With the rapid change and development of technology in the twenty-first century, worldwide economies are now interlinked. In the global-economy era, no country can remain outside of this trend; people in countries worldwide must compete with one another. Under these circumstances, only by advancing away from the conventional thinking that businesses must hold advantages in capitals, resources, and manufacturing techniques, and becoming imaginative, inspirational, innovative thinkers can firms maintain their competitiveness and play a crucial role in the industries of the new era. Knowledge capital has replaced land capital and financial capital, becoming the new driver of industry innovation, and knowledge-value-based firms have become the new elites in their industries. In this knowledge-based-economy era, knowledge is the DNA of all valuable things. Through questionnaire surveys and empirical research analysis, this study focused on four personality-trait perspectives: attitude toward knowledge sharing, intention for knowledge sharing, knowledge sharing, and subjective norms. The main research subject was three science parks in Taiwan.
