Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate students’ behavior towards knowledge sharing and the factors, individual and classroom, affecting it. Quantitative research design was used to conduct this study. Students enrolled in engineering universities, located in three provinces (Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh) and capital (Islamabad) of Pakistan, were the population of this study. Researchers collected the data through survey questionnaires. SPSS-22 was used to analyze the collected data and for testing the hypotheses. Results revealed that the majority of engineering students’ knowledge sharing behavior was positive. Findings proved that majority of individual and classroom related factors were affecting knowledge sharing behavior of Pakistani students significantly. This is the first study which investigated Pakistani 10 engineering category universities’ students’ behavior towards knowledge sharing and factors impacting it. Results contributed in the body of literature by advancing it regarding behavior towards knowledge sharing in the context of engineering students of Pakistan. The study’s findings can play a vital role in facilitating educational institutions, students, and academicians in understanding the factors impacting students’ knowledge sharing behavior. This, in turn, might help them in removing negatively influencing factors by taking essential measures and facilitating factors with positive impact to improve students’ knowledge sharingbehavior.
巴基斯坦工科学生知识共享行为的培养:个体作用与课堂相关因素
摘要本研究旨在探讨学生的知识分享行为及其影响因素,包括个体因素和课堂因素。本研究采用定量研究设计。在巴基斯坦三个省(旁遮普省、开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省、信德省)和首都(伊斯兰堡)就读工程大学的学生是本研究的对象。研究人员通过调查问卷收集数据。SPSS-22用于分析收集的数据并检验假设。结果显示,工科学生的知识共享行为大部分是积极的。结果表明,大多数个体因素和课堂因素显著影响巴基斯坦学生的知识共享行为。本研究首次调查了巴基斯坦10所工程类大学学生的知识共享行为及其影响因素。通过在巴基斯坦工程专业学生的背景下推进关于知识共享行为的文献主体中的结果做出贡献。本研究的发现对于促进教育机构、学生和学者了解影响学生知识共享行为的因素具有重要作用。这反过来又可以帮助他们采取必要的措施,消除负面影响因素,促进积极影响因素,改善学生的知识共享行为。
