Description
Summary:This study aims to identify and define the relationships among knowledge sharing, innovative work behaviour, and ethical climate. We examine the mediating role of ethical climate in knowledge sharing and innovative business behaviour based on a case study of a Turkish cement factory with 495 employees. A hierarchal regression results demonstrated that a low egoist, benevolence, and principled climate played positive partial mediating roles between knowledge sharing and innovative work behaviour. The results provide an original theoretical framework for organisations that aim to develop innovative behaviours among employees.
