Abstract

This study delves into the impact of knowledge sharing on innovative work behaviour within higher education institutions in Ghana, utilising data gathered from 285 participants. Employing a quantitative approach and utilising a descriptive-correlational research design, this research reveals a consistently high level of innovative work behaviour. All dimensions of innovative work behaviour, including idea promotion, idea generation, and idea implementation, received notably high scores. Likewise, the sub-components of knowledge sharing, namely the community of practice, organisational communication, personal interaction, and written contribution, were rated as high within these institutions. The study establishes a significant positive correlation between knowledge sharing and innovative work behaviour (β = 0.88, p = 0.00). The study advocates for promoting knowledge-sharing mechanisms within higher education institutions, fostering an environment that facilitates seamless knowledge exchange amongst all members.

期刊介绍： Higher Education Quarterly publishes articles concerned with policy, strategic management and ideas in higher education. A substantial part of its contents is concerned with reporting research findings in ways that bring out their relevance to senior managers and policy makers at institutional and national levels, and to academics who are not necessarily specialists in the academic study of higher education. Higher Education Quarterly also publishes papers that are not based on empirical research but give thoughtful academic analyses of significant policy, management or academic issues.
