Moderating Effect of Leadership Components Towards Knowledge Sharing Behavior in Online Communities (S/O 13852)

Despite the significant increase in the number of emerging online programming communities, very few succeed in inspiring members to share their knowledge. Recent studies have focused on personal level factors in encouraging members’ knowledge sharing. However, limited studies emphasis on the role of...

Recent studies have focused on personal level factors in encouraging members’ knowledge sharing. However, limited studies emphasis on the role of leader.
