Resumo: | Knowledge creation is a prominent theme within the knowledge management field, thus questions arises regarding which factors facilitate SECI. Researchers have investigated knowledge creation enablers, in isolation, at different level of analysis (i.e., organization level). To fill this gap, this paper develops a multilevel research design. As teams have emerged as a key unit of functioning, this research aims not only to examine the effects of individual and team-level enablers on team-level SECI, but also to develop two scales to measure SECI at both levels of analysis, consequently providing integration to a fragmented body of research. The model includes four facilitators: intrinsic motivation, individual-level LMX, team-level trust and team-level LMX. Furthermore, individual-level SECI is studied as a promoter of individual creativity. Analyses of a multi-source data obtained from 431 team-members who worked in 59 teams, in 51 companies based in Lisbon, London and Maputo, showed that team-level trust has a cross-level moderating effect on the positive relationship of individuallevel LMX on team-level SECI. The results may be used for further empirical research and as guide to the use of individual and team processes as a vehicle to improve SECI, in team settings. Furthermore, findings suggest that the developed scale is a reliable measure of SECI, which can help organizations diagnose knowledge creation and sharing practices in teams and develop strategies accordingly. |

Os investigadores têm estudado as variáveis que facilitam a criação de conhecimento, de forma isolada, em diferentes níveis de análise (ex., nível organizacional). Para preencher esta lacuna, este estudo desenvolve um modelo multinível. Uma vez que as equipas surgiram como uma unidade fundamental de funcionamento, este estudo tem como objetivo não só analisar os efeitos que fatores a nível individual e de equipa têm sobre o SECI, mas também desenvolver duas escalas para medir o SECI nos dois níveis, consequentemente, integrando esta área de estudo. O modelo inclui quatro facilitadores: motivação intrínseca, LMX a nível individual, confiança de equipa e LMX a nível de equipa. Adicionalmente, o a nível individual SECI é estudado como um promotor da criatividade individual. Análises de um conjunto de dados multi-source obtidos a partir de 431 colaboradores originários de 59 equipas, mostraram que a confiança de equipa modera a relação positiva entre o LMX a nível individual com o SECI a nível de equipa. Os resultados podem ser utilizados para pesquisas futuras e como linhas orientadoras para o uso de processos individuais e de equipa, como veículos para melhorar o SECI, a nível da equipa. Além disso, os resultados sugerem que a escala desenvolvida é uma medida confiável do SECI, podendo assim ajudar as organizações a diagnosticar a criação e partilha de conhecimento nas equipas e desenvolver estratégias em conformidade.2016-06-21T16:35:48Z2015-01-01T00:00:00Z20152015-12info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/11531TID:201193280engBaldé, Mariama Maria Spencer Embalóinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:37:52Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/11531Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:17:17.079095Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
