It can lead to increased knowledge creation, collaboration level, and level of innovation, which, in turn, increases organizational performances. However, few studies have empirically examined the effect of knowledge sharing activities on an individual's belief in a public sector organizational setting, especially in Indonesia. This study was conducted to analyze the role of knowledge sharing in affecting the activities of creative self-efficacy within public organizations. This study used purposive sampling which designed to focus on employees who have positioned as a researcher in one of Directorate of Ministry of Public Works and Housing of the Republic of Indonesia. The questionnaire used in this study was adapted from Brockhus and Yu instruments. The result of this study shows that there is a positive and significant effect of knowledge sharing activities on creative self-efficacy. The higher the level of knowledge sharing activities within the organization, the more it will encourage creative self- efficacy. The majority of the respondent in this study that classified as Y generation (Millenials) was the main reason of the differences between the conclusion of this study and previous ones who argues that knowledge sharing initiatives are more difficult to be implemented in public sector organization as many of public sector officers believe that the activities of knowledge sharing meant losing power and an extra work surface.

The knowledge that needs to be managed by the organization is tacit and explicit knowledge which comes from individual employees then utilized as organizational knowledge. Awareness of the importance of knowledge as a strategic asset will motivate the organization, both public and private organizations, to improve their knowledge through management practices (Ahbabi et al., 2017). The idea of practicing knowledge management is following the integrated knowledge management cycle developed by Koenig (2011). The first phase in the knowledge management cycle is how captured the knowledge from individuals or groups within the organization. The next phase is to share the captured knowledge with individuals or groups in the organization (knowledge sharing). The final stage in this phase is to summarize the value and the effect of the shared knowledge to be applied in the organization. Ibrahim & Heng (2017) and Tung (2018) added that a recent study found that knowledge sharing has an important role and tends to be the core of competence in knowledge management in achieving competitive advantage. Knowledge sharing in organizations can be done either by individuals or groups. The practice of knowledge sharing in organizations is considered to be able to encourage innovation, organizational learning, and the development of the skills and abilities of individual employees, and ultimately can increase organizational productivity (Islam et al., 2018). The culture in sharing knowledge within the organization is important in avoiding the loss of knowledge or the accumulation of knowledge in one employee (Becker & Zirpoli, 2017). Knowledge loss can occur if the only employee who has certain knowledge leaves the organization. While the accumulation of knowledge occurs if there are employees who don’t want to share the knowledge, which can occur due to several things, such as the absence of rewards, or even don’t want other people to understand more than themselves. Regarding the challenges in implementing knowledge sharing activities in different sector such as the private and public sector, Amayah (2013) argues that knowledge sharing initiatives are more difficult to be implemented in public sector organizations. The fear of losing control/power (Park & Gabbard, 2018), the anxiety of losing promotion (Donnelly, 2019), less incentive for efficiency, the complexity of organization goals (Amayah, 2013), trust and leadership (Seba et al., 2012; Alsharo et al., 2017), bureaucratic culture (Wulf & Butel, 2016; Hendryadi et al., 2019), and extra-works perception (Yao et al., 2007; Afshar Jalili & Salemipour, 2019) is the JEMA: Jurnal Ilmiah Bidang Akuntansi dan Manajemen, 17(2) 2020, 121-134 http://dx.doi.org/10.31106/jema.v17i2.6686, ISSN (Online) 2597-4017 123 several reasons of why public sector officers tend to resist to build a knowledge-sharing culture. Besides that reason, an individual issue such as personality traits (Agyemang et al., 2016; Borges et al., 2019), motivational factors (Andreeva & Sergeeva, 2016; Nguyen et al., 2019), creative self-efficacy (Wu et al., 2012; Teng et al., 2019) also considered to influences the adoption of knowledge sharing. Puente-Díaz (2016) added that not only that creativity has highly correlated with the level of innovation, creativity also play important role in helping an organization achieving the outcomes target. Prior creative self-efficacy study has focused on the relationships between individual attributes and innovation behavior. However, few studies have empirically examined the effect of knowledge sharing activities in a public sector organizational setting on an individual's belief, especially in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of the activities of knowledge sharing within public organizations towards creative self-efficacy. Literature Review Creative Self-Efficacy In social cognitive theory, Cabrera et al. (2006) argue that a person's behavior is governed extensively by the exercise of self-influence that is sustainable, or what is known as self-efficacy. Hardaningtyas (2020) defined self-efficacy as individual beliefs and confidence in his/her ability to execute and finish the task. Self-efficacy concerns a person's belief in his ability to control their level of function and all the experiences that affect their lives. In conclusion, self-efficacy is considered a more central and widespread mechanism of self- regulation (Naotunna & Zhou, 2018). Furthermore, Pradesa et al. (2019) added that the more confident employees about their ability to do a task, the more dedicated they become to their jobs. Tierney & Farmer (2011) then develops the concept of creative self-efficacy which is rooted in the concept of self-efficacy. Creative self-efficacy relates to a series of results that provide benefits, including the development and implementation of ideas (Newman et al., 2018). Creative