Abstract
  • This conceptual paper proposed personal behaviour as antecedent to behavioural intention that influence intention to Knowledge Sharing Behaviour (KSB) to achieve the outcome of actual behaviour of KSB among non-academic employee of Higher Learning Institutions (HLI) in Indonesia. The main reason is because as far as KSB study is being concerned, little attention has been made towards the management and development among non-academic employees of HLI. In the knowledge-based oriented era, HLI like any other organisation that run by human beings ought to examine personal behaviour of non-academic employees carefully, for reluctances to share knowledge persist. At current, the effectiveness and efficiency of KSB among non-academic employees is one of the keys to achieve competitive advantage within HLI environment or knowledge creation environment. Acquire Extended Theory of Planned Behavior (ETPB) while nominating quantitative method with questionnaires adapted and adopted from previous studies to examine intention to KSB. Probability sampling technique with Partial Least Square (PLS) as Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) will facilitate data analysis and testing of hypotheses. A Focus Group Discussion (FGD) session will be conducted to reinforce the findings. Based on literature review, current conceptual framework paper is offering its theoretical contribution to the development of KSB model by examining personal behaviour as the antecedent to behavioural intention that influence the intention to KSB. The findings will offer its practical managerial contribution in examining the intention to KSB among non-academic employees, which will instantaneously improve quality of human capital within HLI environment in Indonesia. At the same time, it will offer its managerial implication in examining individual capacity in regards to personal behaviour to influence behavioural intention within knowledge-based oriented organisation towards intention to KSB in generating an actual behavior to KSB. Overall, this study is setting its facets on non-academic employees within HLI environment across Indonesia, because the transformation role of HLI has made non-academic employees has become equally as important as academic employees.
