This research aims to verify individual and organizational factors that will affect knowledge sharing, especially in research & development organizations with a premise that knowledge sharing is one of the most important factors of successful knowledge management. Many factors which are supposed to affect knowledge sharing arc empirically investigated in this research : individual factors ((1)self esteem (2)expected contribution), organizational factors ((3)top management's will, (4)accessibility of knowledge management system (5)validity of evaluation & reward knowledge sharing, (6)trust, (7)open communication). As a result, it is found that 'expected contribution' among individual factors and 'open communication' and 'validity of evaluation & reward' among organizational factors are highly correlated with knowledge sharing. These findings suggest that enhancement of perceived expected contribution among employees and building cultures of open communication and effective evaluation & reward system for knowledge sharing will contribute to activation of knowledge sharing in the research and development organizations.

Knowledge management is considered an important factor for competitive advantage and sustainability for firms. As many knowledge management systems failed to achieve the desired results, enterprise social media (ESM) has received considerable attention as an alternative solution for knowledge sharing within a firm. This paper attempts to investigate the influence of various aspects of ESM on knowledge sharing. While previous literature mainly focused on structural aspects of ESM, this study focuses on social psychological aspects, such as social connectedness, social awareness, and social presence, along with reputational aspects (such as self-presentation). Further, in order to clarify knowledge sharing behavior, this study classifies knowledge sharing behavior into two categories, knowledge contribution and knowledge acquisition. The data used in this study was collected from 179 individuals who have experience in their own ESM. The results show that both social connectedness and self-presentation positively influence the two types of knowledge sharing behavior, i.e., acquisition and contribution. Meanwhile, social awareness turns out to be a significant determinant of knowledge contribution only. Contrary to our expectations, however, social presence does not significantly influence knowledge sharing behavior.

지식경영을 도입함에 있어서 조직 구성원들의 자발적인 지식 공유활동을 활성화시키기 위해서는 무엇보다도 구성원들의 동기유발 방식을 변화시킬 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 지식 기여에 대한 공정한 평가와 적절한 보상체계의 수립은 매우 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 지식경영을 도입한 국내 기업체 및 전문 연구기관에서의 지식 기여에 따른 평가와 보상과 관련한 문헌분석 및 실제 사례분석을 토대로 지식 기여에 대한 바람직한 평가 및 보상 모형, 즉 가설을 설정하였다. 아울러 설정된 가설을 토대로 한국원자력연구소를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시함으로써 전문 연구기관에서의 지식 기여에 대한 평가 및 보상에 대한 구성원들의 반응도를 조사 분석하였다. 본 연구의 분석결과는 지식경영을 도입하고자 하는 전문 연구기관에서 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose Virtual communities (VCs) are becoming ever more important in these days, sometimes more than offline communities. Notably, they have become significant sources of knowledge sharing. Therefore, in order to foster a VC, it is very important to understand why people share their knowledge in the VC. Under this background, this paper aims at proposing the behavioral model best explains knowledge sharing activities in VCs. Design/methodology/approach We basically design our behavioral model for knowledge sharing in VCs based on theory of reasoned action (TRA). However, to understand knowledge sharing in VCs better, we specify knowledge sharing by dividing it into knowledge contribution and knowledge use. Also, instead of 'subjective norm', we adopt 'sense of virtual community (SOVC)' as a main social factor, which has been found to be important in the literature. We also include the antecedents such as 'quality of the shared knowledge', 'trust in community members', 'passion of the community leader', 'reciprocity', and 'self efficacy', which affect VC users' attitude towards knowledge sharing and SOVC. To test the hypotheses in our proposed model, we collected 253 valid surveys from the VC users. Structural equation modeling (SEM) using AMOS 23 is employed to assess the relationships proposed as the hypotheses. Findings Major findings are as follows. SOVC positively affects both intention to contribute knowledge and intention to use knowledge. And, trust in community members positively affects the attitude towards knowledge use and SOVC. The attitude towards knowledge use is also affected by the quality of the shared knowledge. Reciprocity is found to strongly positively affect the attitude towards knowledge contribution. However, passion of the community leader and self efficacy are found to have insignificant effect on SOVC and the attitude towards knowledge contribution respectively. Our study sheds a light on how to foster VCs from the perspective of knowledge management.

