Knowledge sharing among medical teachers: the interplay between personality and the theory of planned behavior
By integrating the Five-Factor Model of personality into TPB, this study demonstrated that TPB is a suitable framework for predicting knowledge-sharing behavior among medical teachers. Furthermore, it revealed that personality traits, particularly conscientiousness, may mediate the relationship between knowledge-sharing intention and behavior. These findings have practical implications for medical administrators in designing effective systems and interventions to enhance knowledge sharing among academics.
