“…Having a committed and satisfied workforce facilitates changes, contributes to high productivity (Hauskennecht et al, 2008;Lee et al, 2008), improves service quality and performance (Zhou et al, 2008), brings flexibility, and enrich organizational climate (Hackman and Oldham, 1980). Creativity and innovation has never been so important for firm's survival (Cabrera, Collins and Salgado, 2006). Zhou and partners (2008) found that employees' satisfaction partially mediated the impact of market orientations behavior on product quality, and employees' satisfaction fully mediates the effect of market orientation behavior on organizational performance.…”

This research aims to compare the public and private sectors with regard to satisfaction at work. We conducted a survey with 670 professionals from both sectors in Brazil. The results of variance analysis confirm previous researches indicating that public officials are less satisfied with their work than private sector workers. However, this result does not repeat when we evaluate the satisfaction dimensions. For instance, public officials reported being more satisfied than private sector workers with regard to social environment and work stability. Unexpectedly, the results suggest that there is no difference between these sectors when we analyze the satisfaction with supervision. Therefore, this article is relevant for Brazilian managers, by offering an empirical research on the distinction between public and private. The article also discusses the theoretical implications, since Brazilian findings do not completely support the international literature. Os funcionários públicos estão realmente menos satisfeitos que os trabalhadores do setor privado? Um estudo comparado no Brasil O objetivo desta pesquisa é comparar os setores público e privado em relação à satisfação no trabalho. Foi realizado um survey com 670 profissionais de ambos os setores no Brasil. Os resultados da análise de variância confirmam as pesquisas anteriores indicando que os funcionários públicos estão menos satisfeitos com seu trabalho que os trabalhadores do setor privado. No entanto, esse resultado não se repete quando avaliadas as dimensões da satisfação. Por exemplo, os funcionários públicos relataram estar mais satisfeitos que os trabalhadores da iniciativa privada em relação ao ambiente social e à estabilidade no trabalho. Inesperadamente, os resultados sugerem que não existe diferença entre os setores quando analisada a satisfação com a supervisão. Portanto, este artigo é relevante para os gestores brasileiros, pois oferece uma pesquisa empírica sobre a distinção entre público e privado. Este artigo também discute as implicações teóricas, pois os achados brasileiros não confirmam totalmente a literatura internacional. 1478Renata Borges ¿Los funcionarios públicos están realmente menos satisfechos que los trabajadores del sector privado?

“…From the organizational perspective, if employees cannot freely or are not allowed to share information, knowledge, ideas, or views about their work without a superior's permission, they will exhibit a passive manner in KS. However employees who are high in openness are more engaged in KS activities [38]. Reference [39], who also support this view, argue that openness influences the transfer of knowledge between partners.…”

“…Reference [39], who also support this view, argue that openness influences the transfer of knowledge between partners. In addition, openness is a strong predictor of KS because openness to experience is a reflection of a person's curiosity and originality, which in turn are predictors of seeking other people's views and insights [38], [40].…”

Knowledge is a key to creating a sustainable competitive advantage. Measuring knowledge of an organization as a unit allows for, in addition to other things, benchmarking it against other organizations as well as comparing the development within the organization in the course of time. Additionally, measuring the knowledge of individuals and groups helps identify key workers and can also be used when recruiting a new work force, while evaluating employees' work performances, or to check the course of the adaptation of a new employee. Even though the field of measuring knowledge belongs, in comparison with other topics, among the lesser-developed fields in the management of knowledge, a number of approaches that can be used to measure knowledge have been introduced. The aim of this study is to present an overview of methods which can be applied when measuring the knowledge of organizations, groups or individuals and thus provide a practical list of methods which feature in literature mostly for practitioners and novices in this field. The study is based on a content-analysis of literature.
