The Mediating Effect of Work Engagement on the Relationship Between Person-Organization Fit and Knowledge Sharing

Abstract

The Australian study of Gahan, Healy, & Nicholson (2017) presents a discussion of the range of obstacles to the effective implementation of knowledge management strategies in the Australian corporate environment. Our paper provides consistent findings of the obstacles to knowledge management implementation strategies and presents a conceptual model for improvement of both work engagement as well as knowledge sharing amongst IT professionals. We propose that there is a relationship between the level of autonomy, person-organization fit and work engagement and subsequently the level of knowledge sharing of different generations of professionals working in IT service firms.
