Abstract
This study investigated the critical factors that support knowledge sharing intentions among marketing and management academicians in higher educational institutions. Additionally, it examined the influence of psychological empowerment on knowledge sharing intentions and underlying processes of transmission via mediating roles of organisational commitment. Empirical results from 263 surveyed academicians show that transformational leadership had a very strong influence on organisational climate in an integral model of knowledge sharing intentions. Furthermore, organisational climate had a positive relationship with psychological empowerment which subsequently influence academics’ knowledge sharing intentions. This study’s results suggest that transformational leaders must be aware of the prominence of both psychological empowerment and organisational commitment in order to augment knowledge sharing internally and externally.
