Abstract: | This study examines the relationships between organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) and knowledge sharing using gender
as a moderator. In the proposed model, five components of OCBs—altruism, courtesy, conscientiousness, sportsmanship, and civic
virtue—influence knowledge sharing. Gender stereotypes have a moderating effect on each path and a main effect on each antecedent.
These moderating effects are simultaneously examined using data obtained from employees at various companies who attend evening
college classes for advanced study in Taiwan. A moderating test reveals that the influence of altruism on knowledge sharing
is stronger for women than for men, while the influences of courtesy and sportsmanship on knowledge sharing are stronger for
men than for women. Lastly, the influences of conscientiousness and civic virtue on knowledge sharing are similar between
women and men. Implications of empirical findings are also discussed. |
