Quigley et al., 2007: A Multilevel Investigation of the Motivational Mechanisms Underlying Knowledge Sharing and Performance

Topic:

The effect of group-oriented incentive systems on the knowledge provider was enhanced when more positive norms for knowledge sharing existed among dyad members. The recipient’s self-efficacy had a stronger relationship with performance goals when the recipient trusted the provider. Finally, self-set goals and knowledge sharing had both direct and interactive effects on individual performance.

Lab experiment with survey, 120 students, good combination of lab measurement with scales
