TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the predictors of knowledge-sharing behavior (KSB) of Malaysian public service administrators and found that intrinsic motivational factors, time availability and organisational socialisation were the key intermediate factors to enable intrinsically motivated administrators to engage in KSB.
Abstract:
Purpose
Compared with the extensive research on knowledge management in the Western context, relatively little research has emerged in Asia. This study aims to report an investigation of the predictors of knowledge-sharing behaviour (KSB) of Malaysian public service administrators.
Design/methodology/approach
Surveys were designed based on established instruments and yielded 231 responses from administrators of various managerial grades.
Findings
The findings indicated that KSB was predicted by intrinsic motivational factors, time availability and organisational socialisation. Further, the findings showed that affective commitment towards the organisations is the key intermediate factor to enable intrinsically motivated administrators to engage in KSB.
Research limitations/implications
This study examined motivational factors among the public sector administrators only. Thus, it limits the findings generalisation to other groups of employees such as from the private sector and non-governmental organisations.
Practical implications
The findings of this study shall enlighten organisations particularly the public sector organisations, in strategies and plan of action towards enhancing and advancing knowledge management practice among employees.
Originality/value
This paper offers new insight into the significance of intrinsic motivational factors which enhanced with employees’ commitment to fostering KSB in organisations.

TL;DR: The findings showed a satisfactory fit of the new model as compared to the original SCCT, and it was suggested that researchers should embrace this alternative model when synthesizing S CCT factors.
Abstract: Derived from the social cognitive career theory (SCCT), the present study developed a model for the empirical examination of factors affecting the life satisfaction of university students. A random-effects meta-analysis of zero-order correlations observed the results of 16 studies (20 samples, n = 7,967), and associations among the SCCT variables were examined by using a meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) according to a pooled correlation matrix. An alternative model was offered and then assessed. The findings showed a satisfactory fit of the new model as compared to the original SCCT. The results demonstrated support for the alternative model of SCCT in predicting life satisfaction. The present study suggested that researchers should embrace this alternative model when synthesizing SCCT factors. Limitations and avenues for future research were put forward for further consideration.
