| Abstract:
|
Health is perceived to be a part of our everyday life. There are many important factors that correlate positively
with knowledge which should be investigated so as to provide methods to develop and improve knowledgesharing
within the healthcare sector. This study examines the effects of individual factors on knowledge-sharing
behavior in online healthcare communities (OHC) in Amman, Jordan. A cross-sectional survey was utilized in this
study using a self-administered questionnaire by which to collect the data. The total number of usable
questionnaires was 283 with a response rate of 84%. The results indicated that the direct effect of individual
factors (namely, trust, reciprocity, reputation and the ability to share) on knowledge-sharing behavior is statistically
significant. This means that a higher level of these factors would improve the level of knowledge-sharing behavior
among nursing supervisors. Moreover, this study provides guidelines for nursing supervisors with regard to
adopting and aligning individual factors in order to improve the knowledge-sharing behaviors in online healthcare
communities in private hospitals in Jordan
