| Sumario: | <p id="p1">This study aimed to explore the mechanism of knowledge sharing as a solution to utilizing individual knowledge that is still untapped, such as user innovation. Prior research has indicated a positive relationship between knowledge sharing and well-being. This study examined participants’ motivation and well-being and compared two types of participants: income-oriented individuals (workers) and hobby-oriented individuals (hobbyists). A questionnaire survey investigated the differences between these two groups in terms of their motivation to engage in knowledge sharing (RQ1) and whether there were disparities in their levels of well-being (RQ2). I found that workers exhibited significantly higher altruism levels as motivation for participating in knowledge sharing, in addition to monetary rewards, compared to hobbyists. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the levels of well-being between the two groups. Overall, this study demonstrates that individuals can improve their well-being by using their knowledge and experience to support others, regardless of whether it is related to income, hobbies, or personal enjoyment.</p> |
