| Summary: | This study examines the direct relationship between personal values, organizational climate and knowledge sharing behavior.The study also
investigates the mediating effect of subjective
norms on the relationship between personal values,
organizational climate and knowledge sharing
behavior. A total of 650 questionnaires were
personally distributed to respondents from five
Tanzanian public hospitals (Muhimbili National
Hospital, Ligula Referral Hospital, Mnazi Mmoja
Hospital, Sekou Toure Reginal Hospital Mwanza
and Mbeya Referral Hospital) after permission was
granted by the hospital management. Hypotheses
for this study were tested using Partial least squarestructural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The
results show that personal values, organizational
climate and subjective norms were positively
significantly related to knowledge sharing behavior.Also, both personal values and organizational climate were positively related to subjective norms.Meanwhile, the findings for mediating effect showed that subjective norms mediate the relationship between personal values and knowledge sharing behavior and between
organizational climate and knowledge sharing
behavior.
