| Summary: | 博士 === 元智大學 === 管理學院博士班 === 105 === In the past, scholars indicated that the knowledge sharing is increased in organizations in terms of information system of knowledge sharing. However, it didn’t have the consistent results. We argued that individuals are the real carriers of knowledge whose knowledge sharing is evaluated in both aspects of the positive relationship (e.g. friendship and trust) and negative relationship (e.g. competition and envy). Among the relationship of duality, negative relationship to the knowledge sharing is more influential to the result of knowledge sharing due to individual’s strong perceptions to the negative feelings. Thus, the theories of social comparison are employed to explore the social exchange behavior-- knowledge sharing among individuals, to indicate the various possible results led by the negative relationship to knowledge sharing in various conditions.
Moreover, questionnaires are designed for its data-collection in this paper. The survey on the employees in a unit of A insurance company is a sample in November of 2015. There are totally 40 questionnaires received; excluding 6 incomplete or ineffective questionnaires, there are 34 effective questionnaires as a result. The social network analysis is used to analyze the results of 1156 pair data in terms of the pair data as the unit of analysis.
According to the results of analysis, values trust, ability trust as well as common language were positive-significantly related to knowledge sharing. The relationship between ability trust and knowledge sharing was negative moderated by competition. Envy is a negative factor moderating the relationship between the ability trust and common language respectively to knowledge sharing. However, it is worthy to note that individuals are highly possible giving knowledge sharing to others due to keen competition and envy, even if the values trust, ability trust and common language are perceived low. Therefore, that is to say, the results of negative relation- competition and envy may fill in the gap of the theories of social comparison and shed light on future research of negative research.
