Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to determine whether the motivation, trust and technology (ICT) can influence knowledge sharing and innovation capability. The model of this research paper is tested using a sample of 254 managers and owners of dairy farms in Pakistan. Researcher has used simple random sampling technique for the data collection through questionnaires. SMART-PLS, (Partial Least Square) version 3.2.4 is used to analyze the collected data in this research paper. The results show that there is positive relationship between technology, motivation with knowledge sharing and innovation capability. While trust has a positive effect on knowledge sharing and innovation capability, but relationship of trust is insignificant. Therefore, the hypothesis of trust with knowledge sharing and innovation capability is rejected. This research paper has significant managerial implications that innovation capability can be enhanced through information communication technology (ICT), motivation of employee and knowledge sharing.
