Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of self-efficacy, reputation, reciprocity, altruism, and enjoyment on the online knowledge sharing among employees. The study was conducted in the banking sector. The data were collected from four private banks. Smart-PLS., was applied to analyzed 187 valid questionnaires. The results indicated that self-efficacy, reputation, reciprocity, altruism, and enjoyment have a positive and significant impact on online knowledge sharing among bank employees. Therefore, banks should establish a conducive online knowledge-sharing environment to encourage reciprocal connections and interpersonal interactions among employees. Employees that actively participate in knowledge exchange are encouraged, which help in stimulating the reciprocal online knowledge sharing behavior. The comprehensive model of this study proposes to measure online knowledge sharing in the Banking Sector. The present literature does not take into account such a broad perspective.
