Abstract

Background: This paper aims to provide empirical evidence concerning the impact of team climate on knowledge sharing behavior and the mediating effects of individuals' altruistic intentions in the context of healthcare settings.

Methods: Questionnaire data were collected from 212 administrators employed at a medical center in Taiwan. Team climate was assessed by the Team Climate Inventory composed of four factors, participative safety, support for innovation, vision, and task orientation. The proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling.

Results: The influence of the team innovation climate on knowledge sharing behavior was evident. Furthermore, individuals' altruistic intentions played a full mediating role in the relationship between team innovation climate and knowledge sharing behavior.

Conclusions: These results contribute to the field of the people-orientated perspective in knowledge management. The full mediating effect of employees' altruistic intentions provides healthcare team managers the direction to accelerate knowledge sharing behavior.

医疗管理人员团队创新氛围与知识共享:利他意图的中介作用。

背景:本研究旨在为医疗环境下团队氛围对知识共享行为的影响以及个体利他意图的中介作用提供实证证据。方法:对台湾某医疗中心212名行政人员进行问卷调查。团队氛围通过团队氛围量表进行评估，该量表由四个因素组成:参与性安全、对创新的支持、愿景和任务导向。采用结构方程模型对提出的假设进行了检验。结果:团队创新氛围对知识共享行为的影响显著。此外，个体的利他意图在团队创新氛围与知识共享行为的关系中发挥了充分的中介作用。结论:本研究成果有助于知识管理中以人为本视角的研究。员工利他意图的充分中介作用为医疗团队管理者加速知识共享行为提供了方向。
