Answer to Question #171458 in Management for Victor Campbell

Question

Managers are able to influence employee’s behavior partly through subjective norms, which affect the attitudes toward knowledge sharing within a company. Bock et al identify a number of potentially salient (individual and organizational) motivational factors to knowledge sharing practices. As a manager, how do you stimulate and therefore enhance the willingness of your employees to actively share their knowledge in the organization?

Answer 1

Knowledge sharing is the procedure of conveying implicit (unrecorded) and clear (recorded) information from one individual to another. In a business, sharing knowledge enhances efficiency and empowers the personnel to do their work efficiently and professionally.

Workers can work faster and cooler by receiving easy access to essential resources, insights, and proficiency. One of the most effective techniques that the organization can unravel the benefits of sharing knowledge is embedding it within the organizational culture.

Here are some effective ways that I can apply to enhance knowledge sharing across and within our organization.

• Inspiring and nurturing the right frame of mind
• Creating spaces for sharing knowledge to take place
• Inspiring numerous procedures of knowledge sharing
• Leading by example
• Having professionals share their information and areas of expertise.
• I intend to formalize the process of knowledge sharing within all departments.
• I plan to use the most effective tools to share knowledge.
