Abstract

This study aims to explore how knowledge sharing influences employees’ work engagement through the mediating effect of job creativity and to verify the moderating roles of psychological safety and perceived organizational support in this process. By performing regression analysis and testing mediation and moderation effects on survey data collected from 300 employees across various organizations, the results show that knowledge sharing significantly enhances job creativity, thereby indirectly promoting work engagement. Additionally, psychological safety positively moderates the impact of knowledge sharing on job creativity, while perceived organizational support positively moderates the effect of job creativity on work engagement. These findings underscore the importance of knowledge sharing in enhancing employee work engagement and highlight the critical roles of psychological safety and organizational support in fostering this process. This study provides valuable guidance for organizational management practices, recommending that organizations improve employees’ psychological safety and perceived organizational support to maximize the utility of knowledge sharing.
