Sažetak
Disseminating and sharing of knowledge is the corner stone of
knowledge economy. It is, therefore, imperative to know the factors
which could be instrumental in this distribution. The purpose
of this research is to understand the relative importance of knowledge-
sharing factors such as knowledge of the situation and
social network (SN) on knowledge sharing in University of
Peshawar. Data from 244 randomly selected respondents from
the target population has been collected through a questionnaire.
The questionnaire was tested for its validity and reliability.
Multiple regression analysis has been employed to test hypotheses
of the study. Findings indicate that knowledge of the situation
and SN both are positive and significant predictors of knowledge
sharing. However, among the two, SN happens to be a stronger
influential factor within the overall model. This research addresses
the gap on knowledge sharing in general and in Universities in
particular which appears sparse. As a social research, the study
has its limitations. This article contributes to the theoretical integration
of Attitude-to-Behaviour process model and social capital
and put to empirical testing on regional data. Organisations working
on knowledge transfer programs may get benefit from the
findings of this research. Recommendations for further research
have also been provided.
