“…It follows that the PBO is partly responsible for the difficulties in knowledge transfer and must therefore be part of a practical solution. The model of Zhou, Deng, Hwang, et al (2022) for knowledge transfer to the PBO and the framework of Zhou, Deng, Wang, et al (2022) for knowledge transfer in the project environment provide theoretical solutions to counteract these problems. For such solutions to be applied in practice, it is necessary to integrate generic models and frameworks into project management standards.…”

This qualitative research study explores the experiences of project managers in IT projects, using an investigative approach to explore the intricacies of knowledge transfer in these contexts. The research framework emphasizes the complexity of social dynamics and the need for a deeper understanding, prompting the use of qualitative methods. Expert interviews were chosen as the primary data collection technique due to their alignment with the research objectives. The study adopts an exploratory perspective, with online interviews conducted using a co-expert approach. The philosophical stance of the study is based on phenomenalist principles and aims to gain insights into the personal experiences of project managers. The experts selected for the study met specific criteria, including certification and experience in IT project management. Thematic analysis revealed key categories: Forms of knowledge transfer, challenges, and opportunities. Personalized spontaneous knowledge transfer emerged as the dominant form, facilitated by informal interactions, and efforts to codify this knowledge in a documented form were observed. Challenges included issues of quantity, distribution, team dynamics, technology platforms, organizational culture, and time constraints. Successful knowledge transfer was associated with increased efficiency, improved quality, faster project completion, and continuous improvement of methods and standards. The study suggests that project-based organizations should develop strategies to improve knowledge transfer, incorporate it into project management standards and focus on facilitating effective communication between team members.

“…Cultural distance also has a negative impact on knowledge transfer. Zhou, Deng, Wang, et al (2022) show that it directly affects effectiveness by mediating willingness to contribute and retain knowledge. Cross-cultural team training reduces cultural distance (Zhou, Chen, et al, 2022).…”

“…Researchers have often examined knowledge sharing as a form of social exchange in organizations where employees decide to participate based on the anticipated costs and benefits of participation [96]. Interactions between employees foster trust and shared relationships, which have positive impacts on employee willingness to engage in KS activities [97]. Motivation has been recognized as a significant predictor of both general and work-related behaviors, and the research indicates that it serves as the key catalyst for knowledge sharing [55].…”

While making an appeal to the social exchange theory, self-determination theory and the uses and gratification theory of motivation, the study seeks to investigate the efficacy of social media platforms in promoting knowledge sharing in contemporary times, which are marked by widespread digital transformation and knowledge-driven governance. Through a PLS-based structural equation modelling performed on a dataset obtained from 450 business professionals working at disparate managerial levels in diverse organizations and institutions, it has been found that the use of social media platforms significantly amplifies knowledge sharing. It has further been discovered that the efficacy of social media platforms in maturing knowledge sharing increases both with the elevation of motivation to share knowledge and the motivation to use social media. The study is one that offers rich theory-laden conceptualization and/or explanation grounded in diverse sets of theories encompassing individual as well as collective social and behavioral antecedents and contingencies of technology–human interaction dynamics regarding knowledge sharing in virtual environments, besides offering useful insights to researchers and practitioners alike to help them better understand and/or manage knowledge sharing through social media platforms.

From NGOs with Knowledge: An Empirical Study on the Impact of Trust-Antecedents on Knowledge Transfer

This study investigates three trust-antecedents (competence, benevolence, and integrity) those influence knowledge transfer. These trust-antecedents play a key role in the transfer of knowledge from NGO employees to their beneficiaries. 2445 registered NGOs in Bangladesh are targeted for data collection. 460 useable questionnaires are taken into consideration (n=460) for the study. According to Correlations and Hierarchical Multiple Regression Analysis, these trust antecedents are having a significant positive impact on knowledge transfer. Because it is single-country research, one of the study's weaknesses is that its generalizability may be restricted. Future researchers may carry out similar studies in different contexts.
