Abstract:
Purpose: This study seeks to examine the mediating role of knowledge sharing (KNS) in the nexus between leadership behaviours and organizational performance (OP). Design/methodology/approach: Using the survey research design, data were obtained from 335 employees in the Ghanaian financial service sector. Responses were analysed using IBM SPSS (v.23.0), Smart PLS 3.0 and Haye�s (2017) PROCESS macro. Findings: KNS mediated the relationship between leadership behaviours and OP. In addition, transformational leadership behaviour and transactional leadership behaviour positively relate to OP rather than transfor-sactional leadership behaviour. Practical implications: The findings of this study give credence to the disputed notion that KNS plays a significant role in effective leadership behaviours that enhances OP. Originality/value: This paper provides a distinctive approach in examining the interrelationship among leadership behaviours, OP and KNS in the Ghanaian financial service sector. � 2022, Michael Kyei-Frimpong, Isaac Nyarko Adu, Abdul-Razak Suleman and Kwame Owusu Boakye.
