Abstract

Knowledge Sharing is an important means for knowledge generation, accumulation, and innovation of schools and plays a significant role in alleviating teachers’ work pressures and upgrading their professional competence. Personality traits of teachers are key factors relating to their psychology and attitudes towards knowledge sharing. This article draws on the job demands-resources theory to examine how proactive personality affects knowledge sharing among primary and secondary teachers and identify the mediating effect of teacher work engagement and the moderating effect of the organizational innovative climate. The purpose of the study is to provide guidance for schools’ knowledge management and equalization of educational resources.
