ABSTRACT The aim of the current research is to examine the effect of trust-based collaboration and idealized transformational leadership to the knowledge sharing. It also examined the effect of contingent reward transactional leadership to trust-based collaboration and knowledge sharing. Data used in the current research are primary ones derived from questionnaires distributed to selected respondents. All lecturers of private universities in Central Java Indonesia having A qualification in institutional accreditation are the population. The sample is part of the population. Sampling technique used is non probability sampling, not all population has the same opportunity to be sample. The reason is that population is homogeneous in nature. The sample analysed is 162 respondents. The research finding indicates that idealized influence transformational leadership positively affects to trust-based collaboration. Trust-based collaboration has a positive effect on knowledge sharing. The research fails proving the effect of contingent reward transactional leadership to trust-based collaboration and knowledge sharing. Thus, the current research contributes to literature concerning the importance of trust-based collaboration in increasing knowledge sharing. The study is the first study examining the role of trustbased collaboration to the relationship between idealized influence transformational leadership and knowledge sharing. Trust-based collaboration is the novelty of the research, that is derivation of the two theories. The finding strengthens one of main flows in literature and gives more empirical evidence about the relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing that the relationship between the two is indirect in nature.

INTRODUCTION Knowledge is one of importantly intangible resources owned by organization. It can contribute to the gaining of competitive advantage. It is in line with (J. Chen et al., 2016) that knowledge is a pivotal resource for organization to develop competitive advantage in dynamic and competitive organization environment. In the context, knowledge management will be important for an organization (Davenport et al., 2003). One important thing in knowledge management is knowledge sharing. Knowledge sharing is a component and important step in knowledge management (Mansoori et al., 2012). It is supported by (Du et al., 2007) that knowledge sharing constitutes one of important process of knowledge management referring to knowledge communication, experience and skill of employees in group or organization. Knowledge sharing not only gives opportunity to maximize organizational capability to meet its need but also creates effective solution to gain competitive advantage (Reid, 2003). Considering the pivotal role of knowledge sharing in organization, knowing factors supporting knowledge sharing will be urgent. To promote knowledge sharing behavior, the next research is important to conduct concerning the role of factors, such as: leader characteristics, social network, social cost, trust, culture, etc. (S. Wang & Noe, 2010). The current research observes the effect of leader characteristics on knowledge sharing. A leader is main determinant of many importantly organizational outputs. He also has decision making role in all organization activities. Based on literature review, transformational leadership constitutes one of the most effective leadership (Thomson et al., 2016). One of dimensions of transformational leadership is idealized influence. Characteristics of idealized influence transformational leadership is that a leader is as role model. He is respected and trusted. Besides, he prioritizes the collective interest beyond individual one. (Al-husseini & Elbeltagi, 2018) found that idealized influence transformational leadership positively affects to knowledge sharing. A leader showing the behavior has capability to give added value to institution activities, through creating, sharing, codifying, and integrating knowledge. Transformational leadership using the dimension is able to build trusted-based culture. In such culture, sharing knowledge will be conducive. Beside transformational leadership, transactional leadership also has effect to knowledge sharing. (L. Y. Chen & Barnes, 2006) investigates the effect of transactional leadership on knowledge sharing in professional service firms in Taiwan and US. Research finding shows that contingent reward transactional leadership significantly affects to internal and external knowledge sharing. (Bradshaw et al., 2015) conducts research about transactional leadership. The finding indicates that contingent reward dimension positively affects to two dimensions of knowledge sharing. In the research, contingent reward transactional leadership has effect as big as transformational leadership has. The result supports the recently theoretical development of (Vera & Crossan, 2004) proposing contingent approach to leadership and knowledge sharing. Wholly, the research finding shows that both transformational and transactional leadership are important for knowledge sharing process. Creation of successful knowledge sharing is how well a manager combines the behavior of transformational and transactional leadership. Based on previous research findings about the relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing, it is known that there are many different findings. Some of research findings find that transformational leadership has positive effect to