This systematic review aims to explore how organizational communication (OC) and knowledge management (KM) intersect. In this research, a systematic literature review was conducted according to the PRISMA recommendations. The collected data underwent content analysis using open and axial coding. The indicators show that internal communication and knowledge sharing (KS) processes are the most frequently studied areas in relation to the interaction between OC and KM. However, a few studies have explored any other processes, highlighting the need for more research in this area. The few studies that examine the interaction between KM and OC tend to focus solely on KS within companies. However, this study reveals the potential for KS to be applied to the communication and relationships between organizations and their stakeholders.</p>","PeriodicalId":46428,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge and Process Management","volume":"31 2","pages":"157-168"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139006707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on equity theory, we built a model that explains how and why occupational instrumentality moderates the mediatory role of knowledge hiding on the relationship between POQ and service delivery performance in the tourism and hospitality industry. Underlying this model is the notion that employees' POQ is the cause of knowledge hiding and poor service delivery performance and occupational instrumentality is the diffuser in the tourism and hospitality context. Data were obtained from employees in the aviation sector and analyzed with the PLS-SEM technique. The findings indicate that POQ directly influences employees' knowledge hiding behavior, but this behavior does not significantly impact their service delivery performance. Knowledge hiding does not act as a mediating factor between POQ and service delivery performance. In other words, knowledge hiding does not explain the link between feeling overqualified and poor service delivery performance. Interestingly, it was observed that the effect of POQ on knowledge hiding is stronger when employees have a strong sense of occupational instrumentality. This suggests that even when employees value the contributions of their current role to their future occupation and career, they are still inclined to resort to knowledge hiding as a response to POQ.

Despite the rising importance of absorptive capacity in knowledge management and innovation literature, there has been limited focus on its dimensions, such as knowledge acquisition, assimilation, and transformation, particularly in relation to intellectual capital (IC) and innovative performance. This research unravels the mediating role played by the dimensions of absorptive capacity in connecting IC to innovative performance. This research offers a novel combination of individual mediation effects of absorptive capacity components on the relationship between IC and innovative performance. Data for this cross-sectional research were gathered from 295 organizations through a Likert scale questionnaire. This research employs partial least square-structural equation modeling to analyze the individual mediating pathways of absorptive capacity. This study shows that knowledge acquisition adversely influences the relationship between IC and innovative performance, which challenges conventional wisdom. Conversely, all other mediation paths, including knowledge assimilation, transformation, and exploitation, exhibit a positive influence on innovative performance.

This paper follows an interpretive qualitative research approach to identify how 13 regional Australian SMEs from four sparsely populated regional areas use OSNs to enable knowledge sharing and the development of social capital. Our empirical findings classified regional Australian SMEs' use of OSNs into three categories: low, medium, and high, while also identifying OSN use opportunities. We propose four propositions related to OSN adoption and use to share knowledge and develop SC: (i) implementing an OSN adoption and use strategy as part of a larger digital strategy, (ii) investing in and adopting a variety of OSN channels for knowledge sharing, (iii) gradually replacing face-to-face knowledge sharing with OSNs, and (iv) controlling the sharing of competitive SME knowledge when using different OSN channels.

The objective of this paper is to begin a probe into the use of experimental research in knowledge management (KM). After sketching an image of the nature of experimental research and its advantages, the paper details the results of an analysis of experimental research in the KM literature. The top 20 KM journals were searched in Scopus and Web of Science for any mention of the term “experiment.” In total, 43 papers were identified based on their use of experimental methods and human participants. These studies were coded for purpose, research questions, hypotheses, operationalization of variables, sample parameters, and statistical analysis methods. There appeared to be little evidence for a dedicated and sustained use of experimental research methods. Virtually all studies relied heavily on self-report questionnaires as the main data collection tool rather than direct behavioral measures. Potential implications are that KM journals may want to elicit and encourage more experimental research, and researchers interested in using experimental methods may want to forge multidisciplinary partnerships, for instance, with experimental psychologists. The implication for KM methodological pedagogy is to further promote and integrate experimental methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":46428,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge and Process Management","volume":"31 1","pages":"60-68"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/kpm.1764","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47770354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected from 691 employees working in 15 North American credit unions. The model was developed and tested by means of the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling technique. This study illuminates an underexplored mechanism driving the association between transformational leadership and business performance based on several theoretical frameworks such as leader–member exchange theory, the conservation of resources theory, the heuristic model of employee turnover, equity theory, and capital-based view. The findings indicate that transformational leaders provide their subordinates with constructive feedback and offer training and development (T&D) opportunities, which are the key factors driving employee job satisfaction. Employee job satisfaction curtails turnover intention, which, in turn, reduces human capital outflow and, consequently, increases business performance. Managers should always act as true transformational leaders and provide their subordinates with relevant performance feedback and ample T&D opportunities. Workers who undergo T&D at the expense of their organization become more loyal and are less likely to leave even though they become more marketable. Organizations are recommended to administer periodic employee satisfaction surveys and prevent the exodus of human capital, which may be difficult to replenish.</p>","PeriodicalId":46428,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge and Process Management","volume":"31 1","pages":"48-59"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/kpm.1763","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41266019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
