摘要
This study examines the impacts of psychological empowerment and subjective norm on knowledge sharing in organizations, and the moderation effects aroused by power distance. Quantitative data from 567 valid questionnaires are collected by survey from a large company. The results demonstrate that subjective norm and psychological empowerment are positively associated with attitude toward knowledge sharing. Moreover, the findings further suggest that power distance undermines the influence of psychological empowerment on knowledge sharing but strengthens the effect of motivation to comply. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