knowledge sharing (Akpotu & Tamunosiki-Amadi, 2013); (Al-husseini & Elbeltagi, 2018); (Allameh et al., 2015); (Rawung et al., 2015); (Le & Lei, 2018). While the other research findings, transformational leadership does not affect to knowledge sharing (Masa’deh et al., 2016); (Boateng & Agyemang, 2015); (Agyemang et al., 2017). The previous research findings that are not consistent are indications that theory building of the relationship between transformational and knowledge sharing is not robust yet. Other indication is that there is moderating or mediating variable role between them. The indication is in line with suggestion of (S. Wang & Noe, 2010). Following up the research in the topic will be urgent to conduct because empirical research concerning the relationship between transformational leader- ARTÍCULOS 4 Suhana Suhana, Suharnomo Ssuharnomo, Fuad Mas’ud, Anwar Mansyur Mejorando el intercambio de conocimientos a través de colaboraciones basadas en la confianza y liderazgo transformacional N. 37, 2024 – ISSN: 1886-516X – DOI: 10.46661/revmetodoscuanteconempresa.7570 – [Págs. 1-19] Revista de Métodos Cuantitativos para la Economía y la Empresa ship and knowledge sharing is still limited. Knowing how mechanism and process the leadership affects to knowledge sharing will be important research agenda. The current research proposed trust-based collaboration as a mediating variable connecting between idealized influence transformational and contingent reward leadership to knowledge sharing. Thus, the aim of the research is to examine a model proposed concerning the effect of idealized influence transformational and contingent reward transactional leadership to trust-based collaboration and knowledge sharing. Trust-based collaboration is the novelty of the current research functioning as mediating variable to the relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing. From the previous elaboration, the research questions of the article are whether idealized influence leadership has positive effect on trust-based collaboration, whether idealized influence leadership has positive effect on knowledge sharing, whether contingent reward leadership has positive effect on trust-based collaboration, whether contingent reward leadership has positive effect on knowledge sharing and whether trust-based collaboration has positive effect on knowledge sharing. 2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE 2.1 Trust-based collaboration in resource dependence theory Resource dependence theory specifies corporation as an open system, depending on external environment. Resource dependence theory recognizes external factors from organizational behavior. However, a manager can minimize uncertainty and environmental dependency (Reitz et al., 1979). Dependent feature supports an organization to collaborate with others. (Hillman et al., 2009) gives basic argument from resource perspective. One of the argumentation is that dependent pattern produces strengths among organization, internally and externally Collaboration is one of solution form to overcome problem of resource dependence. Collaboration constitutes a developing process in which two or more social entities actively and reciprocally involved in shared activities to gain at least one shared goal. Collaboration can occur among entities, included individual, group, organization, or even community (Longoria, 2005). According to (Bedwell et al., 2012) interaction of the entities can happen in various levels. Especially collaboration, an entity can be included in the same entity or different one. Collaboration process in lower level of analysis can affect to higher level, and conversely. Collaboration needs active and mutual involvement in collaborative process in many levels of related parties (Longoria, 2005). The most important thing is that all related entities work independently and contribute sufficiently to the achievement of shared goals (Bedwell et al., 2012). The existence of shared goal is important element seperating collaboration and all other forms of cooperation. Process of collaboration can only occur if related parties, in various levels, have at least one shared goal to achieve. Without shared goal, there is no reason for the parties to involve in cooperation. 2.2 Trust-based collaboration in social capital theory Main proposition of social capital theory is that relation net constitutes a valuable resource to do social activities and serves its members with capital owned collectively. As series of relation-rooted resource, social capital has many different attributes. (Nahapiet & Ghoshal, 1998) mentions three dimensions of social capital: structural, relational and cognitive dimensions. Structural dimension is manifested as social interaction ties. Relational dimension is seen from trust, reciprocity norm and identification and cognitive one is manifested as vision and shared language. Trust as one of indicators of relational dimension is seen as series of special belief that is mainly related with integrity, benevolence and capability from others (Mayer et al., 1995). Integrity refers to individual hope that members will follow sequences of value, norm and certain principles. Whereas benevolence will be about values to prioritize other interest (Chiu et al., 2006). Trust will occur among parties involved in interaction. It is in line with (Nahapiet & Ghoshal, 1998) stating that when trust appears among related parties, they will involve in cooperation interaction.

