We seek to explore the interplay between perceived training opportunities (PTOs) and knowledge sharing in the context of the emerging economic setting of the United Arab Emirates. We also examined the moderating role of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and engagement in social interaction on the relationship between PTOs and knowledge sharing. The study employed a survey method to collect the data, and tested the proposed hypotheses by using the partial structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique. Data is based on 815 responses across all sectors in the country context of the UAE. Our findings indicate that PTOs are positively related to knowledge sharing. Notably, the results show that the proposed relationship between PTOs and knowledge sharing is negatively and significantly moderated by intrinsic motivation. Moreover, the moderating role of extrinsic motivation and engagement in social interaction were insignificant. At a theoretical level, this article provides an individual level analysis, which indicates that PTOs pave the way for intraorganizational knowledge sharing; hence, they offer insights into the mechanisms in which PTOs impact on knowledge sharing. This article also contributes to our general understanding on human resource management (HRM) practices and knowledge sharing in the context of the emerging economy of the UAE; the latter has a number of implications for both, theory and practice as delineated in this study.

可感知的培训机会和知识共享：阿拉伯联合酋长国为例

我们力图探索在阿拉伯联合酋长国新兴的经济环境下感知的培训机会（PTO）与知识共享之间的相互作用。我们还研究了内在动力和外在动力以及参与在PTO与知识共享之间的社会互动中的调节作用。该研究采用调查方法收集数据，并使用部分结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）技术验证了提出的假设。数据基于阿联酋国家/地区中所有部门的815条回复。我们的发现表明，PTO与知识共享正相关。值得注意的是，结果表明，PTO与知识共享之间的拟议关系受到内在动机的负面影响和明显缓解。此外，外在动机和参与在社会互动中的调节作用微不足道。从理论上讲，本文提供了个人层面的分析，这表明PTO为组织内部的知识共享铺平了道路。因此，他们提供了有关PTO影响知识共享的机制的见解。本文还有助于我们对阿联酋新兴经济背景下的人力资源管理（HRM）做法和知识共享的一般理解；后者对本研究中所描述的理论和实践都有许多影响。这表明PTO为组织内部的知识共享铺平了道路；因此，他们提供了有关PTO影响知识共享的机制的见解。本文还有助于我们对阿联酋新兴经济背景下的人力资源管理（HRM）做法和知识共享的一般理解；后者对本研究中所描述的理论和实践都有许多影响。这表明PTO为组织内部的知识共享铺平了道路；因此，他们提供了有关PTO影响知识共享的机制的见解。本文还有助于我们对阿联酋新兴经济背景下的人力资源管理（HRM）做法和知识共享的一般理解；正如本研究中所描述的，后者对理论和实践都有许多影响。
