Data were evaluated and presented in tables using the Smart PLS 3.3.3 software. Findings The results indicated that SC and web 2.0 significantly affected TKS. The finding also discusses the significant impact of TKS in influencing IWB among IT professionals. The results indicated that AC moderates the relationship between TKS and IWB.
