| description | Organizational knowledge sharing (OKS) represents a distinct sub-field in
knowledge management theory. The present study adopts a quantitative approach
and reports data collected in a medium sized industrial organization
in Norway. The aim of the study is to identify factors that are important
for OKS and examine their relative impact on knowledge sharing practices.
The present analysis of OKS includes personal (i.e. personality dispositions),
technological (i.e. technological aids), and organizational (i.e. social climate)
variables. Results of a stepwise hierarchical regression support previous research
that individual dispositions, technological components, and organizational
variables are important predictors of OKS. The discussion of results
focus on the relation between predictors in terms of mediating effects and
their relative impact on OKS. Limitations and implications of the present work
are also examined. |
