Prior research has indicated that knowledge sharing and protection are often viewed as incompatible or even contradictory organizational behaviors. This study presents a more comprehensive theoretical framework that takes into account both knowledge sharing and protection. To investigate the relationships between influential antecedent factors and collaborative performance outcomes, we conducted a survey involving 247 knowledge-intensive manufacturing companies in China. The study contributes to the field by developing a conceptual model for understanding knowledge sharing and protection, and it also provides practical value through the introduction of “Knowledge Sharing and Protection Guidelines.” These guidelines are designed to assist enterprises in enhancing their individual performance, expanding their market share, and bolstering their competitiveness. Simultaneously, they aim to foster innovation and create market advantages for all stakeholders engaged in interorganizational collaboration, ultimately leading to improvement in overall performance.","PeriodicalId":46428,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge and Process Management","volume":"31 2","pages":"140-156"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135868946","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}

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. Furthermore, this study also offers valuable managerial implications and suggests potential areas for future research.","PeriodicalId":46428,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge and Process Management","volume":"31 2","pages":"128-139"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135973830","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}

However, there is scant research on regional Australian SMEs use of online social networks (OSNs) to network and develop social capital. 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. These findings are significant to encourage regional Australian SMEs to adopt and use OSN to improve innovation opportunities through networking and collaboration in an increasingly digitalized realm.","PeriodicalId":46428,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge and Process Management","volume":"31 1","pages":"69-80"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/kpm.1765","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134885184","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}

Max Evans","doi":"10.1002/kpm.1764","DOIUrl":"10.1002/kpm.1764","url":null,"abstract":"At the heart of any healthy field are explicit theories and concerted efforts to test these theories. In the traditional “textbook” conceptualization of science, the main avenue for developing and testing theory is experimental research, a tool that enables investigators to filter out the noise in order to draw logically valid inferences and conclusions. 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.","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.","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}

We use network theory and analytical techniques to construct boards of directors' intrafirm knowledge networks based on directors' functional domain and committee affiliations. We demonstrate the utility of this approach for governance research by examining the intrafirm knowledge network of the board of directors of General Electric and offer testable propositions that link key director turnover with the properties of and the structural changes in the board's knowledge network and the firm outcomes of strategic change and innovativeness. Our approach bridges the human and social capital perspectives on boards of directors by considering the mechanisms through which turnover of key directors influences firm-level outcomes. Directors are increasingly expected to not only fulfill their monitoring responsibilities but also provide firms with resources and service (e.g., involvement in strategy-making). The enactment of these responsibilities is contingent on the effective collaboration within board intrafirm networks. Our conceptualization of intrafirm board ties as a knowledge network can help practitioners identify key directors, analyze the implications of director turnover, and develop succession plans. We make important contributions to corporate governance research and offer insights into understanding the knowledge dynamics in small team-like settings, such as boards of directors and their impact on firm strategy and innovativeness.","PeriodicalId":46428,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge and Process Management","volume":"31 1","pages":"33-47"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47848098","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}

However, there remains a notable dearth of studies examining the association between servant leadership (SL) and employees' objective innovative performance. To bridge this research gap, this study adopts a dual theoretical lens, integrating the Conservation of Resource Theory and Social Exchange Theory, to explore the impact of SL on innovative performance specifically in the context of higher education institutions. In addition, this research endeavors to elucidate the mediating roles of subjective well-being and knowledge sharing in the relationship between SL style and innovative performance. To this end, data were collected from employees and their peers in higher education institutions, and a partial least square (PLS)-based structural equation modeling technique was used for analysis. The findings reveal a positive association between SL and employees' innovative performance. Furthermore, subjective well-being significantly mediates the relationship between SL and innovative performance, while knowledge sharing has a trivial mediating effect. This study contributes to the literature by addressing the research gap in understanding the role of SL in enhancing innovative performance in higher education. The insights gained from this research can provide managers with valuable guidance on leveraging SL to foster employees' innovative performance.","PeriodicalId":46428,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge and Process Management","volume":"31 1","pages":"3-16"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47863810","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}
