目的本研究旨在探讨内在动机和外在动机对知识共享的影响，以及个体人口统计学特征、组织背景和文化背景在这种关系中的调节作用。设计/方法/方式-本研究进行了一项荟萃分析44项研究，涉及14,023名参与者，探讨知识共享的动机的直接和调节作用。结果-结果显示，外在和内在的动机因素与更高水平的知识共享，而效果更强的内在动机。此外，研究结果显示，大量的变异解释了调节变量。进一步的调查显示，（年龄，性别），组织背景（组织环境与开放系统，IT基础设施）和文化背景（集体主义，不确定性规避，绩效导向，权力距离）调节的动机和知识共享relationship.Originality/value尽管越来越多的研究强调的重要作用，动机在预测知识共享，证据是混合的。基于元分析，本研究确定了真实的关系，并确定了调节效应，有助于解释先前的混合结果。
Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on knowledge sharing and the moderating effects of individual demographics, organizational context and cultural context in that relationship. Design/methodology/approach This study conducted a meta-analysis of 44 studies involving 14,023 participants to examine the direct and moderating effects of motivation on knowledge sharing. Findings Results revealed that both extrinsic and intrinsic motivational factors were associated with higher levels of knowledge sharing, while the effect was stronger for intrinsic motivation. Moreover, results revealed that substantial variance was explained by moderating variables. Further investigation revealed that individual characteristics (age, gender), organizational context (organizational setting vs. open system, IT infrastructure) and cultural context (collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, performance orientation, power distance) moderated the motivation and knowledge sharing relationship.Originality/value Despite a growing number of studies highlighting the important role of motivation in predicting knowledge sharing, the evidence is mixed. Based on a meta-analysis, this study identified true relationships and identified moderating effects that help explain prior mixed results.
