摘要
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between high-commitment human resource management and individual knowledge-sharing behavior. Furthermore, the mediating factors that link the relationship are examined. Design/methodology/approach: The structural equation model was applied to test eight hypotheses by means of a survey of 198 practitioners. Findings: High-commitment human resource management was positively related to perceived organizational support. Perceived organizational support was positively associated with organizational trust and organizational commitment. Organizational commitment was positively related with knowledge-sharing behavior. Perceived organizational support and organizational commitment mediated the relationship between high-commitment human resource management and knowledge-sharing behavior. Research implications: First, enterprises can foster knowledge-sharing behavior by adopting high-commitment HRM. Second, when employees perceive organizational support, they generate organizational commitment and then perform knowledge-sharing behavior, benefiting the organization. Originality/value: From the perspectives of social exchange and social identity, this study demonstrated how high-commitment HRM practices dominate knowledge-sharing behavior via perceived organizational support and organizational commitment. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.
