The success of knowledge sharing within an organization begins with individual cooperation. HR professionals implement their process to recruit and select an employee who is competent and fit. This current study aims to examine the relationship between proactive personality and knowledge sharing in the organization. The mediating role of work engagement will be investigated. The moderating roles of social media usage and perceived organizational support have also been highlighted. Data was collected from 620 participants in eight commercial airlines in Thailand. Data was analyzed using SmartPLS software. The results reveal that proactive personality positively influences knowledge sharing. Perceived organizational support negatively moderates the relationship between proactive personality and knowledge sharing. On the other hand, work engagement does not significantly play a mediating role. Media usage does not moderate the relationship of the relationship. These findings provided valuable insight for human resource management in the organization to enhance HR management system. Furthermore, it indicated the negative effect of perceived organizational support in the organization, which has not been examined in the literature.

Sukces dzielenia się wiedzą w organizacji zaczyna się od indywidualnej współpracy. Specjaliści HR wdrażają proces rekrutacji i wyboru pracownika kompetentnego i sprawnego. Niniejsze badanie ma na celu zbadanie związku między proaktywną osobowością a dzieleniem się wiedzą w organizacji. Zbadana zostanie mediacyjna rola zaangażowania w pracę. Podkreślono także moderującą rolę korzystania z mediów społecznościowych oraz postrzeganego wsparcia organizacyjnego. Dane zebrano od 620 uczestników w ośmiu komercyjnych liniach lotniczych w Tajlandii. Dane analizowano przy użyciu oprogramowania SmartPLS. Wyniki pokazują, że proaktywna osobowość pozytywnie wpływa na dzielenie się wiedzą. Zaś postrzegane wsparcie organizacyjne negatywnie moderuje związek pomiędzy proaktywną osobowością a dzieleniem się wiedzą. Z drugiej strony zaangażowanie w pracę nie odgrywa znaczącej roli mediacyjnej. Korzystanie z mediów nie moderuje związku między proaktywną osobowością a dzieleniem się wiedzą. Wyniki te dostarczają cennych spostrzeżeń dla zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi w organizacji ukierunkowanego na ulepszenie systemu zarządzania personelem. Ponadto wskazują na negatywny wpływ postrzeganego wsparcia organizacyjnego w organizacji, co dotychczas nie było badane w literaturze.
