Relationships among organizational culture,knowledge sharing,and innovation capability: a case of the automobile industry in Taiwan

The advancement of automobiles (thereinafter auto) during these decades has not only made great contributions to the economic development, but also significantly changed people’s life. Apparently, the auto industry has entered an innovation race. Among extant literature, organizational culture (OC) has positive impact on innovation capability (INC), whereas little research concerns about how OC influences organization’s capabilities through knowledge management (KM) activities, especially for knowledge sharing (KS) taken in a firm. This study aims to explore the effect of OC and KS on INC in the knowledge-intensive auto industry. Questionnaires are given to 6 whole-car manufacturers, 49 parts suppliers, and 7 car dealers in Taiwan. 449 valid questionnaires are returned, and an empirical analysis through structural equation modeling (SEM) is performed. The result shows that KS is the mediating variable of OC and INC, and OC has a significant positive effect on KS.

Weblogs for organizational knowledge sharing and creation: a comparative case study

The use of weblogs as an information and communication technology for knowledge sharing and creation is a novel social and organizational phenomenon. In this paper, we identify and explain contingency factors that influence the successful use of weblogs for knowledge sharing and creation. We start from the assumption that successful knowledge management requires the motivation of people to engage in knowledge-related communication. Based on a comparison of two antithetic cases, we identify and discuss four contingency factors that directly influence the motivational impact of weblogs on organizational knowledge sharing and creation.     

物质激励、知识所有权与组织知识共享研究

 组织知识管理实践发现个体间知识共享无法通过强制方式得以实现,而是依赖于组织对个体的激励。本研究运用理性行为理论,以通讯行业的185名知识型员工为调查对象,深入剖析了物质激励和感知的知识所有权对个体知识共享意愿及行为的作用机理,得出如下结论：（1）虽然物质激励对个体知识共享主观规范有积极的影响,却并不能直接改变个体对知识共享的态度;（2）个体知识共享的态度和共享主观规范可以促进个体知识共享意愿的提高,知识共享意愿进而可以有效预测知识共享行为的发生;（3）知识共享的主观规范与知识共享的态度正相关;（4）感知的知识所有权在物质激励与知识共享主观规范的关系间起到调解作用没有得到证实。本研究为组织设计合理有效的激励机制提供了理论依据。

Impact of organizational support on organizational intention to facilitate knowledge sharing

Knowledge sharing can be viewed as an organizational innovation that has the potential to generate new ideas and develop new business opportunities through socialization and learning process of knowledge workers. Moreover, numerous scholars have proposed that interpersonal trust is an important facilitator of knowledge sharing. This study aims to develop a research model examining how organizational support influences the intention to facilitate knowledge sharing through organizational perceptions of innovation characteristics (perceived relative advantage and compatibility) and interpersonal trust. Data from a survey of senior executives in Taiwan were used to test the proposed research model. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to examine the validity of the measurement model, and the structural model also was analyzed to test the associations hypothesized in the research model. The results showed that organizational support is positively associated with organizational perceptions of innovation characteristics (perceived relative advantage and compatibility) and interpersonal trust, which in turn are positively related to organizational intention to facilitate knowledge sharing. Implications for organizations are also discussed.

Comparison of competing models and multi-group analysis of organizational culture,knowledge transfer,and innovation capability: an empirical study of the Taiwan semiconductor industry

This study proposes a theoretical model to examine the relationships between organizational culture (OC), knowledge transfer (KT), and innovation capability (CI) in Taiwan’s semiconductor industry. Structural equation modelling is employed to discuss the degree of influence on each construct. In order to recognize what the better model and whether the model will be moderated for different industry chain positions (upstream, midstream, and downstream), this study uses competing models and multi-group analysis. A total of 433 valid responses were collected from 10 Taiwan semiconductor firms’ R&D departments. Through the competing models, we find that supportive culture is better than bureaucratic and innovative culture. Findings also reveal that managers should shape a supportive culture and encourage KT to promote CI in the semiconductor industry supply chain. KT is a partial mediator between OC and CI. In addition, after multi-group analysis, the results show that culture has significantly different relationships with KT and CI.

Investigating the impact of organizational climate,motivational drivers,and empowering leadership on knowledge sharing

This paper presents a research model aimed to investigate the impact of organizational climate, motivational drivers, and empowering leadership on behavioral intention formation in knowledge sharing. A research model has been developed by integrating several knowledge management studies having in-focus behavioral intention formation in knowledge sharing. The hypotheses are tested on data collected from 873 employees from public and private sector organizations from Serbia’s province of Vojvodina, using partial least square structural modeling technique and SmartPLS software. Findings suggest that organizational climate with prominent dimensions of fairness, innovativeness and affiliation, empowering leadership, sense of self-worth, and altruism significantly influence individuals’ knowledge-sharing attitude, intention, and behavior thus confirming the theory of reasoned action. Results obtained in this research expand and deepen findings reported in previous studies and enable a comprehensive framework for understanding the influence of some organizational variables on employees’ tendencies to be engaged in knowledge sharing.

制造型企业知识员工组织承诺及其与个体效能的关系——以离职倾向为例

拥有高组织承诺的员工队伍是组织获取持续竞争优势的重要来源.通过对制造型企业知识员工的问卷调查,验证了组织承诺的三维结构,并以离职倾向为例,运用分层回归分析方法重点探讨了知识员工组织承诺各维度之间的交互对个体效能的影响.结果显示:情感承诺、规范承诺和持续承诺对离职倾向存在显著负影响,且影响强度依次降低;规范承诺可以正向调节情感承诺和离职倾向之间的关系,即规范承诺越高,情感承诺和离职倾向之间的相关性越强.     

组织激励、组织文化对知识共享的差异化作用机理——基于修订的社会影响理论

 组织智力资本的增进依赖于组织成员间广泛的共享知识。组织激励与组织文化分别代表了促进组织成员知识共享的正式和非正式组织因素成为学术界与企业界关注的焦点。鉴于鲜有研究同时关注并区分正式的组织激励和非正式的组织文化对知识共享的差异化作用机理,本研究采用修订的社会影响理论对组织激励、组织文化与知识共享三者间的关系进行了系统研究,通过对1182名知识型员工的问卷调查发现：组织激励通过顺从机制的中介效应间接影响组织成员的知识共享意愿;组织文化通过认同机制和内化机制（情感承诺）的中介效应间接影响组织成员的知识共享态度,进而最终影响组织成员的知识共享意愿。
