Abstract
Drawing upon the trait activation theory, this paper explains team performance from a mediating perspective of knowledge application, which represents a teamwork process of knowledge management. The empirical results of this study reveal that knowledge application mediates the negative relationship between power distance and team performance and the positive relationship between flexibility orientation and team performance. Teamwork engagement moderates the relationship between learning goal orientation and knowledge application and the relationship between flexibility orientation and knowledge application. Finally, team familiarity moderates the relationship between flexibility orientation and knowledge application. Research implications and limitations are also discussed herein.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning.
The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