(Dirks & Ferrin, 2002) describes strong relationship between transformational leadership and trust. Transformasional leadership improves perception of its benevolence (Burke et al., 2007). Whereas research finding of (Braun et al., 2013) shows that trust in leader mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing. Transformational leadership supports team building and also collaboration among the team. (Cha et al., 2015) conducts a research about transformational leadership and collaboration among the team. Research finding indicates that team and transformational leadership has higher quality of team collaboration and contributes higher collaboration among the team compared the others. (Atapattu & Ranawake, 2017) investigates transformational and transactional leadership and its effect to employee preference to involve in knowledge management process. One of dimensions of transformational leadership is idealized influence, behavior of leader directed to the cooperation promotion among subordinates and supports them to cooperate to gain shared goals. The behavior involves building respect, trust and loyalty among organization members (Crawford, 2005). Idealized influence leader is able to build climate and trust to the organization conditioning the individuals to believe that his peer will not act opportunistically. By building individual trust to his other peers in organization, transformational leadership will be able to build context of organizational trust supporting all individuals in organization to engange in knowledge management process. Individuals are sure that they they will gain reciprocal benefit related with their involvement in knowledge management activities. Idealized influence dimension constitutes one of subtances of transformational leadership. He is respected and trusted. Besides, the leader prioritizes shared interest beyond individual one. The leader also focuses on collaboration with the subordinates. It is relevant with the novelty proposed in the current research, trust-based collaboration. In other side, trend of research about the leadership is on each dimension contribution of transformational leadership. The trend is important to follow up to give clearer contribution of each dimension, not as composite dimensions. A number of previous research findings support the argument (Agyemang et al., 2017); (Al-husseini & Elbeltagi, 2018); (Al-Husseini et al., 2021). Based on theoritical and empirical elaboration, the first hypothesis is idealized influence transformational leadership has positive effect to trust-based collaboration. 2.4 Idealized influence transformational leadership and knowledge sharing (Ugwu & Okore, 2020) examines transformational and transactional leadership to knowledge management process. Dimensions of idealized influence, inspirational motivation and individual consideration significantly influence to process of knowledge management. Idealized influence and individual consideration has the biggest effect to the knowledge management process. For dimensions of transactional leadership, it is just contingent reward influencing significantly to process of knowledge management. (Al-Husseini et al., 2021) found that all dimensions of transformational leadership positively has effect to knowledge sharing. The finding is in line with (M. S. Mohammad, 2012) indicating that leader showing respect and trust can facilitate sharing knowledge among organization members. (Agyemang et al., 2017) conduct research about how individual dimension in transformational leadership theory contributes to knowledge sharing. The finding shows that idealized influence is found as knowledge sharing predictor. The result asserts that a leader suppressing on respect, trust, confidence and group interest will influence knowledge sharing of employees (Bass et al., 2003a). The research supports the finding of (Jahani, 2011) that trust environment and effective attitude promoting knowledge sharing are promoted by a leader with idealized influence dimension. The positive effect of idealized influence on knowledge sharing can be explained that as leader sacrifices his self-interest for organizational goodness (Popper & Lipshitz, 2000).

