Abstract:
Study investigated the association between Human Resource
Management practices and knowledge sharing in private sector
banking organizations in Sri Lanka. The method of exploratory factor
analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were employed to evaluate
the reliability and validity of the measurement model. The structural
equation modeling (SEM) method was applied to examine the
theoretical framework. Overall empirical findings indicate that HRM
practices with the moderate impact of organizational culture and
organization-based trust have a significant positive impact on
knowledge sharing as perceived by the executive and above grade
employees of private sector banking organizations in Sri Lanka. The
sample data collected for this study have only focused on private sector
banking organizations. Future research may consider collecting data
from different industries in both service and manufacturing sectors for
a more comprehensive study. Findings from this study should be
beneficial for HRM managers in developing countries such as Sri
Lanka, who plan to develop competitive knowledge sharing
competencies through the adoption of HRM practices.
