Theory and Hypotheses

Prescott C. Ensign

Chapter 2 in Knowledge Sharing among Scientists, 2009, pp 17-38 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter analyzes extant theory and research on the subject of social mechanisms regulating behavior in resource exchange. The model of reputation and knowledge sharing proposed in chapter 1 is formally developed. Existing literature directs the formulation and exploration of the phenomenon in the present research, that is, exchange of resources in a social environment. From the literature on transactions within a social context, elements for the model are reconciled and explicitly drawn together and three primary hypotheses emerge. It is the restructuring of findings from previous investigations that direct this research.
