Affected by coronavirus disease (COVID-19), in addition to keeping away the impact of the pandemic on their business practices, many enterprises have proposed relevant measures to protect their employees' job safety and security. Especially for enterprises with high dependence on knowledge resources, employees' innovation and knowledge sharing play a vital role. In the context of global economic austerity, how to put forward the corresponding plan of knowledge sharing intention to improve the knowledge sharing behavior of employees for enterprises is worth discussing. Mainland China and Malaysia have different quarantine policies and similar industrial structures. This study examines the awareness of Mainland China vs. Malaysian employees, and evaluates the relationship among self-efficacy, job security, market orientation, knowledge sharing intention, and knowledge sharing behavior from the theory of planned behavior. In this study, a total of 627 Mainland China and 434 Malaysian participants were collected to compare both groups in the development of employees' knowledge sharing behavior. In this study, a variance-based partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was performed to test the proposed hypothesis and conduct comparative analysis. The results in both the samples show that self-efficacy, job security, and market orientation have positive and significant effects on knowledge sharing intention; self-efficacy has positive and significant effects on job security; knowledge sharing intention has positive and significant effects on knowledge sharing behavior. Moreover, there are several significant differences between Mainland China and Malaysia in the examinations of path comparisons.
受冠状病毒病（COVID-19）影响，除了抵御疫情对其业务实践的冲击外，许多企业还提出了相关措施来保护员工的工作安全。特别是对于高度依赖知识资源的企业，员工的创新和知识共享起着至关重要的作用。在全球经济紧缩的背景下，如何为企业提出相应的知识共享意愿计划以促进员工的知识共享行为值得探讨。中国大陆和马来西亚有着不同的检疫政策和相似的产业结构。本研究考察中国大陆与马来西亚员工的认知，并从计划行为理论的角度评估自我效能感、工作安全感、市场导向、知识共享意愿和知识共享行为之间的关系。在本研究中，共收集了627名中国大陆参与者和434名马来西亚参与者，以比较两组员工知识共享行为的发展情况。本研究采用基于方差的偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）来检验所提出的假设并进行比较分析。两个样本的结果均表明，自我效能感、工作安全感和市场导向对知识共享意愿有正向且显著的影响；自我效能感对工作安全感有正向且显著的影响；知识共享意愿对知识共享行为有正向且显著的影响。此外，在路径比较检验中，中国大陆和马来西亚之间存在若干显著差异。
