Cultural Dynamics and Knowledge-Sharing in Philippine Higher Education: A Multilevel Analysis
Malvin Tabajen et al.
What the paper says
This study examines the cultural dynamics that influence knowledge-sharing in Philippine higher education institutions (HEIs). It addresses the gap in understanding the impact of national, organizational, and local (institutional) cultural factors on educators' intentions to share knowledge. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative analysis via multiple regression and ANOVA with qualitative insights from follow-up interviews. This comprehensive methodology suggests that cultural dimensions, such as power distance and collectivism, have a significant influence on knowledge-sharing intentions. The findings indicate that diminishing power distance and formalizing knowledge-sharing processes enhance the knowledge ecosystem within HEIs. These insights are valuable for educational practitioners, administrators, and policymakers who aspire to cultivate a collaborative and knowledge-rich environment. By customizing strategies to align with local cultural contexts, institutions can enhance teaching, research, and application, thereby advancing the domains of learning and organizational competitiveness.
