- "Purpose – This study aims to investigate how psychological motivations influence the knowledge-sharing intention ofemployees andhowthese effects are moderatedbytraditional Chinese culture. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnairesurveywasconductedin China to testtheresearch model. The targetsamples comprisedMBA students whohaveenough practical experience, as wellas considerable academic experience. Findings – The results suggest that anticipated reciprocal relationships, anticipated extrinsic rewards and sense of self-worth exert different effects on knowledge-sharing intention. In addition, traditional Chinese culture plays different roles in the relationships among these three psychological motivations and knowledge-sharing intention. Specifically, guanxi orientation positively moderates the effect of anticipated reciprocal relationships and negatively moderates the effect of sense of self-worth. Face gaining negativelymoderates the effectofanticipatedreciprocalrelationships andpositivelymoderates the effect ofsense ofself-worth. Face saving negatively moderates the effect ofanticipated reciprocal relationships and sense of self-worth. Originality/value – A few studies in extant knowledge management (KM) literature provided insights into how traditional Chinese culture could directly affect knowledge sharing. The authors depart from these studies byintegrating these characteristic indigenous concepts (i.e. face andguanxi orientation) into this study. The authors offer an indigenous cultural view of how these indigenous concepts truly influence an individual’s psychological states and inclination in KM literature. Through this approach, the results confirm that these cultural factors do play an important role during the formation of knowledge-sharing intention and reveals several important research findings."
