“…To generate creative ideas (a key step of innovation behaviour), it is critical for employees to access (potential absorptive capacity) and to use (realised absorptive capacity) external knowledge. The same finding is obtained by Curado et al () who argue that absorptive capacity ‘improves the speed, frequency and magnitude of innovation’ (p. 46). The following hypothesis thus is proposed:…”

“…The study recommends that shared knowledge should be transformed through absorptive capacity. The mediating role of absorptive capacity is further confirmed in recent studies (Curado et al, 2017;Kang & Lee, 2017). In addition to knowledge sharing, knowledge must be absorbed and applied in order to formulate a firm's competitive strategy (Soo, Tian, Teo, & Cordery, 2017).…”

“…The outcomes could be the improved product/service quality and efficient work processes. However, two recent quantitative studies disprove the direct positive relationship between knowledge sharing and innovation capability (Curado et al, 2017;Kang & Lee, 2017). Curado et al (2017) add that knowledge sharing solely is not able to enhance the innovation and the shared knowledge must be absorbed by employees.…”

“…Several recent studies attempted to investigate some of the aforementioned factors, for instance, between knowledge sharing and absorptive capacity (Ali, Musawir, & Ali, 2018;Rafique, Hameed, & Agha, 2018); between knowledge sharing and innovation (Hussein, Singh, Farouk, & Sohal, 2016;Soto-Acosta, Popa, & Palacios-Marqués, 2017); and among knowledge sharing, absorptive capacity and innovation (Curado, Oliveira, Maçada, & Nodari, 2017;Kang & Lee, 2017). As most of these studies are conducted in other countries and industries, their generalisability is still questionable.…”

“…As Ngai (2008: 2343) point it out: "Simply put, a lack of sharing may inhibit or hinder knowledge management". Ultimately, knowledge sharing is seen as a determinant of individual and organizational performance (Henttonen et al 2016;Kang et al 2008;Law and Ngai 2008), job satisfaction (Fischer and Döring 2018; and innovative capability (Curado et al 2017;Nieves et al 2016). The term knowledge sharing is usually used to describe a unidirectional way of exchanging knowledge, as for instance, one colleague explains a procedure to another colleague.…”

Motivated to Share? Development and Validation of a Domain-Specific Scale to Measure Knowledge-Sharing Motives

This paper examines the construct of knowledge sharing motivation (KSM) and develops a scale to measure knowledge sharing motives. Following the Rubicon model (Heckhausen 1989) the author suggests that KSM and knowledge sharing behaviour (KSB) are different stages in the process of human behavior which alternate and affect each other but are by no means identical. Hence, knowledge sharing motivation cannot be measured by knowledge sharing behavior, which is done in the literature up to now. According to theories of human needs and motives, several dimensions of knowledge sharing motivation are suggested. Furthermore, qualitative data and peer review were used to generate items. The constructed scale of KSM is tested with survey data of 355 German public employees from 2017. An exploratory factor analysis indicates a clear separation of knowledge sharing motivation and behavior. The analysis indicates three dimensions of KSM, namely appreciation, growth and altruism, and extrinsic rewards. A confirmatory factor analysis using structural equation modeling confirms the results. The developed construct of KSM shows an acceptable model fit. Hence, the scale can be used as a basis for further research on knowledge sharing. Practitioners might use the developed scale to assess knowledge sharing motivation of employees in their organization as a basis for the design of management practices that foster knowledge sharing.

Translating External Knowledge to Team Creativity in Turbulent Environments: The Role of Absorptive Capacity and Knowledge Integration

In seeking to understand factors contributing to team creativity in dynamic environments, we explored the role of external knowledge search on team creativity through absorptive capacity and knowledge integration. We tested our hypotheses with a sample of 96 teams involving 421 employees in China. Results demonstrated that external knowledge search related positively to team creativity, fully mediated by both absorptive capacity and knowledge integration. In addition, environmental dynamism played a moderating role in the relation between external knowledge search and absorptive capacity, as well as in the relation between external knowledge search and knowledge integration. We discussed the implications of these findings for research and practice.
