Abstract
ABSTRACTThis work has three objectives: the first, to analyse the relationship between learning culture and knowledge transfer; the second, to analyse the mediation effect of organisational commitment between culture and transfer; and the third, to analyse the moderation effect of job satisfaction between culture and transfer. The participants in the study were 463 employees from Colombia, and the research method was the survey. The hypotheses were tested using structural equations. Data analysis shows a significant relationship between learning culture and knowledge transfer. The results show a partial mediation effect of organisational commitment. The moderation effect of job satisfaction between culture and knowledge transfer is not proven. The results of this study confirm the knowledge management literature, indicating that the values that describe a learning culture affect knowledge transfer. Furthermore, this research shows how attitudes intervene in knowledge transfer, which adds importance to the results.KEYWORDS: Learning cultureknowledge transferorganisational commitmentjob satisfactionColombia Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
期刊介绍:
Knowledge management is a term that has worked its way into the mainstream of both academic and business arenas since it was first coined in the 1980s. Interest has increased rapidly during the last decade and shows no signs of abating. The current state of the knowledge management field is that it encompasses four overlapping areas: •Managing knowledge (creating/acquiring, sharing, retaining, storing, using, updating, retiring) •Organisational learning •Intellectual capital •Knowledge economics Within (and across) these, knowledge management has to address issues relating to technology, people, culture and systems.
