“…Poor leadership and lack of managerial direction hinder KM processes [118]. Hierarchical leadership styles, common in many oil companies, may lead to poor coordination across functions or project teams, while laissez-faire leadership styles lead to dysfunctional communications, both hindering KM processes, especially sharing [18].…”

This paper identify and discuss barriers affecting knowledge management (KM) processes in the oil industry. Based on reviewing the literature on this topic, we used a conceptual model comprising the most important barriers, grouped in three categories-organizational, knowledge and people related-influencing four critical KM processes-creation, storage, share and application. Using factor analysis, we identified which barriers influence the most each of the KM process and what are the practical implications for companies operating in the oil industry. This study provides useful insights regarding knowledge processes barriers, enabling top executives to better cope with factors hindering successful implementation of KM initiatives.

“…Tidak adanya kesempatan dan waktu yang diberikan membuat individu menjadi tidak memiliki kesempatan dalam menyampaikan pendapatnya di dalam proses diskusi (Reige, 2005). Memberi kesempatan dan waktu untuk mempersiapkan proses diskusi merupakan pendekatan yang tepat antara partisipan agar dapat lebih kritis dalam proses sharing of knowledge yang terjadi (Rosen et al, 2007;Santos et al, 2012). Namun, jika tidak adanya kesempatan serta waktu yang cukup untuk melakukan hal tersebut, maka secara pasti akan menghambat terjadinya proses diskusi.…”

through observation then through interviews on 17 students of management program. The results of this study indicate the existence of some barriers that inhibit the process of discussion in the classroom. The barriers found in this study are identified as barriers of individual and organizational factors.Keywords: knowledge sharing, barriers, discussion. PENDAHULUANKnowledge menjadi aset penting bagi organisasi (Hansen et al., 1999), karena dibutuhkan untuk berinovasi, pengembangan strategi, maupun dalam pengambilan keputusan dalam rangka memecahkan suatu permasalahan (Nonaka, 1994;Hansen et al., 1999). Peran knowledge yang sangat penting ini mendorong organisasi mengembangkannya secara intensif untuk menjaga eksistensinya. Adanya interaksi secara intensif antarindividu untuk bertukar pikiran dapat mengakumulasi dan meningkatkan pengetahuan yang dimiliki (Nonaka, 1994;Bartol & Srivastava, 2002). Menurut Flaxton (2013), pertukaran pemikiran tersebut termasuk bagian dari kegiatan share of knowledge. Lebih lanjut, hal tersebut dapat menjadi sarana pendistribusian informasi dan pengetahuan, sehingga menjadi aset intelektual yang berguna (Lee, 2001;Mbaso, 2005; Andolsek et al., 2015).Perguruan Tinggi sebagai lembaga pendidikan berperan sebagai pengelola, pengembang, dan penyempurna pengetahuan (Sohail & Daud, 2009), dan berkontribusi dalam pengembangan intelektual maupun peningkatan kognitif sejak dari tingkat individu (Liu et al., 2014). Bertukar pemikiran melalui proses diskusi dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar merupakan salah satu bentuk yang efektif dalam proses share of knowledge. Setiap partisipan dalam proses diskusi dapat

“…In this work, we start by suggesting (as demonstrated in prior research -e.g., Rosen, Furst, & Blackburn, 2007) that knowledge sharing within virtual teams will be influential in the level of performance attained by the team (i.e. satisfaction and effectiveness).…”

In this symposium we address the tension between working remotely 'anytime, anywhere and with anyone' and the individual embeddedness of the collaborators in a specific local physical, social, cultural, mental and symbolic space. In virtual work, there are two main reasons why the importance of context increases and adds further layers of meaning to context: a) the variety of locations collaborators work from, and b) the dynamic of changing locations while working that is made possible by mobile devices and wireless connections. However, so far the role of context has not been explicitly addressed as a concept relevant to theorizing and researching virtual work.The role of context can be approached from three perspectives: Firstly, we suggest that a reconsideration of conventional views of technology may help us to more effectively study the multiple, emergent, and dynamic socio-material configurations that constitute contemporary organizations and their practices. Secondly, developments in mobile technologies and infrastructures enable increasingly flexible ways of working. Thirdly, we would like to propose Lewin's idea of 'life space' (Lebensraum) as a way of understanding the multiple layers of meaning of 'context in virtual work'.The four papers and the critical review by the discussant expand our understanding on the role of context by addressing the different layers relevant to context in virtual work: The relevance of a physical place in mobile work, familiarity as a feature of social space in teamwork, the cultural and social space of status cues in communication, and the symbolic space of linguistic markers.AoM Submission 13582 3 SYMPOSIUM OVERVIEWAll our actions happen in context: Whether it is actual behaviour -such as writing a paperor mental action -such as anticipating a meeting -, our thoughts and actions are embedded in a specific context, in a physical location, a time zone and a cultural and social context with specific norms and values attached to it. We may have the meeting online with someone located on a different continent and we may send the written paper electronically for feedback rather than delivering and discussing it personally, but the fact remains that also in virtual collaboration the local physical, social and mental spaces remain a defining feature for the collaborators.In this symposium we would like to address the tension between working remotely 'anytime, anywhere and with anyone' and the individual embeddedness of the collaborators in a specific local physical, social, cultural, mental and symbolic space. In the past ten years, there has been a noted increase of research on global virtual teams (Gilson et al., 2015) which shows the need for studying the role of local contexts in virtual work. On a team member level, working in different locations brings with it the potential influence of specific local physical and social factors in virtual collaboration. For example, perceived differences in national culture and language barriers can adversely affect team identific...
