Knowledge sharing among medical teachers: the interplay between personality and the theory of planned behavior.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionKnowledge sharing is critical to the quality of medical education and healthcare services. However, medical teachers encounter multiple barriers, such as content dispersion and a lack of shared knowledge management. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), this study aimed to (1) assess the predictive power of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in explaining knowledge-sharing intention and behavior among medical teachers and (2) examine the moderating effect of the Big Five personality traits on the relationship between knowledge-sharing intention and behavior.
methodsThis cross-sectional correlational study involved a sample of 237 medical teachers from Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Iran, who completed two validated and reliable questionnaires: a researcher-developed TPB questionnaire and a personality questionnaire developed by Rammstedt and John (2007). Data were collected in 2024 and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).
resultsStructural equation modeling analysis, conducted using SmartPLS 3, revealed that knowledge-sharing intention was significantly influenced by perceived behavioral control (β = 0.37, p < 0.001), attitude (β = 0.24, p < 0.001), and subjective norms (β = 0.28, p < 0.001). Additionally, knowledge-sharing behavior was significantly predicted by knowledge-sharing intention (β = 0.20, p < 0.001) and perceived behavioral control (β = 0.12, p < 0.01). Among the Big Five personality traits, only conscientiousness significantly moderated the knowledge-sharing intention-behavior relationship (β = 0.41, p < 0.001).
conclusionBy integrating the Five-Factor Model of personality into TPB, this study demonstrated that TPB is a suitable framework for predicting knowledge-sharing behavior among medical teachers. Furthermore, it revealed that personality traits, particularly conscientiousness, may mediate the relationship between knowledge-sharing intention and behavior. These findings have practical implications for medical administrators in designing effective systems and interventions to enhance knowledge sharing among academics.
