Impact of Organizational Culture on Knowledge Sharing Behavior

Knowledge is one of the important sources in an organization.Therefore, knowledge management is needed so that knowledge can be utilized effectively and efficiently.One dimension of knowledge management is knowledge sharing behaviour.This is influenced by many factors.One of them is organizational culture.Unfortunately, the literature that comprehensively reviews the influence of organizational culture on knowledge sharing behaviour has not been widely found.This study aims to fill that gap.This research was conducted using a meta-synthesis method with a meta-aggregation approach.The literature reviewed was limited to Scopus indexed articles written in English and published in 2011-2020.The literature reviewed is only articles containing quantitative research results.The articles are searched using search engines.The results of the study show that organizational culture affects knowledge sharing both directly and through 8 mediating variables, namely formal knowledge governance mechanisms, job autonomy, job satisfaction, knowledge-sharing opportunity, organizational commitment, sense of well-being, subjective norms, and trust.The direction (positive or negative) and the level of significance of the influence of organizational culture on knowledge sharing depend on the type of organizational culture.The development of knowledge sharing behaviour can be done by creating a culture conducive to sharing knowledge or by strengthening the influence of organizational culture through mediating variables.The results of this study enrich the theory of organizational culture and knowledge management and assist policymakers in providing interventions to develop knowledge sharing behaviour.
