| Popis: | 97 Knowledge has been considered as the important resource to the competitive advantage of an organization. While much of the knowledge management literature was heavily focused on technological issues, this has changed, such that the importance of human and social factors has been increasingly recognized. The paper shifts focus on the idea that the success of any knowledge management initiative is likely to be dependent on people taking an active role in the process. The purpose of this research is to understand the knowledge sharing behavior of employees. The research has identified several antecedents from different perspectives, such as individual differences and contextual environment. In validating this research with hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), data was collected from 187 employees in 46 different teams. A valid sample includes three different questionnaires: employees, team leader, and HR members. The results show that individual difference such as self-monitor personality and social skill are significantly important to individual’s knowledge sharing behavior. Furthermore, contextual environment is also an important factor that impact on individual’s knowledge sharing behavior. Overall, this research has provided a comprehensive framework of the impact factors of individuals’ knowledge sharing behaviors. Hopefully, it can serve as the foundation for future research. |
