Purpose

The purpose of this study is to review the role of knowledge-sharing and its association with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). TPB is the most used theory in understanding knowledge-sharing behavior in many contexts.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on the bibliometric approach, this study extracted and analyzed 229 journal articles on the Web of Science. In addition, two analyses (bibliographic coupling and co-word) were performed to provide science mapping in presenting the knowledge structure on the present and future research direction on knowledge-sharing and TPB.

Findings

The findings of this study suggest that two stand-out clusters are determinants and antecedents of knowledge-sharing behavior based on TPB and the role of the virtual platform and social media in facilitating knowledge-sharing among users.

Research limitations/implications

This study will benefit researchers and scholars in studying individual behavioral traits underpinning TPB in achieving organizational excellence.

Originality/value

This study extends the findings of the previous review because of their limitations on methods. This study confirms the determinants of knowledge-sharing intention and behavior. However, this study suggests integrating TPB with other theories to provide more insights into knowledge-sharing behavior and use online and technology-based platforms to facilitate knowledge-sharing behavior.

知识共享和计划行为理论：文献计量分析

目的

本研究的目的是回顾知识共享的作用及其与计划行为理论（TPB）的关联。TPB 是在许多情况下理解知识共享行为时最常用的理论。

设计/方法论/途径

本研究基于文献计量方法，提取并分析了 Web of Science 上的 229 篇期刊文章。此外，还进行了两项分析（书目耦合和共词），以提供科学映射，以呈现知识共享和TPB当前和未来研究方向的知识结构。

发现

本研究的结果表明，两个突出的集群是基于 TPB 的知识共享行为的决定因素和前因，以及虚拟平台和社交媒体在促进用户之间知识共享方面的作用。

研究局限性/影响

这项研究将有利于研究人员和学者研究支撑 TPB 实现组织卓越的个人行为特征。

原创性/价值

由于方法的局限性，本研究扩展了先前综述的发现。这项研究证实了知识共享意图和行为的决定因素。然而，本研究建议将TPB与其他理论相结合，以提供对知识共享行为的更多见解，并使用在线和基于技术的平台来促进知识共享行为。
