摘要

在线知识共享(OKS)行为已经成为认识到知识是提高组织竞争优势的宝贵资源的关键和不可避免的组成部分。因此,本研究旨在调查在肯尼亚储蓄和贷款合作组织(SACCOs)的背景下,决定在线环境中OKS行为的组织因素。一项全面的文献综述显示,有限的研究已经从知识为基础的角度来调查组织因素在OKS行为中的作用。该研究采用定量和定性研究,通过三种数据收集工具收集和分析案例研究中的数据:在线自我管理问卷,主持人指南和访谈时间表。该研究的无障碍人群包括纳库鲁市选定SACCOs的485名员工。抽样245人进行调查,另抽样72名参与调查的雇员(每个SACCO各8人)参加焦点小组讨论。此外,8位高级管理人员参与了深度访谈。员工认为,有利于工作的环境和友好的组织文化是决定他们在组织中ok行为的关键因素。因此,本文认为,sacco制定能够改变工作环境和组织文化的战略,通过在线内部沟通(OIC)工具来增强员工的OKS行为是至关重要的。

Organisational factors as determinants for online knowledge-sharing behaviour
Online knowledge-sharing (OKS) behaviour has become a critical and inevitable component in recognising knowledge as a valuable resource to enhance an organisation’s competitive advantage. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the organisational factors that determine OKS behaviour in an online environment within the context of savings and loans cooperative organisations (SACCOs) in Kenya. A comprehensive literature review revealed that limited studies have been conducted to investigate the role of organisational factors in OKS behaviour from a knowledge-based perspective. The study used quantitative and qualitative research to collect and analyse data in a case study by means of three data collection instruments: online self-administered questionnaires, a moderator’s guide and an interview schedule. The accessible population of the study comprised 485 employees in selected SACCOs in Nakuru city. A sample of 245 was selected for the survey and another sample of 72 employees who participated in the survey (eight from each SACCO) was selected to take part in the focus group discussions. In addition, eight senior managers took part in the in-depth interviews. An environment conducive to working and a friendly organisational culture were identified by employees as the key determinates of their OKS behaviour in the organisation. Hence, it is argued that it is critical for SACCOs to develop strategies capable of modifying the working environment and organisational culture to enhance employees’ OKS behaviour through online internal communication (OIC) tools.
