were identified for studying TKS. “Knowledge as a public good” and “knowledge as a private good” were used as indicator variables. Using OLS regression, the four proposed models were tested. Data for the study was obtained from a questionnaire-based survey of 184 research students. The results revealed “knowledge as non-exclusive” to be a positive predictor of TKS. Viewing knowledge as a private good had a negative relationship with TKS. Implications for research and practitioners are discussed.
