Why is it important?
The findings support the importance of high-quality leader-member exchange for knowledge sharing because knowledge-oriented leadership had a strong-significant positive association with the extent of knowledge sharing in the organization. The principal axis factor suggested three factors, all of which were moderately-significantly related to knowledge sharing: the perceived support from the superior, enough time for knowledge sharing, and information flow from the superior.
Perspectives
The study indicates that if innovativeness and the use of human capital are important for an organization’s competitive ability, it is vital to train managers to be able to apply knowledge-oriented leadership.
