How knowledge sharing practices foster job resourcefulness and knowledge sharing behavior: evidence from disaster management workers
摘要
Grounded in social exchange theory and in integration with social cognitive theory, this study examines the impact of employee-perceived knowledge-sharing practices on the knowledge-sharing behavior of disaster management workers (n = 516). Specifically, it investigates the mediating role of job resourcefulness and the moderating role of high-performance work systems in this relationship. Using structural equation modeling, the findings reveal a significant positive association between (knowledge-sharing) practices and behavior. Job resourcefulness partially mediates this relationship, indicating that knowledge-sharing practices enhance employees’ adaptive capacity, which in turn promotes knowledge-sharing behavior. Furthermore, high-performance work systems strengthen the positive effect of knowledge-sharing practices on job resourcefulness, resulting in a significant conditional indirect effect on knowledge-sharing behavior. Overall, the results underscore the importance of organizational knowledge-sharing practices in cultivating job resourcefulness and highlight the strategic boundary condition role of HPWS in disaster management contexts.
