Knowledge Sharing Practices, Job Resourcefulness, Knowledge Sharing Behaviour of Disaster Management Workers : Role of High-Performance Work Systems

Drawing on the social exchange theory, we investigated the association between employee perception of knowledge-sharing practices (KSP) and knowledge-sharing behaviour (KSB) mediated by job resourcefulness. At the same time, we assessed the moderating effects of the perception of high-performance work systems (HPWS). In total, 516 disaster management workers participated in the study. The results show a positive association between the KSP and KSB, partially mediated by job resourcefulness. Similarly, the perception of HPWS strengthens the association between KSP and job resourcefulness and has conditional indirect effects on KSB. The study findings revealed the mechanism through which disaster management workers engage in KSB. The study highlights the importance of implementing KSP to enhance job resourcefulness and KSB among employees and the role of HPWS in this regard
