Abstract

The Vietnamese Government has been struggling to build a higher education system that is innovative to the requests of national knowledge-based development. It is essential to explore knowledge sharing behaviour (KSB) from environmental and individual perspectives. It can help to contribute to innovative work behaviour (IWB) towards knowledge-based development initiatives, in particular regarding the phenomenon of knowledge sharing (KS) in Vietnamese higher education institutions (HEIs). The aim of this research-in-progress is to propose a research model based on social cognitive theory (SCT) that comprises environmental factors (subjective norms, trust), personal factors (knowledge self-efficacy, rewards, reciprocity), KSB and IWB. We advance to conduct a survey to examine our proposed conceptual model. It is expected that this research will contribute to the deeper understanding of the effects of personal and environmental factors and KSB on IBW within Vietnamese HEIs.

Exploring How Environmental and Personal Factors Influence Knowledge Sharing Behaviour Leads to Innovative Work Behaviour in Vietnamese Higher Education Institutions

The Vietnamese Government has been struggling to build a higher education system that is innovative to the requests of national knowledge-based development. It is essential to explore knowledge sharing behaviour (KSB) from environmental and individual perspectives. It can help to contribute to innovative work behaviour (IWB) towards knowledge-based development initiatives, in particular regarding the phenomenon of knowledge sharing (KS) in Vietnamese higher education institutions (HEIs). The aim of this research-in-progress is to propose a research model based on social cognitive theory (SCT) that comprises environmental factors (subjective norms, trust), personal factors (knowledge self-efficacy, rewards, reciprocity), KSB and IWB. We advance to conduct a survey to examine our proposed conceptual model. It is expected that this research will contribute to the deeper understanding of the effects of personal and environmental factors and KSB on IBW within Vietnamese HEIs.
