E, ali The Impact of collaborative knowledge environment on attitude toward knowledge sharing

Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between collaborative knowledge environment and the attitude towards knowledge sharing based on social exchange theory. To achieve the research objectives, this study adopted a descriptive design. A questionnaire was used to collect data from a convenient sample of 115 employees from Sudanese insurance companies who were selected for analysis.

Data analysis showed that only two elements of collaborative knowledge environment have a significant positive effect on knowledge sharing intention, while organizational culture and direct supervisor support have a negative effect on collaborative knowledge intention. These findings are discussed in light of previous literature. In addition, this study acknowledged several limitations and provided insightful suggestions for future research.
