Drivers for knowledge sharing: propositions for the role of motivational differences
by Suzanne C. Beckmann
International Journal of Strategic Change Management (IJSCM), Vol. 1, No. 3, 2009

Abstract: Knowledge governance aims at managing knowledge processes in and across organisations. The majority of the literature is concerned with determining and evaluating the appropriate structures and mechanisms, yet very little research effort has looked into the psychological predispositions of willingness to share knowledge. This conceptual paper takes its starting point in motivational psychology, more specifically self-determination theory and its concept of causality orientations, in order to derive three main propositions concerning individual response patterns to knowledge governance.
