| Summary: | 碩士 === 大葉大學 === 人力資源暨公共關係學系 === 106 === Nowadays, organizations frequently utilize team-based working structure to create competitive advantages because teamwork can have better performance than an individual working alone to improve organizational outcomes, such as productivity, innovation, and client satisfaction. Thus, understanding important factors that can influence the success of teamwork is crucial for the business operation. Previous studies have proved that team member’s self-efficacy, autonomy, collective efficacy, intrinsic motivation and knowledge sharing are vital elements to help team cooperation and performance. However, there is still a lack of a combined framework for testing relationships between aforementioned five elements. Therefore, the purpose of this study is trying to fill the research gap and aims at conducting a model, which combines above mentioned five variables, to investigate the mediator effect of intrinsic motivation on the influence of team member’s self-efficacy, collective efficacy and autonomy on knowledge sharing.
This study uses quantitative method to examine the research model and seven research hypotheses which are developed by literature review. Online survey is utilized for collecting data in different universities in the middle of Taiwan. A total of 393 questionnaires were collected but 297 valid questionnaires can be used for data analysis. This study tests research hypotheses by using correlation and regression. As expected, research hypotheses are all supported by quantitative data and the results show that (1) there is a positive relationship between self-efficacy and collective efficacy; (2) team member’s self-efficacy, collective efficacy and autonomy positively influence intrinsic motivation and knowledge sharing; and (3) intrinsic motivation has a partial mediating effect on the influences of self-efficacy, collective efficacy, and autonomy on knowledge sharing.
Finally, this study describes the research findings and limitations in details. Moreover, this study provides some recommendations for future research and business practice based on the research findings for making contribution to the organization and administrative sciences.
