The Effect of Organizational Culture, Rewards and Trust on Knowledge Sharing Among Academic Staff

Knowledge Sharing (KS) has attracted the attention of researchers and is considered an essential element for organizations and universities. Limited studies are conducted in developing countries in general, particularly in Iraq. This study aims to identify the factors influencing KS among academic staff. The study was conducted in Iraq at Cihan University-Erbil. Data were collected by questionnaire, and 135 valid responses were received from the academic staff. Smart-PLS analysed the data, and the results showed that organizational culture (OC), trust, rewards and information communication technology (ICT) positively and significantly impact KS. The study recommended that the university create an environment to enhance and improve KS among staff members and develop a rewards system to increase KS among academic staff.
