However, participants do not log on  frequently or are reluctant to share ideas with  others. Therefore, it is crucial for teachers to  understand when and how interaction and knowledge  sharing happen.   The present study develops two new scales to  measure an individual''s evaluation of the degree to  which an online learning environment can facilitate  the formation and maintenance of relationships.  Then, the hypothesized relationships between the  two constructs and knowledge sharing in online  learning environments are tested.   The results indicate that both the need to form and  to maintain relationships are important  determinants. Individuals who found that an online  learning environment helped him or her to form or  maintain relationships reported knowledge sharing  behaviour. In addition, the higher was the  evaluation of individuals of the degree to which an  online learning environment supported relationship  maintenance, the higher was their evaluation of the  degree to which the online learning environment  facilitated relationship formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838392196\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn Interpersonal Relationship Perspective\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838392196","offer_id":39498950017117,"sku":"9783838392196","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/defd37a7-c8eb-42cb-a6ef-d8bb921bf639.jpg?v=1776318549","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/understanding-online-knowledge-sharing-von-will-w-k-ma","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
