Team Knowledge Sharing

Given that work teams have been widely used in a variety of organizations to complete critical tasks and that the use of social media in work teams has been growing, investigating whether and how team social media usage (TSMU) affects team creativity is imperative. However, little research has empirically explored how TSMU affects team creativity. This study divides TSMU into two categories, namely, work-related TSMU and relationship-related TSMU. Basing on communication visibility theory and social exchange theory, this study constructs a moderating mediation model to understand how TSMU affects team creativity. In this model, team knowledge sharing is used as mediating role and team-member exchange (TMX) is used as moderating role. Two-wave research data collected from 641 employees in 102 work teams in Chinese organizations are used for regression analysis. Results show that (1) Work-related TSMU and relationship-related TSMU are positively affect team creativity. (2) Team knowledge sharing plays a partly mediating effect on the relationship between work-related TSMU and team creativity and that between relationship-related TSMU and team creativity. (3) TMX not only positively moderates the indirect effect of work-related TSMU and relationship-related TSMU on team creativity through team knowledge sharing. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.

The Relationship

Using a real case with 466 employees, we investigated the relationships among knowledge sharing (KS), service innovation, leader-member exchange (LMX) quality, team-member exchange (TMX) quality, and trust in Taiwan's international tourist hotels. The empirical results demonstrated that LMX quality and TMX quality mediated the relationship between KS and service innovation, and that trust moderated the relationship between KS and both LMX quality and TMX quality. These findings can be applied to improve communication among employees, enhance knowledge sharing, and promote service innovation.

Psicología Positiva

Este artículo se centra en el estudio del impacto del capital psicológico de los subalternos de un equipo en otros importantes factores, como son el apoyo entre los miembros del grupo de trabajo y el efecto mediador de la capacidad de aprendizaje organizacional, ubicándose en el punto focal de la nueva tendencia de la psicología empresarial aplicada al desempeño de los equipos y de las organizaciones. En un sentido específico, se estudia la relación entre el Capital psicológico (PsyCap, Psychological Capital) de los individuos, el apoyo intra-grupo (TMX, por sus siglas en inglés, Team Member Exchange) y la Capacidad de Aprendizaje Organizacional (OLC, Organization Lerning Capability). Entendiendo PsyCap como un constructo de cuatro elementos: esperanza, tenacidad o resiliencia, optimismo y autoeficacia, todos ellos dimensiones del individuo correspondientes a la nueva psicología positiva del desempeño empresarial, el TMX como la cohesión y entendimiento entre los miembros de un equipo de trabajo y la OLC como la competencia que se percibe en una organización para disponer el aprendizaje de sus colaboradores, el estudio se realiza sobre los equipos de trabajo en proceso de formación basada en proyectos, en el Centro de Biotecnología industrial del SENA en la ciudad de Palmira en el Valle del Cauca en Colombia. La técnica de contraste estadístico empleada, Ecuaciones Estructurales, permitió la validación cuantitativa de las hipótesis cualitativas planteadas en el estudio. Los resultados obtenidos muestran una alta incidencia del nivel de OLC sobre el TMX, además de develar la forma en la que estas variables de la psicología empresarial positiva coadyuvan al desempeño organizacional.

Moderating Role

Drawing on studies of person-team fit and theory of team-member exchange, we examined the effect of fit versus misfit between a team member’s conscientiousness and his/her team’s composition of conscientiousness on the member’s knowledge sharing. We hypothesized that person-team conscientiousness fit would lead to more knowledge sharing because a member who fits his/her team with respect to conscientiousness tends to have similar achievement striving with the team and low exchange cost. Using the method of polynomial regression in two studies in different regions and research settings, we obtained consistent results that person-team conscientiousness fit is positively associated with a team member’s knowledge sharing. We further found that internal team environment moderates the relationship between person-team conscientiousness fit and knowledge sharing such that it makes the relationship weaker. Our study demonstrated that to better understand the effect of personality on knowledge sharing in teams, it is beneficial to simultaneously consider the interplay among member personality, team personality, and team contexts.
