Abstract

Existing research on knowledge management has verified the critical influence of knowledge sharing on employees’ innovative behaviours. However, the underlying mechanism of how knowledge sharing can foster innovation-related behaviours is still less clear. This study aims to explore how employees’ innovative knowledge sharing can impact their innovative behaviours, with a focus on the mediating role of thriving at work. Using an online survey, data were collected from 547 full-time employees working in mainland China. The results supported a mediation model, showing that workers’ innovative knowledge sharing positively affected their sense of thriving at work, which in turn was positively associated with their innovation behaviours. The practical implications of this study are also discussed.
