  • 基於理性行為理論,這份研究主要是在調查個人知識分享的態度及主觀性規範對知識分享行為的影響。我們用結構方程式模型作為我們主要的研究方法。 五種變數包含激勵、信任、關係強度、豐富的管道及吸收能力等變數並用來調查其是否會影響個人知識分享的態度。在主觀性規範方面,研究中則使用組織文化來做調查。大部分的樣本來自高科技產業。 結構性的調查方式則用來測試知識分享的態度與五種變數之間的關係。然後接著測試組織文化與主觀性規範的關係。研究結果顯示激勵, 信任與豐富的管道對於知識分享的態度是沒有影響的,而其他兩個變數則有顯著的影響。 組織文化則對主觀性規範有顯著的影響,尤其是以支持型文化最為顯著,但是官僚型文化出乎我們假設的意料之外。 官僚型文化在我們的研究中對於主觀性規範有正面的且顯著影響。最後我們再次證實了理性行為理論是一個非常好的理論模型。

    Based on the theory of reasoned action, this study is focused on the individual behavior of knowledge sharing, investigating their attitude towards knowledge sharing, and subjective norm which is examined by organizational culture. We apply SEM analysis to our major analysis method. There are five variables examined as influential factors to affect people's attitude towards knowledge sharing, namely, incentive, absorptive capacity, trust, channel richness and strength of ties. Most of our samples collect from Hi-Tech industry. In a structural survey, we test the relationships between the attitude and the five variables. Then, we test the relationships between organizational culture and subjective norm. The results show that incentive, trust and channel richness indicate no influence on individual attitude towards knowledge sharing while the other two factors play a significant part. In addition, Organizational culture has significant influence upon subjective norm, especially supportive culture. However, Bureaucratic organizational culture does not accord to our hypotheses owing to its positive effect upon subjective norm. Consequently, we validate TRA was a great model to application in our research.
