Employees’ attitude (regardless of whether positive or negative) and perceived behavioral control play an important, but not dominant role. The study also implies that intrinsic motivators have a stronger effect on employees’ willingness to engage in knowledge exchange with external partners than extrinsic components. By targeting a set of relevant questions related to the human side of open innovation, the study significantly contributes to the micro-foundation of OI-research and sheds light on the hitherto neglected perspective of employees engaged in OI-projects. The findings are relevant for scholars, companies already following the OI-approach, and OI-newcomers.  Contents Knowledge Exchange in OI-Projects Individual Behavior Theory of Planned Behavior Managerial Implications  Target Groups Researchers and students of Innovation Management (Open Innovation), R&D, and Business Psychology People who are interested in Innovation Management (Open Innovation), R&D, and Project Management  The Author Verena Nedon does research on open innovation at the Institute of Technology and Innovation Management (TUHH), focusing on knowledge exchange between R&D employees and external partners in OI-projects UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-09585-7 ER -
