Abstract

With the current technological advancement and the competitiveness of global markets especially with the shift to renewable energy, oil and gas companies need to double their effort to overcome the challenges. Thus, engineers in the oil and gas sector should increase their job performance to that effect. Knowledge sharing is one of the major ways through which the knowledge and skills of engineers will be upgraded and eventually increase their job performance. Therefore, this study critically reviews the term knowledge sharing and the factors that affect knowledge sharing. It also reviews some factors that influence engineers’ intention towards knowledge sharing in oil and gas firms. It identifies some knowledge sharing enablers such as a knowledge-sharing culture in an organization, human network, social relationship and trust among knowledge sharers and receivers. On the other hand, it identifies some barriers to knowledge sharing such as fear of not receiving enough recognition, lack of proper awareness regarding knowledge sharing and its benefits, lack of trust, differences in the cultural environment, lack of communication skills, lack of time, lack of interest, lack of social networks and lack of motivation are of concern, lack of technological facilities. The paper identifies attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control as elements that could influence engineers’ intention towards knowledge sharing in the oil and gas sector. Finally, the paper makes some recommendations on how to effectively share knowledge among engineers in the oil and gas industry.

Abstract

Knowledge sharing among employees has been identified as one of the factors that contribute to improved job performance. Thus, this study examines the relationship between engineer’s perceived enjoyment, perceived status and subjective norm on their intention towards knowledge sharing in public oil and gas firms in Iraq. The study selects 240 engineers from oil and gas companies in Iraq to participate in the research. A questionnaire designed in a Likert scale format was used for the data collection. The data were analysed using descriptive statistical analysis and Correlation analysis. The results of the analysis show that there is a positive relation between engineer’s perceived enjoyment, perceived status and subjective norm on their intention towards knowledge sharing in public oil and gas firms in Iraq. The paper makes some recommendations on how to increase engineers’ perceived enjoyment, perceived status and subjective norm and eventually increase intention towards knowledge sharing.

Abstract

To enhance the job performance of engineers in the oil and gas sector, their knowledge and skills should be constantly updated through knowledge sharing. Perceived behavioural control and attitude have been identified as factors that contribute to effective knowledge sharing among employees. However, very little is known about perceived behavioural control and attitude toward knowledge sharing in the Iraqi oil and gas sector. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between engineer’s perceived behavioural control and attitude on their intention towards knowledge sharing in public oil and gas firms in Iraq. To participate in the study, 240 engineers from oil and gas companies in Iraq were randomly selected. A questionnaire designed in a Likert scale format was used for the data collection. The data were analysed using descriptive statistical analysis and Correlation analysis. The results of the analysis show that there is a positive relation between engineer’s perceived behavioural control and attitude on their intention towards knowledge sharing in public oil and gas firms in Iraq. The study makes some recommendations on how to increase engineers’ perceived behavioural control and attitude and eventually increase their intention towards knowledge sharing.
