The purpose of this study is to investigate the moderating effect of knowledge sharing willingness on job self-efficacy and work engagement. Previous studies pointed out that job self-efficacy is a standard of individual judgement. This is capable for newcomers to complete a task efficiently and can be regarded as an individual resource. The fact of lacking this resource could result newcomers in low engagement in work. Therefore, many enterprises arrange mentors to better assist newcomers to integrate into the organization. The willingness of a mentor to share his/her is a key factor for a newcomer to gain resources, such as knowledge, mental support and professional identity. This study assumes three perspectives: (a) The higher the job self-efficacy of newcomers is, the deeper they are engaged to work. (b) Mentors willing to share knowledge leads to high work engagement of newcomers. (c) Mentors' willingness to share knowledge could promote work involvement for newcomers with low job self-efficacy. A total of 159 valid samples were collected by using the scenario approach, and the two-way analysis of variance was applied. The results revealed that for newcomers with low job self-efficacy, knowledge sharing willingness will strengthen the positive relationship between job self-efficacy and work engagement. Therefore, we suggest organization to value and improve mentorship. By implementing mentorship system, the bonds could be strengthened between seniors and newcomers. |
