Abstract
This paper investigates the antecedents of knowledge sharing behaviour and intentions of students in the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria using the Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences (FCIS) as a case study. The methodology adopted for this study was a survey research design, using a validated questionnaire to collect data. Findings revealed that knowledge sharing intentions and subjective norm contributed positively and significantly to knowledge sharing behaviour of students; while perceived behavioural control and attitudes made no significant contribution. On the other hand, this study revealed that attitude made the highest significant contribution to knowledge sharing intentions, while subjective norm and perceived behavioural control made no significant contribution to knowledge sharing intention. In conclusion, recommendations were made towards improving knowledge sharing intentions and behaviour among students in the study locale.
