2026 Empowering Sustainability: Cultivating Learning and Knowledge Sharing for Employee Retention
abstract
This study aims to test an integrative model incorporating the impact of organizational learning culture on knowledge sharing and job satisfaction and examine their influence on innovation capabilities and employee retention. Moreover, this study investigates the effect of innovation capabilities and employee retention on organizational sustainability performance. Hypotheses are tested through partial least squares (PLS) analysis of survey data collected from 250 employees in call centers within Jordan’s banking and telecommunications sectors. The quantitative data analysis confirms the hypotheses and reveals positive correlations between organizational learning culture, knowledge sharing, and job satisfaction. Moreover, knowledge sharing positively influences job satisfaction and innovation capability. Job satisfaction, in turn, enhances innovation capability and employee retention. Notably, innovation capability and employee retention directly improve sustainability performance. The study underscores the importance of fostering an organizational learning culture, facilitating knowledge sharing, and ensuring employee satisfaction to retain employees, sustain innovative capabilities, and drive sustainability performance.

2022 A Semi-Auto Text Mining Approach for Literature Review: An Example From IT for Entrepreneurship
abstract
The emergence of powerful information technologies (IT) has changed innovation and entrepreneurship in significant ways. Research in IT for entrepreneurship is relatively new and there is a growing interest from academics for further studies on investigating this area of research. This study reviews research carried out in the domain of IT for entrepreneurship. A total of 1005 papers, published between 1980 and 2021 were used to uncover the latent topics addressed in this domain. A topic modeling (LDA) algorithm was used to automate the process of extracting the initial research topics from the data. The results show that IT for entrepreneurship studies are classified into six aspects of research: entrepreneurship initiative and innovation, strategy, business process management and operation management, entrepreneurship education, industry analysis, and business model. The results raise awareness of IT-associated entrepreneurship areas of research, provide useful insights for future research, and informs practice in this domain of study.

2021 Why Would I Share?: The Intention to Use Blogs for Knowledge Sharing According to Gender, Experience, and Cultural Differences
abstract
Blogs are known for their information and knowledge sharing capabilities. Several theoretical frameworks have been proposed to study the factors that influence an individual's intention to use blogs for knowledge sharing. However, factors like content familiarity and design familiarity are lacking in the literature. Hence, this paper aims to extend past studies and investigate the influence of familiarity with blogs in knowledge sharing. Particularly, the purpose of this paper is twofold. The first objective is to explore the effect of familiarity in terms of content familiarity and design familiarity on individual intention to use a blog as a knowledge sharing tool. The second objective is to determine whether familiarity factors change with gender, blog experience, and cultural differences. The results show that content familiarity and design familiarity positively influence an individual's knowledge sharing behavior in blogs. In addition, content familiarity and design familiarity differ according to gender, blog experience, and cultural differences.
