Abstract

This study used a quantitative analysis to investigate the impact of social capital (SC) on knowledge sharing (KS) behavior. The research was conducted with a convenience sample, and data were collected through a self- survey questionnaire distributed to a sample of 84 employees working at CRBt, Constantine, in Algeria. Reliability test was assessed by (α = 0.888). Collected data were analyzed with SPSS, and linear regressions analyses were used to test the hypotheses. Results revealed that social capital is moderately correlated with knowledge sharing. Hence, the findings showed that in general, the level of social capital in CRBt is considered to be moderately effective for enhancing knowledge sharing process. The main hypothesis of the empirical study was confirmed and supported, which predicted a significant relationship between SC and KS (r = 0.540, significant at the 0.001 level). In addition, the three sub-hypotheses predicted significant relationships between knowledge sharing and the dimensions of social capital. Therefore, Implications of the research and recommendations for further research have been reflected upon.
