Description
Summary:The study aimed to examine the relationship between collaborative knowledge environment and intention to share knowledge based on the theory of reasoned action (TRA). To achieve the research objectives, this study adopted the descriptive design. A questionnaire and a convenience sampling were used to collect the data from sample of 395 employees of the Sudanese insurance firms. This study employed structural equation modeling using SPSS. The analysis of the data showed that only two components of collaborative knowledge environment (CKE) have a significant positive influence on intention to share knowledge (i.e., employee attitude and work group support) whereas the other remaining components of CKE, namely organizational culture and immediate supervisor support have a negative influence on KSI. These findings were discussed in the light of previous literature. As a conclusion, the study contributes to the knowledge sharing literature by illuminating the interrelations of context, collaborative knowledge environment, attitude, and intention, offering useful implications to theory and practice.
