Impact of Teachers’ Willingness to Share Knowledge on Teamwork Behavior in Shandong Province, China

Abstract

Teamwork is the key to advancing educational innovation to achieve a common goal. Adding a professional title as the background variable, We have proposed and tested the hypotheses in this study according to the fairness heuristic theory. An online survey was conducted to determine the willingness to share knowledge and teamwork behavior of teachers in Shandong universities based on convenience sampling. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS to undertake a descriptive analysis, difference analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. It was shown in the 860 completed questionnaires that different titles have a significantly different effect on teachers’ willingness to share knowledge and that their willingness to share knowledge has a significant and positive impact on their teamwork behavior.
