Abstract

Knowledge processes, such as knowledge creation, sharing and application, enable knowledge production that increases innovation and superior organizational performance. Knowledge processes are ultimately and fundamentally conducted – or not engaged in – by the individuals. Hence, knowledge production is disrupted if individuals are prevented from using their knowledge production potential. One potential factor that causes disruption in knowledge production is the lack of autonomy. As autonomy means self-governance and independency, it enables independent and unique knowledge processing by the individual, and thereby supports both individual and collective level knowledge production. Despite the importance of the role of autonomy in knowledge production, there is no research-based knowledge of which knowledge process have been studied from the perspective of autonomy, and what has been left unexplored. This research clarifies the research literature by finding out which knowledge processes have been studied from the point of view of autonomy. Also, what has been found concerning the relationship between autonomy and knowledge processes is considered. The research was conducted as a systematic literature review supplemented by qualitative content analysis in which the articles up the year 2022 from databases Scopus and Web of Science were reviewed. The most notable finding of this study is the lack of research between autonomy and knowledge identification and the paucity of research between autonomy and knowledge internalization. This is a significant finding since knowledge identification affect what knowledge is processed and produced in the organization. Internalizations in turn affects knowledge-based orientation and knowledge production in the organizational environment. This paper contributes to the organizational research literature by summing up the existing research on the interface of autonomy and knowledge processes and provides a refined understanding on the central role of autonomy in the effective implementation of knowledge processes, as well as avenues for future research.
自主与知识过程——系统文献综述
知识过程,如知识创造、共享和应用,使知识生产能够增加创新和卓越的组织绩效。知识过程最终和根本是由个人进行的——或者不参与。因此,如果阻止个人发挥其知识生产潜力,知识生产就会中断。导致知识生产中断的一个潜在因素是缺乏自主权。自治意味着自我治理和独立,它使个体能够进行独立的、独特的知识加工,从而支持个人和集体层面的知识生产。尽管自主性在知识生产中的作用很重要,但目前还没有从自主性的角度研究知识过程的研究性知识,也没有对知识过程进行探索。本研究通过找出哪些知识过程从自主的角度进行了研究,从而对研究文献进行了梳理。此外,本文还考虑了自主性与知识过程之间的关系。本研究采用系统文献综述和定性内容分析相结合的方法,对Scopus和Web of Science数据库中截至2022年的文章进行了综述。本研究最显著的发现是自主与知识认同之间的研究缺失,以及自主与知识内化之间的研究缺失。这是一个重要的发现,因为知识识别影响组织中处理和产生的知识。内部化反过来影响组织环境中的知识导向和知识生产。本文通过总结现有的关于自主与知识过程界面的研究,为组织研究文献做出了贡献,并对自主在知识过程有效实施中的核心作用提供了精细化的理解,以及未来研究的途径。
