Team Knowledge Sharing Scale 团队知识分享量表

简介

Knowledge sharing is one of the knowledge activities of particular importance in R&D teams, which enhances team efficiency and engages the team in articulating and evaluating knowledge as it explores new ideas and develops creative solutions (cf. Haas & Hansen, 2005; von Krogh et al., 2000). Team knowledge sharing refers to activities that aid the transfer of knowledge among team members (Jackson et al., 2006); it helps a team remember and exploit lessons learned and solve technical problems more effectively by ensuring that existing knowledge flows among team members with different types of specialized and distinct expertise (grant, 1996).

To measure the extent to which team members shared their special knowledge and expertise with others in their team, team leaders responded to a seven-item scale, of which four items were adapted from Faraj and Sproull (2000) and three items were developed specifically for this study. Leaders were asked to rate the level of knowledge sharing for the entire team, and all items used “team” as the referent. For items adapted from published measures in other languages, back-translation procedures (Brislin, 1980) were followed.

Chang et al. (2016) collected data from R&D employees and team leaders in firms in the information technology industry and they matched 172 leader surveys (1 leader per team) with 826 member surveys for 172 teams in these 34 participating firms from a variety of information technology sectors. The average number of participating teams per firm was 5.06 (Median = 5, SD = 3.03, with a range of 3 to 20). The average number of member respondents per team was 4.80 (Median = 5, SD = 1.27, with a range of 3 to 10).
