KNOWLEDGE SHARING AND PERFORMANCE: A MEDIATING ROLE OF INNOVATION

Abstract

The Resource-Based View (RBV) states the intangible resources as knowledge resources that provide better and more strategic outcomes than tangible resources of the organization. In this discourse, this study inclines to investigate the role of explicit and tacit knowledge sharing practicing (KSP) on the performance of banks with a mediating role of innovation. The existing instrument is utilized to gather the information from 268 managers from the sample size of 42 banks. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) utilized to assess the accuracy of the model. The results of the study shed light that innovation altogether intervenes in the relationship between both explicit and tacit knowledge-driven performance. Further, findings of the study postulate that explicit KSP fundamentally gives momentum to the performance of banks comparatively tacit KPS thus emphasizes that managers need to increase the flow of tacit KSP through social networking, etc.
