Abstract

According to related literatures, there are many empirical studies on the influence of organizational factors on the effect of ISSP. However, researches seldom concerned the influence of knowledge sharing behavior of chief information officer (CIO) on the quality of the ISSP process from the perspective of knowledge management. Based on literature review, this research aims to base on theory of reasoned action (TRA) and probe into the influence of CIO’s knowledge sharing behavior on the quality of the ISSP process by empirical research method. The research subjects were CIOs of top 1000 firms in Taiwan, and questionnaire survey was carried out to validate the efficacy of research hypotheses by structural equation modeling. The result demonstrated that CIO’s knowledge sharing behavior reveals direct and significant influence on the quality of the ISSP process. The current research findings can provide important criteria for firms to promote ISSP in the e-business era.

Key words: Chief information officer, knowledge-sharing behavior, IS/IT strategic planning, theory of reasoned action.
