Factors affecting knowledge sharing intention among university teaching faculty: an Educational Sector Visage Sidra Babar Malik, 01-229132-011 The study attempts to shed light on some of the factors that affect knowledge sharing intention among universities’ teaching faculty. In particular, the objective is to fill the research gap through empirical study and integration of factors from two theories Theory of reasoned action (TRA) and theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and their effect on knowledge sharing intention creation, so as to provide a holistic and encompassing view. Purpose: To investigate the factors (attitudes and subjective norms) effecting knowledge sharing among the teaching faculty, along with the study of self-efficacy, perceived extrinsic rewards and social networks as determinants of attitudes toward knowledge sharing and organizational support as determinant of subjective norms, in the public and private sector universities in Pakistan. Methodology: The population of the study is all the faculty members employed in public and private sector universities of Pakistan. The sample for this study is 231 faculty members selected via simple random sampling. SPSS was used to test the hypothesis of the study. Cronbach Alpha’s were used for reliability analysis of the variables. Also, demographics and descriptive analysis was done. Hypotheses were tested via use of correlation and regression analysis. Results: The study reveals that attitude and subjective norm are positively and significantly related to knowledge sharing intention. Among other elements, self-efficacy and social networks are positively whereas extrinsic rewards are negatively and significantly related to attitude towards knowledge sharing. In the interim, organizational support has demonstrated solid impact on subjective norms. Also, attitude was found to mediate the relationship between self-efficacy, social networks, perceived extrinsic rewards and intention to share knowledge and subjective norm was found to mediate the relationship between organizational support and intention to share knowledge. Significance: The study adds to the literature by providing a detailed investigation of the dependent and independent variables, based on theories TRA and TPB in more than one university setting. The findings of these causal relationships provide a better understanding of knowledge sharing phenomenon about the faculty members that makes them realise more efficient use of knowledge sharing cultures, support and propagate it.

The impact of self-determination and employee creativity on work performance: a study of media and broadcasting companies of Pakistan Muhammad Kashif Majeed, 01-229112-014 largely dependent on the input of its employees. Considerable emphasis appears to be obvious in the scholarship examining the factors that augment the employees’ work performance. Although research in this area seems to be on the rise, the antecedents of self-determination and employee creativity have not been given the due scholarly attention, particularly, in context of a developing economy. Thus, the center of attention of this study is to predict the possibility, at an acceptable level of confidence, that self-determination and employee creativity improve the work performance. The present study has accordingly estimated a regression model to demonstrate the likely variation in work performance based on antecedents of self-determination and employee creativity. Using survey data from 380 professionals working in media and broadcasting companies of Pakistan, it is found that, as hypothesized, self-determination and employee creativity positively affects the work performance. Hence, the hypotheses of this study which suggest that self-determination and employee creativity augment the work performance of employees to achieve organizational objectives are sustained. Afterwards, the implication of this inquiry for the academia, practitioners, and the policy makers are discussed in the field of human resource management and organizational behavior. Focusing on the individual dimensions discussed in the present study to foster self-determination and employee creativity, while making decisions about job designs, may make work environment more motivating. The study offers a detailed insight to help academicians, policy makers, and practitioners improve the work performance of employees based on the theory of intrinsic motivation. Finally, the possible avenues for future research in the existing field of inquiry are discussed briefly Supervised by Mr.Prof. Dr. Zahid Mahmood
