Jiacheng et al., 2010: A Cognitive Model of Intra-Organizational Knowledge-Sharing Motivations in the View of Cross-Culture

Topic:

Intrinsic motivation operates through affective commitment: internalization, identification and conformity; rewards have little direct effects on final intentions but they will influence attitude indirectly via identification; punishment for not sharing splits on cultural lines: Chinese tend to comply to avoid opposing their group and Americans tend to follow a more individualistic path; Chinese have more tendencies to conform to teams’ opinions and tend to favor KS as a means of achieving harmonious relationships, while Americans engage in KS because self-worth is viewed as the manifestation of their individual determinations.

Survey, 149 and 131 responses from China and the USA respectively
