Abstract

Leadership style can encourage the behavior of employees in the organization. Several previous studies have shown the effect of leadership style on knowledge sharing. Nevertheless, more empirical proof is needed to show the various leadership style’ moderation effect. We conduct a literature review to analyze the determinants of knowledge sharing and empirical studies of the moderation effects of leadership styles on the determinants of knowledge sharing in government. The questionnaire survey collected 619 civil servants from a ministry in Indonesia. The test model uses the PLS-SEM method. The results showed that the factors that significantly influenced knowledge-sharing behavior were self-efficacy, horizontal trust, IT adoption, and organizational commitment. The results reveal that transformational leadership significantly moderates recognition reward and knowledge-sharing behavior. Furthermore, transactional leadership significantly moderates IT adoption and knowledge-sharing behavior. However, charismatic and servant leadership do not positively moderate these determinants of knowledge-sharing behavior. This research contributes to the literature on leadership styles and knowledge sharing. This research integrates several past research to confirm the factors influencing knowledge-sharing behavior among civil servants in developing countries. This research is expected to help governments and practitioners consider appropriate policies to encourage knowledge sharing within government organizations. This research filled a gap in the previous study by investigating the moderation effects of various leadership styles on the determinants of knowledge-sharing behavior among civil servants.

公务员知识共享的决定因素和领导风格的调节作用

领导风格可以激励组织中员工的行为。以往的一些研究表明了领导风格对知识共享的影响。然而，还需要更多的实证来证明各种领导风格的调节作用。我们进行了文献综述，分析了知识共享的决定因素，以及领导风格对政府知识共享决定因素的调节作用的实证研究。问卷调查收集了印度尼西亚某部委的 619 名公务员。检验模型采用 PLS-SEM 方法。结果显示，对知识共享行为有显著影响的因素是自我效能感、横向信任、信息技术采用和组织承诺。结果显示，变革型领导对认可奖励和知识共享行为有明显的调节作用。此外，交易型领导对信息技术采用和知识共享行为有明显的调节作用。然而，魅力型领导力和仆人式领导力并不能对知识共享行为的这些决定因素产生积极的调节作用。本研究为有关领导风格和知识共享的文献做出了贡献。本研究整合了以往的多项研究，以确认影响发展中国家公务员知识共享行为的因素。本研究有望帮助政府和从业人员考虑适当的政策，鼓励政府组织内部的知识共享。本研究通过调查各种领导风格对公务员知识共享行为决定因素的调节作用，填补了以往研究的空白。
