Abstract

This paper gives an overview of knowledge sharing in workplace. Based on the review of critical literatures by the authors, they infer that knowledge sharing in workplace can be influenced by motivators and demotivators. Activities of knowledge sharing in organizations may be on organization level or individual level. Knowledge sharing of both levels is critical to the success or failure of knowledge management inside and outside of organizations. Age, culture, and industry were all found to affect knowledge sharing among workers. A common stereotype is that older workers hoard knowledge because they are more insecure and feel threatened by younger workers. Since older workers have more valuable knowledge, younger workers needed to entice their older colleagues to share their valuable knowledge with them. The paper focus on motivators and demotivators to sharing Knowledge in workplace. Theories and research pertaining to why workers share knowledge are reviewed. While all industry need knowledge and innovation, it is also true that the pace of change and the need to innovate differs from industry to industry. Technology was acknowledged to have a high important role in increasing productivity of knowledge sharing. It plays a critical role in creating, storing and distributing explicit knowledge in an accessible and expeditious
工作场所的知识共享:激励因素与抑制因素
本文对工作场所的知识共享进行了概述。作者通过对相关文献的回顾,推断出工作场所的知识共享会受到激励因素和非激励因素的影响。组织中的知识共享活动可以是组织层面的,也可以是个人层面的。这两个层次的知识共享对组织内外知识管理的成败至关重要。年龄、文化和行业都会影响员工之间的知识共享。一种常见的刻板印象是,年长的员工囤积知识是因为他们更没有安全感,觉得受到年轻员工的威胁。由于年长的员工拥有更多有价值的知识,年轻的员工需要吸引年长的同事与他们分享有价值的知识。本文主要研究了工作场所知识共享的激励因素和抑制因素。理论和研究有关为什么员工分享知识进行了审查。虽然所有行业都需要知识和创新,但变革的速度和创新的需求也因行业而异。技术在提高知识共享的生产力方面发挥着重要作用。它在以易于获取和快速的方式创建、存储和分发显性知识方面发挥着关键作用
