Tacit knowledge in organizations: bibliometrics and a framework-based systematic review of antecedents, outcomes, theories, methods and future directions

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this bibliometric and systematic literature review is to survey and evaluate key study’s in tacit knowledge (TK). Through analysing and synthesizing based on the antecedents, decisions, outcomes-theories, context and methods (ADO-TCM) framework, this paper highlights research gaps and avenues for future research. It is important to recognize the antecedents, results and theories in the available literature as it offers enough evidence for encouraging the significance of TK. Design/methodology/approach This research paper follows a bibliometric analysis and systematic approach in identifying, analyzing and synthesizing pertinent literature in TK. A total of 59 research studies were carefully and systematically reviewed with the help of NVivo12 and excel software to code and analyse. Findings With the help of bibliometric analysis and framework-based systematic review, this research paper offers a retrospective view of the TCM framework in the amalgamation with ADO framework, bibliometric analysis and important themes of TK research. Originality/value This paper is different from existing reviews as the authors have to combine bibliometric analysis and framework-based systematic review approach to provide a more robust encapsulation of TK research. To the best of the knowledge, the present research is one of the first systematic reviews based on a framework relating to TK.

Investor’s Learning Style and Knowledge Acquisition Dimension: The Role of ICT in Maximising Knowledge Acquisition

“…First, by referring to Feldman et al (2015) and Manolis et al (2013), the authors classified the learning styles into four types, followed by investment experience. Second, we investigate the dominance of assimilative and convergent learning types with two dimensions of knowledge acquisition; latent (tacit & material) and active (actor & kinetic), with the highest causality relationship value (Giampaoli et al, 2017;Thomas & Gupta, 2021;Wang et al, 2020). Therefore, if the first and second stages are proven valid, these results indicate the robustness of the relationship between either unsophisticated or sophisticated investors and knowledge acquisition dimensions constructed in this study.…”

“…Furthermore, this study focuses on the two learning styles by reflecting investors with the convergent type as investors with the ideal learning type because they combine theoretical concepts, which are then put into practice and further evaluated in the learning cycle. So, their cognition can continue to develop optimally compared to other types of learning (Cheng et al, 2017;Haddad et al, 2019;Thomas & Gupta, 2021). The first concept is knowledge acquisition stated by Alexander (2017) and Johnson (2010), which precisely in this study involves acquiring investors' knowledge.…”

Stimulating CSR learning collaboration by the mentor universities with digital tools and technologies – an empirical study during the COVID-19 pandemic

“…(McLoughlin and Lee, 2007). Using some of the online COPs like WhatsApp groups, Google groups, Facebook and YouTube communities, mentor and mentee members can create content, share knowledge, collaborate and conveniently communicate (Mishra et al, 2020;Thomas and Gupta, 2022a;Gupta, 2020). Online collaborative tools are elemental for fostering student interaction and stimulating intra-group emotional support.…”

Android and Web-Based Learning Research During the Last 10 Years: How Does It Impact Physics Learning?

“…As a result, a prospective study indeed can develop AbL and WbL research in physics subject based on keyword mapping visualizations. There are certainly chances to do research in AbL and WbL in physics subject on less-used keywords or to improve on more-used terms and to build a new innovation of the learning media [93][94] [95].…”
