A Structural Equation Modeling Approach to Examine the Factors Affecting Knowledge Sharing Behaviour of Teaching Professionals

This study examines the factors affecting knowledge sharing behavior (KSB) of teaching professionals of the educational Institutes of Odisha. It explores the relationship between teacher's attitude to share (AS), subjective norms (SN) and perceived behaviour control (PBC), the constructs developed by well known theory of planned behavior (TPB) on the teachers' behavior of sharing knowledge. It develops a better understanding of the theory of knowledge management and TPB model in Indian context. It is a descriptive study, based on the primary data collected from a sample of 196 teaching professionals of educational institutions. The study finds positive relationship of AS, PBC on KSB and a negative relationship between SN and KSB. This study also tries to check the adequacy of the well accepted TPB model in the Indian context.
