Study on the Effect of Psychological Contract on Employee Knowledge Sharing in Virtual Platforms

With the rapid development of Internet technology, employee knowledge sharing in virtual platforms plays a crucial role in the innovative development of enterprise. The psychological contract, as a bond of belief between organizations and employees, has been of great concern to the organizational field, and whether it has an impact on employee knowledge sharing in virtual platforms deserves in-depth study. Based on the above considerations, the study applies social exchange theory and reciprocity norms to posit that the fulfillment of employees' psychological contract is conducive to promoting their knowledge sharing in virtual platforms. The questionnaire and data analysis prove that the psychological contract plays a key role in facilitating employees' knowledge sharing in the virtual platform. The evidence shows that psychological ownership plays a partially mediating effect in the positive effect of psychological contracts on employee knowledge sharing, and that employees with a higher degree of openness to experience are more willing to engage in knowledge sharing in virtual platforms
