Knowledge sharing in the public sector in Malaysia

Abstract

Organizations are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of knowledge sharing to survive and remain competitive. Current knowledge sharing models have been found to be lacking as they only focus on the relationships between factors that influence knowledge sharing. An integrated approach that is capable of a simultaneous investigation of the various factors that affect knowledge sharing initiatives, quality of knowledge management and its impact on organizational performance has not been widely attempted. This study aims to develop a holistic knowledge sharing model for the public sector in Malaysia that is based on an integrated approach, which combines factors that influence knowledge management (input), knowledge sharing quality (process) and workers’ performance as well as service delivery (output) that encompasses the individual, organization and technology. This study will firstly present a review of the literature of current models in knowledge sharing, which will then form the take-off point for the development of the proposed holistic model. Such a holistic model is deemed appropriate and necessary to steer knowledge sharing initiatives in tandem with forming the base for policy-making of such initiatives.

Organizational Culture and Knowledge Sharing Behavior: Examining Serial Mechanisms

“…Opportunities provided for transferring knowledge are also important as social exchange perspective suggests the vitality of opportunities in an organization for exchange of knowledge (Argote, McEvily, & Reagans, 2003;Huang, Chiu, & Lu, 2013). Few studies have been done in public sector examining knowledge sharing behavior (Singh Sandhu, Kishore Jain, and Ahmad (2011); Amayah (2013); Yusof, Ismail, Ahmad, and Yusof (2012)). Knowledge sharing is influenced by the mode of transmission of knowledge from the source and the motivational disposition (Cabrera & Cabrera, 2005;Huang et al, 2013;LopezNicolas & Meroño-Cerdán, 2009).…”

O compartilhamento de conhecimento em organizações apícolas: uma análise qualitativa em organizações sul-mato-grossenses

“…Para Lin et al (2012), gerenciar os fatores individuais e organizacionais são as principais dificuldades encontradas pelas organizações em gerir o compartilhamento de conhecimento, no entanto, outra dimensão importante para o processo é a dimensão tecnológica (Yusof et al, 2012).…”

Carbon Fibers and Their Composites

“…8.9). This is why PAN is used as a carbon precursor [44]. This process prevents melting during subsequent carbonization, resulting in high carbon yield and good fiber shapes.…”

“…The frictional and normal forces arising from twist may damage or roughen the surface of PAN nanofiber in yarns. [44] A series processing steps can be also accomplished with other types of fibers such as polymer and ceramic fibers acting as core fibers. Figure 8.10 shows the process of transforming electrospun nanofiber webs into continuous nanofibers.…”
