Abstract EN
This study investigates Knowledge Sharing (KS) in Islamic banks.
Fishbein’s Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) has been used as a theoretical framework.
Close ended questionnaire was used to gather data from employees of Islamic banks.
This study examined the effect of independent variables i.e., Anticipated Extrinsic Rewards (AER), Sense of Self-Worth (SSW), and Organization-Based Self-Esteem (OBSE) and Anticipated Reciprocal Relationship (ARR) on variables i.e., Intentions towards Knowlede Sharing (IKS), Attitude to Knowledge Sharing (ATKS).
The objective was to find out the strongest predictor.
Structural Equations Modeling (SEM) has been applied to examine the hypothesized relations.
Analysis shows strong association between IKS and ATKS.
Hypotheses relating SSW and OBSE were endorsed.
While ARR and AER did not influence KS attitude, yet the OBSE was found to have strongest impact on KS attitude.
In the light of results, it is suggested that Islamic banks should focus on other ways to encourage KS rather than investing in reward systems.
They should also focus on relationship improvement and also ensure support to employees by means of carrier planning and job security