self-efficacy is based on employee confidence in solving problems in innovative ways. In the process of innovation, there are many obstacles to be handled, so psychological capital is needed to deal with uncertainty and failure (Hu & Zhao, 2016). Creative self-efficacy has a role in innovation by increasing self-confidence, where someone considers their ability to complete the tasks and activities by this process (Hsu et al., 2011). Thus, confidence in the ability of creative thinking is the essence of creative performance which in turn allows the individual to face the challenge of effectively and efficiently Knowledge sharing activities among public sector employees: Evidence from Indonesia by Metha Djuwita Supriatna 124 (Alotaibi, 2016). Employees with high creative self-efficacy make them strong and persistent in achieving creative targets amidst the difficulties faced, even creative self-efficacy is found as a variable that can foster creativity (Gong et al., 2009). Knowledge Sharing The concept of knowledge classifies knowledge into two categories, tacit and explicit. Explicit knowledge is the knowledge that has been codified, documented. While tacit knowledge is the knowledge that is in the minds of humans, which will only be in someone's mind until someone else asks. Between these two forms of knowledge, tacit knowledge is valued as more knowledge than explicit knowledge, and it is important to capture and serve as organizational knowledge. Polanyi (1966) also believes that all knowledge is rooted in tacit knowledge. Knowledge sharing is in the second stage of the knowledge management cycle which is between the capture and application of important knowledge. Knowledge sharing involves the exchange of knowledge, experience, skills between employees through socialization, interaction, and training (Ibrahim & Heng, 2017). Lin (2007) defined knowledge sharing as the efforts to transform individual knowledge within an organization to enhance business performances. Furthermore, Knowledge sharing is defined as a process of interaction/social activity, which allows members in the organization to acquire tacit and explicit knowledge with each other, so that there is a transfer of knowledge from the source of knowledge to the recipient of knowledge (Koenig, 2011; Malik & Kanwal, 2018). As employees become increasingly involved in knowledge sharing, they will internalize a greater amount of knowledge (Yu et al., 2013). Knowledge sharing allows a variety of important things to happen, such as the creation of new knowledge (Veer Ramjeawon & Rowley, 2017), work efficiency (Ali & Yusof, 2004; Dwivedi et al., 2020), increasing the level of innovation (Huang & Li, 2009; Markovic & Bagherzadeh, 2018), and reduce unnecessary efforts (Monica Hu et al., 2009). The practice of sharing knowledge can avoid the occurrence of 'corporate amnesia', which is caused by the loss of knowledge possessed by the organization, for example, due to the release of people who have certain knowledge from the organization and have not had time to share it with others. Bock et al. (2005) stated that there are several factors which are considered to encourage knowledge-sharing accordingly, (1) the existence of individual benefits, related to individual interests and getting personal interests, (2) the existence of group benefits, such as sharing behavior, relationships with others, and related to community interests, (3) the existence of organizational benefits, i.e. organization and increase JEMA: Jurnal Ilmiah Bidang Akuntansi dan Manajemen, 17(2) 2020, 121-134 http://dx.doi.org/10.31106/jema.v17i2.6686, ISSN (Online) 2597-4017 125 organizational commitment. Furthermore, Koenig (2011) added that management support, technology, and organizational culture has a significant impact on knowledge sharing. The Relationship Between Knowledge Sharing and Creative Self-Efficacy Although Amayah (2013) argues that knowledge sharing initiatives are more difficult to be implemented in public sector organization due to several reasons such as the fear of losing control/power (Park & Gabbard, 2018), the anxiety of losing promotion (Liebowitz & Megbolugbe, 2003; Donnelly, 2019), trust and leadership (Seba et al., 2012; Alsharo et al., 2017), bureaucratic culture (Wulf & Butel, 2016; Hendryadi et al., 2019), and extra-works perception (Yao et al., 2007; Afshar Jalili & Salemipour, 2019). A previous study from Hu & Zhao (2016) has a clear conclusion that there was a significant link between knowledge sharing and creative self-efficacy. Therefore, the hypotheses in this study are formulated as follows. H1: There is a significant relationship between knowledge sharing and creative self- efficacy within public sector organizations. Methods The study design employed in this study was mainly descriptive. A survey-based methodology was employed through a five-point Likert scale questionnaire to elicit the effect of knowledge sharing activities on creative self-efficacy. This study used purposive sampling which designed to focus on employees who have positioned as a researcher in one of the Directorate of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing of the Republic of Indonesia, with total respondents were 94 researchers. Figure 1. Research Framework . The fifteen instruments of Brockhus et al. (2014) were used to measured creative self- efficacy. While to measure knowledge sharing, the six instruments of Yu et al. (2013) were used in this study. Table 1 shows detailed information about the item of this study. Then, to check the validity and reliability of instruments, the value of the Pearson Correlation and Cronbach’s Alpha was employed as the parameter criterion. Regression analysis was used in this study to test the effect of knowledge sharing activities on creative self-efficacy. Table 2 shows the detailed information about validity and reliability results. The instrument item is declared valid and reliable when the counted value (Pearson Correlation and Cronbach's Knowledge Sharing (KS) Creative Self-Efficacy (CSE) Knowledge sharing activities among public sector employees: Evidence from Indonesia by Metha Djuwita Supriatna 126 Alpha) is more than 0.300 and 0.600. Therefore, based on the description of Table 2, it can be concluded that all item measured in this study is valid and reliable. Table 1.

