摘要
This study aims to determine engineering students' behavior towards Knowledge Sharing (KS). Researchers also investigated the effect of technological and organizational factors on students' behavior towards KS. Another purpose of this paper was to identify the difference among different universities' students regarding their KSB. The authors conducted this study using quantitative methodology. The population of the study was engineering students admitted in 10 Pakistani universities based in different Pakistani provinces and capital. Results confirmed that the majority of Pakistani engineering students were sharing knowledge with their fellows with good frequency. It was also found that students of different universities differed significantly regarding their KSB. However, factors related with technology and organization did not influence (significantly) KSB of engineering students of Pakistan. Results might facilitate students and organizations, especially related to the field of education in understanding the role of technological and organizational related factors towards students' KSB.
