Perceived Training Intensity and Knowledge Sharing Among Banking Sector Employees in Turkey: Examining the Moderating Role of Intrinsic Motivation and Self-Efficacy

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to show the links between the domains of knowledge management and human resources management. This study was conducted among employees from multiple organizations (within different organizational frameworks) in the banking sector in Turkey to examine the relationship between perceived training intensity (PTI) and knowledge sharing considering intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy as the moderating variables. Data was collected from 497 employees working in four different types of banking sector organizations (public banks, private banks with Turkish capital, private banks with foreign capital and participation banks). While a positive relationship was found between perceived training intensity and knowledge sharing, it was reported that, intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy had a positive impact on knowledge sharing and moderated this relationship.
