Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between knowledge sharing
behaviour and the demographic variables gender, age, organisational tenure and professional
tenure. Following a correlational survey approach, the study sourced its data from senior
secondary school teachers in and around Gaborone, Botswana. Knowledge sharing behaviour
was measured using an instrument sourced from the extant literature. No statistically
significant relationship was detected between knowledge sharing behaviour and gender,
age, or professional tenure. Only organisational tenure weakly negatively correlated with
knowledge sharing behaviour. Thus, according to these findings, demographic variables do
not appear to be important determinants of knowledge sharing behaviour.