본 연구에서는 온라인 지식 커뮤니티에서의 지식기여에 대한 태도와 지식기여 의도에 영향을 미치는 내재적 및 외재적 동기요인의 통합모형을 분석하였다. 온라인 지식 커뮤니티에서의 지식기여에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 내재적 동기요인으로는 즐거움, 지식 자기역능감, 책임감을, 외재적 동기요인으로는 기대 상호이익, 이미지, 주관적 규범을 도출하고, 이 요인들 간의 구조적 관계가 지식기여에 대한 태도와 나아가 지식기여 의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 내재적 동기요인 중 즐거움과 지식 자기역능감이 지식기여에 대한 태도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 책임감은 유의한 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 외재적 동기요인 중 기대 상호이익은 지식기여에 대한 태도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 이미지와 주관적 규범은 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

최근 들어 우리나라는 제조업 부문의 투자와 고용이 부진하여 잠재성장률이 둔화되는 가운데 신성장동력 및 일자리 창출부문으로서 지식서비스의 역할에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산출 및 고용측면에서 1995년에서 2010년까지의 기간 동안 우리나라의 지식서비스산업의 구조변화 양상을 분석함으로써 지식서비스산업이 경제성장 및 고용창출에 어느 정도의 기여를 하고 있는지를 살펴보고 지식서비스산업 육성을 위한 정책방향을 제시하였다. 지식서비스산업은 여타 산업에 비하여 총산출과 고용의 규모면에 있어서 국가전체에서 차지하는 비중은 그다지 크지 않지만, 타 산업에 비하여 가장 빠른 성장 속도를 보이고 있어서 우리나라의 총산출 증가와 고용 창출에 큰 기여를 한 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 산출증가율과 성장기여도는 점차 하락하고 있어서 지식서비스가 앞으로도 지속적으로 성장동력 및 고용창출에 기여하기 위해서는 생산성 증대를 위한 특별 대책이 요구된다.

The degree to which people share knowledge has major impacts on the effectiveness of virtual community of practice (VCoP). As an extension to the previous study which investigated the effect of individual cooperative types (cooperator, reciprocator, and free rider) on knowledge sharing, it is investigated how much increase in the degree of cooperation will enhance knowledge sharing when there are more knowledge contributors and strong ties exist across the community. Simulation method is adopted to measure the effect of the cooperative type and tie strength on knowledge sharing. The results reveal that the tie strength positively affects knowledge contribution in VCoP and strongly tied VCoP generates equivalent level of knowledge contribution as that of weakly-tied VCoP with 5% more contributors.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between knowledge sharing and academic performance in the context of quality-assurance related work. It furthermore aims to explore the role of information technology in mediating this relationship. Quantitative method was applied to collect data from the participants using an online-based questionnaire. Convenience sampling technique was used. The responses were collected from 140 participants in a university from Saudi Arabia. The study found a strong positive relationship between knowledge sharing and individual performance. It was also found out that information technology partially mediates the relationship between knowledge sharing and individual performance. The research unearths the significant contribution made by information technology in mediating the relationship between individual-level knowledge sharing and the individual performance. This helps to understand the positive impacts on individual work performance in institutions of higher education that would be derived if individuals use various forms of IT to share knowledge. The focus of the research is the individual performance as the pertinent contribution towards positive outcomes in institutional performance.

The various research on Communities of practices (CoP) for propagation of softer type knowledge in new Knowledge Management (KM) strategy having been performed for past couple of years. CoP is one of effective process innovation tool for diffusion of knowledge. Based on CoP's voluntary and spontaneous characteristic, it performs a function of delivering softer type knowledge of workers to the other colleagues of organization. But one step further to CoP's function of propagation of internal knowledge, research on function of CoP's contribution in enterprise strategy are insufficient yet. This paper presents enterprise CoP should be managed and aligned to strategic objectives of enterprise, and also, suggests the methodology for CoPs to maintain a lifecycle as a tool to contribute in strategic goal attainment. Although CoPs are voluntary and spontaneous informal organization, it can display a contribution as tool for KM strategy when it is aligned to strategy properly and form efficient lifecycle.
