It can lead to increased knowledge creation, collaboration level, and level of innovation, which, in turn, increases organizational performances.

The questionnaire used in this study was adapted from Brockhus and Yu instruments. The result of this study shows that there is a positive and significant effect of knowledge sharing activities on creative self-efficacy. The higher the level of knowledge sharing activities within the organization, the more it will encourage creative self-efficacy.
