Abstract

ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the usage of online meeting tools (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams) in virtually all sectors. However, how these applications stimulate tacit knowledge sharing and entrepreneurial behaviours is unclear, particularly among knowledge workers. In this manuscript, the authors investigate the impact of usage of online meeting tools on tacit knowledge sharing and on the two types of entrepreneurial behaviour`s among knowledge workers, that are, venture behaviour and strategic renewal behaviour. A quantitative study was conducted, via survey, with a total of 173 participants located worldwide. The research model was tested using structural equation modelling. The relationship between the frequency of using online meeting tools and venture behaviour displayed by knowledge workers was moderately negative. However, the online meeting tools did not exhibit significant effect on tacit knowledge sharing. Furthermore, tacit knowledge sharing has a moderate positive effect on both types of entrepreneurial behaviours.KEYWORDS: Online meeting toolsknowledge workerstacit knowledge sharingemployee intrapreneurshipventure behaviourstrategic renewal behaviour Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the Australian University - Kuwait [IRC-2020/2021-SOB-MANAGEMENT-PR14].

COVID-19期间知识型员工的在线会议工具、隐性知识共享和创业行为

摘要COVID-19大流行加速了几乎所有行业对在线会议工具(例如Zoom、Google Meet、Microsoft Teams)的使用。然而，这些应用程序如何刺激隐性知识共享和创业行为尚不清楚，特别是在知识型员工中。在本文中，作者调查了在线会议工具的使用对隐性知识共享的影响，以及对知识型员工的两种创业行为，即风险行为和战略更新行为的影响。通过调查进行了一项定量研究，共有173名来自世界各地的参与者。采用结构方程模型对研究模型进行了检验。使用在线会议工具的频率与知识型员工的风险行为呈中等负相关。然而，在线会议工具对隐性知识共享的影响并不显著。此外，隐性知识共享对两种创业行为都有适度的正向影响。关键词:在线会议工具知识工作者组织知识共享员工内部创业行为战略更新行为披露声明作者未发现潜在利益冲突本研究由澳大利亚大学科威特分校[IRC-2020/2021-SOB-MANAGEMENT-PR14]资助。

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.
