AbstractInnovation failure knowledge sharing plays an important role in reducing the probability of repeated failure of subsequent innovation and improving innovation ability of virtual research organization. However, it is very difficult for members to actively share the innovation failure knowledge without incentives. To promote the sharing behavior of innovation failure knowledge in virtual research organization, by using game theory, considering the risk aversion degree of members and the negative effect of fault-tolerance environment, the incentive model of innovation failure knowledge sharing of virtual research organization was constructed, the incentive relationship of innovation failure knowledge sharing between organization and its members under the influence of different states was analyzed, and the theoretical model was simulated and verified through a case study from China. Results show that: (1) without considering the negative effect of fault-tolerant environment, the optimal incentive coefficient of innovation failure knowledge sharing is positively related to the shareable rate and the transformation ability of innovation failure knowledge of members, and negatively related to the sharing cost and risk aversion degree of members; (2) considering the negative effect of fault-tolerant environment, virtual research organization should make a corresponding modification of sharing incentive intensity according to the estimation of tolerance degree to fault-tolerant environment by itself and its members, so as to reduce the knowledge input of organization. The findings obtained from this study provide a novel idea and method for the design of incentive mechanism of innovation failure knowledge sharing of virtual research organization.

The purpose of this study is to develop a model that relates directly and indirectly to the performance achievement of Free Trade Zone Development Agency in Indonesia including the construct of strategic planning and the role of innovation as mediation in supporting the relationship of independent variables and dependent variable. The proposed mpdel was tested using SmartPLS ver. 3.0 for data processing. Data was collected from questionnaires completed by 109 samples who were seating as executives/head of department of Free Trade Zone Development Agencies in Indonesia. The four hypotheses tested in this study conclude that the construct of strategic planning has negative effect and not significant to the performance of the agencies, but indirectly has a significant effect on performance if it through innovation as a mediation. Strategic planning directly have significant relation on innovation, and innovation also evidenced to have strong influence in achieving organization performance. This study indicates that the Agency may achieve great performance when they can practically set up a strategic planning and optimize innovation ability within the organization.

Tacit knowledge sharing is the basis and prerequisite of knowledge innovation. In this paper the incentive mechanism of tacit knowledge sharing is proposed to improve tacit knowledge sharing. Firstly, game theory is introduced, and then we analyze the knowledge sharing and mechanism. Finally, Static and repeated game models of knowledge sharing are constructed. The results indicate that infinite repeated game can solve “Prisoner's dilemma” of knowledge sharing in the one-time game.

Sharing knowledge and firm innovation are the crucial ways to sustain competitive advantage. This study builds a nested model to test the relationship between learning organization, knowledge-sharing behavior, and firm innovation. Data gathered from 254 employees were used to examine the relationship of the learning organization to employees' knowledge-sharing behavior and firm innovation. The results indicate that open-mindedness, shared vision and trust have positive effects on both knowledge-sharing behavior and firm innovation. While commitment to learning does not shows significant relationship on knowledge-sharing behavior and firm innovation. Communication has significance on firm innovation but not significance on knowledge-sharing behavior.

Electronic monitoring is more and more widespread and affects many employees around the globe. The current meta analysis collected data of 59 independent samples (with 223 effect sizes) to estimate the effect of electronic monitoring on job satisfaction, stress, and performance. A random-effects model indicated a small negative effect of monitoring on job satisfaction, r=-.09, and a small positive effect on stress, r=.12. There was no relationship with performance, r=-.01. Even if the effects of monitoring on job satisfaction and stress are small, taking the large number of employees who are monitored for several hours a day into account, these effects may have a severe and negative impact on employees’ well-being. Performance maintenance is the main justification for the use of electronic monitoring, but the non-existing relationship of monitoring with performance questions the validity of this justification.