Many authors note that the trust of employees to the manager is basically influenced by to what extent an employee feels that his manager treats him fairly. The fair perception depends on to what extent an employee perceives that significant reward and punishment is distributed objectively (Mackenzie et al., 2001). Meanwhile, in their meta analysis, (Dirks & Ferrin, 2002) also report a moderate relationship to strong one between transactional leadership and trust in leader. The similar finding is found in the research of (Gillespie & Mann, 2004) that contingent reward positively relates to employee’s trust to the leader. Whereas (Ismail et al., 2010) state that many recent leadership researches showing that a leader practices transactional one in leading the subordinates will promote the trust of subordinates. Moreover, related with the effect of leadership to collaboration, (Yang et al., 2011) observe the relationship between project manager leadership style, team collaboration and project success. The result indicates that a project manager practicing transactional and transformational leadership will improve communication, collaboration and team cohesion. Based on theoretical and empirical elaboration, the thirth hypothesis is contingent reward transactional leadership positively affects to trust-based collaboration. 2.6 Contingent reward transactional leadership and knowledge sharing (Y. S. Chen et al., 2014) examine the relationship between leadership behavior and knowledge sharing in professional service firms in Taiwan and US. One of the results shows that contingent reward leadership behavior positively affects to knowledge sharing. Meanwhile, the finding of research of (L. Y. Chen & Barnes, 2006) indicates that behavior of contingent reward transactional leadership is as significant predictor of knowledge sharing. The similar finding is found by (H. N. Nguyen & Mohamed, 2011) that contingent reward leadership behavior contributes to the creation of organizational knowledge and managerial mindset promoting information flows through organization. Contribution of contingent reward leadership to all dimensions of knowledge management practice is larger than that of charismatic one. In the research, effectivity of contingent reward leadership behavior is better than that of charismatic leadership. Other research finding concerning the relationship is conducted by (Analoui et al., 2012). The result shows that transactional leadership positively has effect to many processes of knowledge management, included knowledge sharing and dissemination. Transactional leadership uses contingent reward to motivate employees to share their knowledge. The researches of (Analoui et al., 2012) and (Ugwu & Okore, 2020) also support the finding. Based on theoretical and empirical elaboration, the fourth hypothesis is contingent reward leadership positively affects to knowledge sharing. 2.7 Trust-based collaboration and knowledge sharing A number of studies concerning trust, cooperation or collaboration have been conducted by many researchers. (Nelson & Cooprider, 1996) investigate mutual trust, influence and shared knowledge on information system performance. The finding indicates that mutual trust positively affects to shared knowledge. The research recommends that to improve shared knowledge, a manager is important to develop mutual trust among groups within an organization. One will be ready to share knowledge to other parties trusted and recognized before. According to (Fu & Lee, 2005), main prerequisite of knowledge creation is trust. Trust variable plays pivotal role to the effectivity of knowledge sharing in organization. The indication is in line with the research finding of (McEvily et al., 2003) that trust gives important role in knowledge sharing activities in ARTÍCULOS 7 Suhana Suhana, Suharnomo Ssuharnomo, Fuad Mas’ud, Anwar Mansyur Mejorando el intercambio de conocimientos a través de colaboraciones basadas en la confianza y liderazgo transformacional N. 37, 2024 – ISSN: 1886-516X – DOI: 10.46661/revmetodoscuanteconempresa.7570 – [Págs. 1-19] Revista de Métodos Cuantitativos para la Economía y la Empresa organization. Many researchers agree that trust is main capital to build knowledge-based organization. Previous studies also show that trust improves knowledge sharing intensity among organization members (De Long & Fahey, 2000). (Al-Alawi et al., 2007) state that trust among employees is important attribute in organizational culture having strong effect to knowledge sharing. Trust among employees is about individual or group hope in promised reliability (Politis, 2003). Team member needs trust existence to respond openly and to share his knowledge (Gruenfeld et al., 1996). Other study is conducted by (Davenport et al., 2003). They state that trust is important factor supporting knowledge sharing process. Climate of cooperation also has pivotal role in knowledge sharing. A number of research findings comfirm that implementation of knowledge management practice can be improved in cooperation climate, not competition one (Sveiby & Simons, 2002), in work environment that is conducive for trust (Goh, 2002). Meanwhile (Wong, 2005) states that one of cultural aspect that is important in knowledge management is collaboration. According to (Lee & Choi, 2003), collaboration has empirically contributed to knowledge creation. Based on theoretical and empirical elaboration, the fifth hypothesis is trust-based collaboration positively affects to knowledge sharing. The research model can be seen in Figure 1. Figure 1. Conceptual Framework 3. RESEARCH METHOD The research is an explanatory research. It examines hypotheses to validate or strengthen hypotheses proposed. Thus, the research findings can be used to strengthen theories used. Population and Sample The current research was conducted in 5 private universities in Central Java Indonesia. All lecturers of private universities in Central Java Indonesia having A qualification in institutional accreditation are the population. The sample measurement determination uses maximum likelihood method, namely 200 respondents. Sampling technique used is non probability sampling, not all population has the same opportunity to be sample. The reason is that population is homogeneous in nature. Many techniques can be used in such sampling technique. One of them is quota sampling, a sampling technique in which population with certain characteristics can be used as samples up to samples’s need fulfilled. The characteristics are lecturers from private universities with A level of institution accreditation and lecturers with profession certification. Of 200 respondents, 162 can be used to the next analysis. While the duration of the research is 9 months.

