Sharing Behavior

Purpose This study aims to focus on a particular type of intra-organizational knowledge sharing that is referred to as peer knowledge sharing. This paper examines how peer knowledge sharing impacts firms’ financial and innovation performance, and the mechanism through which such a relationship is realized. The study also evaluates the extent to which leadership support acts as a key antecedent to peer knowledge sharing. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on social capital theory and a knowledge-based view of firms, a theoretical model and related hypotheses are presented for testing. A survey design methodology is used to collect data and test the model. Structural equation modeling is used to test the hypothesized relationships based on data collected from 330 knowledge workers in various service-based organizations in Turkey. Findings The results indicate that the extent of employees’ engagement in knowledge sharing behavior with their peers and their managers’ leadership support exert a positive impact on organizations’ knowledge management success, which, in turn, can affect organizations’ innovation performance positively and, subsequently, their financial performance. Leadership support of the immediate manager is found to be an important factor that contributes to the respondent’s peer knowledge sharing behavior. The proposed model’s invariance testing between male and female respondents revealed that peer knowledge sharing’s contribution to knowledge management success may be different in the two groups. Research limitations/implications This study contributes to extant research on knowledge sharing by specifically focusing on peer knowledge sharing and reinforcing leadership support’s importance on knowledge sharing. The study also highlights the importance of knowledge management success as an important mediator necessary for linking individual knowledge management behaviors, such as peer knowledge sharing, with organizational performance. Originality/value Knowledge sharing is a topic of continuing interest for organizational researchers, yet limited empirical research has been conducted that links individual-level, intra-organizational knowledge sharing to organizational performance. This study examines this linkage and provides empirical support for this relationship, while simultaneously pointing to an important type of knowledge sharing that occurs within organizations, referred to as peer knowledge sharing.

Motivated by differences in the intensity of innovation across national economies, this paper presents an empirical examination of the determinants of a firm's likelihood to invest in different innovation intensity levels in both France and Croatia which represent developed and developing countries, respectively. We used a theoretical framework, which considers the firm's characteristics, internal strategic behaviours and external strategic features, to guide an empirical exploration into the determinants of innovation performance across two countries. The comparison between results from France and Croatia indicates that the incentives of the innovation activities differ between two countries mainly due to a firm's characteristics (size) and external strategic features (export and firm performance). On the other hand, firm's internal strategic behaviours (quality strategy, environmental strategy, R&D and training) have the same role in innovation performance improvement in both developed and developing countries. Consequently, we conclude that managers of firms should customise strategies which aim to improve innovation performance according to the specificities of national economies.

The intensity and directions of knowledge flows between different actors are essential determinants in innovation. Knowledge acquisition is needed to find the relevant signals from markets, and knowledge sharing can facilitate benefits from network externalities and collaboration. A deeper understanding of the dynamics within knowledge transfer is, however, still needed. Thus, our goal is to clarify the effects of knowledge sharing on innovative performance. We test our model with a sample of 299 medium-sised and large Finnish companies. Our multi-way ANOVA results indicate that the level of innovation performance varies between the knowledge sources and the types of knowledge sharing.

This research is an explanatory research with a quantitative approach, which aims to test and analyze a research model where Human Capital and Social Capital predicts Human Resource Performance (HR) with Digital Knowledge Sharing as an intervening variable. The population in this study were 206 State Civil Apparatus (ASN) of 4 SKPD in the Rembang Regency Government. There were 102 ASN respondents who filled out and completed the research questionnaire. The collected data is processed using the SEM concept with the SmartPLS 3.0 Program, with the results of the study proving that the Variables of Human Capital, Social Capital and Digital Knowledge Sharing each have a significant positive effect on the Performance of Human Resources (HR), and Digital Knowledge Sharing partially mediates the influence of Social Capital on Human Resource Performance.Keywords : Human Capital, Social Capital, Digital Knowledge Sharing, and Human Resource Performance (HR)

This thesis reviews and fully understands the current situation of J pharmaceutical according to a empirical research,which has been carried out by corresponding investigation and research on the design of questionnaires for Jingfeng Pharmaceutical's investment in innovation resources, the construction of innovation capabilities, digital transformation, innovation environment adaptation and facing, and innovation performance improvement. After research, it is found that there is a lot of space for improvement in the adaptation and facing of the innovation environment of J pharmaceutical, and the construction of innovation ability is also a short board. The digital transformation needs to be broken through urgently. Enhance J pharmaceutical innovation ability, comprehensively build J pharmaceutical innovation ability of culturally, technically, and managerially; Accelerate digital transformation, and then continue to increase the input of key resources, especially the training and introduction of talents, and key facilities.

The Relationship

Knowledge economy era is an era driven by innovation, mainly based on the input of intangible assets which plays decisive roles in the long-term development of enterprises. The product value of enterprises is largely determined by their intellectual capital. Therefore, as pillars of China’s economy, construction enterprises must strengthen their investments in intellectual capital, and to achieve competitiveness in the market, enterprises must share knowledge with the other members of their networks. This study explores the relationship among the intellectual capital, knowledge sharing, and innovation performance of construction enterprises and the mediating effect of knowledge sharing on the relationship between intellectual capital and innovation performance by using data collected from a questionnaire survey. These data are analyzed along with the aforementioned relationships by using SPSS and a structural equation model. The findings indicate that intellectual capital not only has a direct positive influence on the innovation performance of construction enterprises but also positively affects their innovation performance through knowledge sharing. This paper concludes by presenting its limitations and the implications of its findings.
