Case Study of a Structural Model to Explore the Effects of Knowledge Sharing on Intellectual Capital

Case Study of a Structural Model to Explore the Effects of Knowledge Sharing on Intellectual Capital PurposePurpose - It is commonly known that intellectual capital (IC) plays a remarkable role in organizations especially in colleges and academic centers. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of knowledge sharing on intellectual capital.Design/methodology/approachDesign/methodology/approach - Based on the extensive literature review, a questionnaire was designed. The questions were composed of two parts; knowledge sharing questions and intellectual capital questions. 352 students completed questionnaires in Shahinshahr branch of Payam-e-Noor (PNU) University. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to develop the measurement model. FindingsFindings - The finding showed that knowledge sharing (KS) has a significant positive correlation with intellectual capital (IC) and its dimensions. The structural equation modeling confirmed the research model and showed a good match with it.Originality/valueOriginality/value - Given that this study aimed to examine KS and IC, it implies that with optimized knowledge management in universities, providing the infrastructures of knowledge sharing, and strengthening students' motivational factors, knowledge sharing capacities can be enhanced and intellectual capital of universities would be strengthened. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png VINE Journal of Information and Knowledge Management Systems Emerald Publishing