University of Muhammadiyah Surakarta Indonesia (388: 1408) x 200= 55 lecturers Total 200 lecturers 3.1 Measurement of Variables Idealized influence transformational leadership is measured by using 4 indicators, among others: the interaction convenience with the lecturers, group interest priority. Measurement of idealized influence transformational leadership is adapted from (Bass & Avolio, 1994). Contingent reward transactional leadership is measured by using 5 indicators, among others: dean gives clearer description about what the lecturers will receive if fulfilling their performance, dean expresses his satisfaction of lecturers’s performance. The measurement is adapted from (Bass et al., 2003) and (Mackenzie et al., 2001), based on work of (Podsakoff et al., 1984). Trust-based collaboration is measured by using 5 indicators, among others: developing cooperation with colleagues, cooperation network based commitment and care. The measurement is adapted from(Bedwell et al., 2012), (Nahapiet & Ghoshal, 1998) and (McKnight et al., 2002). Whereas knowledge sharing is measured by using 5 indicators, among others: conveying new information to colleagues, sharing skill and knowledge to colleagues. The measurement of the variable is adapted from (Vuori & Okkonen, 2012). Data Analysis The collected data will be analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS software package version 21. Analysis of SEM with AMOS software package 21.0, covers: a) assumption test including data normality, data outliers, multicollinearity and singularity and residual test, and b) validity and reliability test. Steps in using SEM, according to (Hair et al., 2019), are as follows: developing theory-based model, developing path diagram, converting path diagram to the model, choosing input matrix and model estimation, assessing the possibility of identification problem, evaluating goodness of fit criteria and giving interpretation and modifying model. 4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Respondents of the current research are lecturers from 5 top universities in Central Java Indonesia. Criteria of the respondents are certified fix lecturers with tenure at least 2 years. The demography of respondents cover: sex, age, tenure, education level and academic functional occupation. Result of model fit test using Chi square, GFI, CFI, TLI, CMIN/DF and RMSEA indicated that values obtained within the required range, except AGFI value showing marginal one.

Practical contributions The result of the research has practical implication for leadership development. To get optimum benefit in trusted relationship between leader and subordinates, leadership training and development program should complete leaders with skill to formulate and communicate shared vision and main values. A leader is hoped to actively involved in creating knowledge sharing culture, through increasing of trust-based collaboration among lecturers. The finding of the research indicates that organization should not only focus on extrinsic reward as main motivator in knowledge sharing initiatives. Effective knowledge sharing can not be forced and obliged. According to (Kohn, 1993) extrinsic reward is just effective for short term. Knowledge sharing should be supported in order to be university culture. Leaders are important to create supporting environment of knowledge sharing. With conducive climate, collaboration can run well and in turn affect to knowledge sharing. Dean may add knowledge sharing as one of indicators of key performance of lecturers and is used as main input for lecturers’s performance appraisal. As known that knowledge sharing can be an antecedent for many organizational outputs, such as: organizational learning, innovative behavior and organizational performance. 5.3. Limitations and recommendations for future research The current research has many limitations. Goodness of Fit Index for GFI and AGFI are marginal that can affect the goodness of fit of the model proposed. The research finding cannot be generalized to other countries, especially countries with differently national culture with the research setting of the current research. Based on cultural congruency theory, leadership effectivity is also related with national culture value dominating in a country. There are future research agendas to conduct. Research focus on leadership in the future should be concerning trust-based collaboration. In the current research, behavior of idealized influence transformational leadership affects to knowledge sharing indirectly through trust-based collaboration variable. The next research can be directed to the antecedent and consequence of trust-based collaboration giving important contribution in literature of organizational behavior. Significant proportion of many previous researches concerning knowledge sharing is dominated by motivation theory, suppressing on extrinsic reward related with knowledge sharing. Whereas many previous research findings do not support the effect of extrinsic reward to knowledge sharing. Future research is important to look for accurately theoretical approach to comprehend and measure the effect of antecedent to knowledge sharing. REFERENCES Agyemang, F. G., Boateng, H., & Dzandu, M.
