Abstract
This study investigates Knowledge Sharing (KS) in Islamic
banks. Fishbein’s Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) has been used as
a theoretical framework. Close ended questionnaire was used to gather
data from employees of Islamic banks. This study examined the effect of
independent variables i.e., Anticipated Extrinsic Rewards (AER), Sense
of Self-Worth (SSW), and Organization-Based Self-Esteem (OBSE) and
Anticipated Reciprocal Relationship (ARR) on variables i.e., Intentions
towards Knowlede Sharing (IKS), Attitude to Knowledge Sharing (ATKS).
The objective was to find out the strongest predictor. Structural Equations
Modeling (SEM) has been applied to examine the hypothesized relations.
Analysis shows strong association between IKS and ATKS. Hypotheses
relating SSW and OBSE were endorsed. While ARR and AER did not
influence KS attitude, yet the OBSE was found to have strongest impact
on KS attitude. In the light of results, it is suggested that Islamic banks
should focus on other ways to encourage KS rather than investing in reward
systems. They should also focus on relationship improvement and also
ensure support to employees by means of carrier planning and job security.
