Abstract

The study aims to test the mediating role of performance and communication perception in the effect of organisational culture on information sharing. In line with this general purpose, it has been tested whether performance and communication perception influence the impact of the organisational culture in which the academics’ working in a higher education institution work on their knowledge-sharing behaviours. Research data were collected using the knowledge-sharing, communication and performance perception, and organisational culture scales in the 2020-2021 academic year. The research population consists of 1199 academicians. All the academicians were sent an e-mail, 377 questionnaires were returned, and 362 valid questionnaires were obtained. The research data were tested with the structural equation model (SEM). It has been found that the organisational culture of individuals predicts knowledge sharing, and communication-performance perception has a mediating role in the relationship between organisational culture and knowledge sharing. This result revealed that communication and performance perception influence knowledge sharing and act as a mediator in the effect of organisational culture on knowledge sharing.

Özet

Çalışmanın amacı, örgüt kültürünün bilgi paylaşımına etkisinde performans ve iletişim algısının aracı rolünü test etmektir. Bu genel amaç doğrultusunda, bir yükseköğretim kurumunda görev yapan akademisyenlerin bilgi paylaşma davranışları üzerinde örgüt kültürünün etkisini ve performans ve iletişim algılarının bu etki de aracı rolü olup olmadığı test edilmiştir. Araştırma verileri bilgi paylaşımı ölçeği, iletişim ve performans algısı ölçeği ve örgüt kültürü ölçeği kullanılarak 2020-2021 akademik yılında toplanmıştır. Araştırma evrenini bir kamu üniversitesinde görev yapan 1199 akademisyen oluşturmaktadır. Tüm akademisyenlere e-posta aracılığıyla araştırma anketi ulaştırılmış olup, 377 anket geri dönmüş ve 362 geçerli anket elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri yapısal eşitlik modeli (YEM) ile test edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda örgüt kültürünün bilgi paylaşımını yordadığı ve örgüt kültürü ile bilgi paylaşımı arasındaki ilişkide iletişim-performans algısının aracılık rolü üstlendiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuç, iletişim ve performans algısının bilgi paylaşımını etkilediğini ve örgüt kültürünün bilgi paylaşımına etkisinde aracılık ettiğini ortaya koymuştur.
