Exploring the Mechanisms of Interorganizational Knowledge Flows on Group Knowledge-sharing Performances:The Knowledge Governance Approach

[[abstract]]過去雖有些學者研究，管理者如何制定激勵機制，來達成組織成員知識分享的績效；但是，少有學者針對組織成員知識分享議題，建構一完整性的群體知識分享研究模型，並進一步提出實證研究。本論文目的試從知識統治微觀基礎的觀點(knowledge governance approach KGA)，建購一個組織成員群體知識分享的整合理論，與探索各研究構念之間的因果關係。此整合性群體知識分享研究模型，包含四個知識統治機制的自變數：準整合、互動學習、共享瞭解、共享價值觀，一個知識流的中介變數，與一個群體知識分享績效的應變數。另外，在知識流與群體知識分享績效之關係間，存有長期對短期、利潤制對非利潤制、擁有股權對非擁有股權契約的三個干擾變數。 本論文採實證調查研究，針對台灣半導體前後端價值鏈知識工作者，發出問卷調查，並完成回收353份有效問卷。本研究採LISREL 8 70 與 SPSS 15 0統計軟體，作為研究資料的分析工具。經統計分析結果發現：一、準整合對知識流並沒有呈現顯著正向關係。二、互動學習對知識流呈現顯著正向關係。三、共享瞭解對知識流呈現顯著正向關係。四、共享價值觀對知識流呈現顯著正向關係。五、知識流對群體知識分享績效呈現顯著正向關係，且知識流具有部分中介效果。六、長期、利潤制、擁有股權契約會調節知識流與群體知識分享績效之關聯性，且高於短期、非利潤制與非擁有股權契約之調節強度。 本研究結果顯示大部分合理支持建購一個群體知識分享理論的整合性模型。同時也提供實務管理者，如何促進知識工作者分享知識流的激勵因素。本研究最主要的貢獻是，可從知識統治微觀基礎的觀點，來配置一組知識統治機制，解決在知識活動過程中，因知識本身的特性或是群體知識工作者彼此認知失靈，所造成知識交易的危機。[[abstract]]Although some researches in the past tried to identify the government mechanisms impacted on knowledge-sharing performances limited researches seldom explored an integrated model using full range of knowledge governance approach (KGA) variables To build up a general theory of group knowledge-sharing performances the study proposes a comprehensive model drawing on KGA to examine its structural relationships The integrated model is established to include four dimensions of independent variables one dimension of dependent variable and the dimension of mediating/moderating variables Quasi-integration learning by interaction shared meaning and shared value have been all set up as independent variables Analyses of knowledge flows are adopted in the mediator test Group knowledge-sharing performances are treated as dependent variable Nonetheless interorganizational forms are also considered a moderator in the study Adopting 353 samples of knowledge actors in Taiwan’s semiconductors industry the research carried out an empirical survey to explore the fitness of integrated structural model The study analyzes data to test hypotheses applying LISREL 8 70 and SPSS 15 0 Research findings indicate that first of all quasi-integration is not positively associated with knowledge flows; but on the contrary learning by interaction shared meaning and shared value are all positively associated with knowledge flows; secondly knowledge flows are positively associated with group knowledge-sharing performances; finally the effect of knowledge flows on group knowledge-sharing performances is significantly moderated by the long-term profit-based and equity contracts than by the short-term nonprofit-based and non-equity contracts respectively The revealed results largely support the theoretical predictions and provide a foundation for building an integrated comprehensively model of group knowledge-haring theory The research outcomes offer focal managers important determinants to facilitate group knowledge flows and contribute an alternative research avenue to deal with the issue of knowledge-based hazar