While the majority of the respondent in Knowledge sharing activities among public sector employees: Evidence from Indonesia by Metha Djuwita Supriatna 128 this study can be described as male (71%) with most of them hold Master Degree education (83%). Table 3. Hypotheses Testing Hypotheses t-Value t-Table Criteria Sig. Sig. Criteria Decision H1 KS -> CSE 5.458 > 1.687 0.000 < 0.005 Accepted An independent sample t-test was employed in this study to test the proposed hypotheses whether knowledge sharing influences creative self-efficacy. Table 3 shows that the value of t-tested was 5.458 (which is higher than the value of t-statistics 1.687) with a significant value of 0.000 (which is lower than the significances criteria of 0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that H1 of this study was accepted, which means that there is a positive and significant relationship between knowledge sharing (KS) and creative self-efficacy (CSE). The higher the level of knowledge sharing activities within the organization, the more it will encourage creative self-efficacy. This result of this study supports a previous study conducted by Hu & Zhao (2016) that stated that there was a significant effect between knowledge sharing and creative self- efficacy. The majority of the respondent in this study that classified as Y generation (Millenials) was the main reason of the differences between the conclusion of this study and previous ones who argues that knowledge sharing initiatives are more difficult to be implemented in public sector organization as many of public sector officers believe that the activities of knowledge sharing meant losing power and an extra work surface. McHenry & Ash (2013) support the argument by stating that rather than X generation that likely to be more worried about competition, potential job loss, and the lack of incentives to share, Y generation (Millenials) are more adaptive to challenges and cultural differences, didn’t like to plan for long periods, multitasking, open-minded, needy for feedback, and easy to collaborate (Bencsik et al., 2016). The nature of respondents in this study that classified as researchers also considered having an important role in affecting the knowledge sharing on creative self-efficacy. A qualified researcher should be open minded and have a willingness to share knowledge with their co-researcher to produce a better result of research. Tang & Kaufman (2017) and Srikoon et al. (2018) added that the creativity of thinking (uniqueness) was one of the personal characteristics of researchers that can enhance self-perceived creativity and creative motivation. The level of creative self-efficacy can increase significantly by implementing JEMA: Jurnal Ilmiah Bidang Akuntansi dan Manajemen, 17(2) 2020, 121-134 http://dx.doi.org/10.31106/jema.v17i2.6686, ISSN (Online) 2597-4017 129 knowledge sharing. A previous study from Jen et al. (2020) and Hu et al. (2020) concluded that the activities of knowledge sharing like mentoring and collaboration prove significantly can enhance the level of creative confidence of employees. Conclusion and Suggestion Unlike, the prior study that claims that knowledge sharing activities are rarely to be found in public sector organizations rather than in private sectors due to several reasons. The result of this study concluded the opposite. There is a positive and significant relationship between knowledge sharing (KS) and creative self-efficacy (CSE) within a public organizational setting. The activities of knowledge sharing like mentoring and collaboration prove significantly affect the level of creative self-efficacy of public sector officers which means that the higher the level of knowledge sharing activities within the organization, the more it will encourage creative self-efficacy. The majority of the respondent in this study that classified as Y generation (millennial) considered as the main reason of the differences between the conclusion of this study and previous ones who argues that there are many of public sector officers believes that the activities of knowledge sharing will cause them negative impact such as losing power, losing an opportunity, and an extra work surface. Also, the respondent criterion of this study that classified as researchers affect the relationship of knowledge sharing toward creative self-efficacy as they have to be compelled to do knowledge sharing activities and collaborate with their co-researcher to produce the better result of research.
