Abstract

This research explores the role of personal performance expectation, task-technology fit, perceived rewards, shared vision, usefulness of knowledge sharing, top management support, organization culture, organizational commitment, KMS self-efficacy as antecedents which affect knowledge sharing activity as a consequence and investigates relationships among variables considering characteristics. The results show that members' perceived personal performance expectation, task-technology fit, perceived rewards, shared vision, usefulness of knowledge sharing, top management support, organization culture, organizational commitment, KMS self-efficacy has a positive effect perspectively on knowledge sharing in a organization. Especially, the fact that perceived members' task-technology fit, perceived rewards, usefulness of knowledge sharing is more important than other variables was confirmed. The results of this study, knowledge-sharing activities of the enterprise, members of the organization's business strategy for the activation process is expected to help.

본 연구는 조직 구성원의 지식공유 활동에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 여러 선행연구에 대한 이론적 고찰을 통해 개인적 성과기대, 업무-기술 적합성, 보상, 공유된 비전, 지식공유의 유용성, 최고경영자 지원, 조직문화, 조직몰입, KMS 자기효능 등을 각각 도출하였으며, 이들의 영향력 관계를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 업무-기술 적합성과 지각된 보상 그리고 지식공유의 유용성이 지식공유 활동에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 요인이라는 점을 확인할 수 있었으며, 개인적 성과기대와 공유된 비전의 직접적인 영향력은 확인하지 못하였다. 그러나 개인적 성과기대는 업무-기술 적합성을 경유한 간접적인 효과가, 공유된 비전은 지식공유의 유용성을 경유한 간접적인 효과가 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다. 조직적 특성으로 설정한 최고경영자 지원과 조직문화, 개인적 특성으로 설정한 조직몰입과 KMS 자기효능 역시 지식공유 활동 촉진요인을 경유하여 간접적으로 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 본 연구의 결과들은 기업내 조직구성원의 지식공유 활동의 활성화를 위한 기업 전략 수립과정에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.
