Abstract

This paper aims to propose that knowledge management strategies (KMS) and transformational leadership (TFL) could be ways of enhancing the two components of individual creativity (domain-relevant skills and creative-thinking skills), as well as examine the mediating role of knowledge sharing (KS). A theoretical model concerning the connections between two KMS (codification and personalization), TFL, and the two components of individual creativity is proposed. The model is then empirically tested using partial least squares (PLS) of a survey data set of 287 employees of 42 companies in South Korea. TFL is significantly linked with the domain-relevant skills and creative-thinking skills via KS. Further, codification and personalization strategies are only indirectly associated with domain-relevant skills via KS. This paper produces knowledge on a type of consequence of KMS that has been largely unexplored in previous research, the effect of KMS on individual creativity. Also, it promotes moving the KM literature to the next stage where the impact of KM practices is a contingent and contextual issue.

对变革型领导、知识管理策略和员工创造力的调查

本文旨在提出知识管理策略(KMS)和变革型领导(TFL)可能是提高个人创造力的两个组成部分(领域相关技能和创造性思维技能)的方式，并研究知识共享(KS)的中介作用。在此基础上，提出了两个知识管理系统(法典化和个性化)、TFL和个人创造力两个组成部分之间关系的理论模型。然后使用偏最小二乘(PLS)对韩国42家公司的287名员工的调查数据集进行实证检验。TFL通过KS与领域相关技能和创造性思维技能显著相关。此外，通过KS，规范化和个性化策略仅间接与领域相关技能相关联。本文对知识管理体系的一种结果——知识管理体系对个体创造力的影响——进行了研究，这在以前的研究中很大程度上是未被探索的。此外，它促进了将知识管理文献推向下一个阶段，在这个阶段，知识管理实践的影响是一个偶然和上下文问题。
