创造氛围对多层次知识创造的影响——跨层次研究模型

Study on the Effect of Creation Climate to Multiple-Level Knowledge Creation——A Cross-Level Model

随着知识经济时代的来临,知识日益成为组织竞争的焦点,企业知识创新能力成为企业最为重要的动态能力之一。在链式产业集群背景下,知识创造是个人、团队在公司与公司间分享显性知识和隐性知识的多层次动态过程,涉及因素众多,结构复杂,组织和成员的个体知识创造行为不仅会受到自身特征的影响,而且会受到所处链式产业集群网络的影响。如何准确把握这些主要的影响因素,是提高组织知识创造活动管理水平,进而获得较高绩效的重要保证。因此,只有采用跨层次分析方法,才能更为科学地揭示出各层面因素与多层次知识创造之间的关系。本文通过构建跨层次概念模型探讨个体层面、团队层面、组织层面和集群层面对多层次知识创造的影响,并提出相应的理论命题,深入理解链式产业集群知识创造机理。研究表明,知识创造受到多层面因素的直接和间接影响,是一个多维互动、层次升级的过程。

With the coming knowledge economy era, knowledge has become the focus of competition among organizations; the enterprises＇ capability for innovation has become one of the important dynamic capabilities of the enterprises. In the light of supply-chain-style cluster, knowledge creation is a multi-level dynamic process among individuals, teams and companies; it involves many factors and has complex structure. Individual knowledge creation behavior of organizations and their members can be influenced by not only their own characteristics, but also the supply-chain-style cluster. How to fully understand these major influencing factors is the guarantee for us to improve organizations＇ capability for managing knowledge creation activities and pursuing better performance. So, only the cross-level method can help us scientifically reveal the relation between different factors and multi-level knowledge creation. Based on the cross-level analysis methods, all factors on cluster level, organization level, team level and individual level are integrated, the impacts of supply-chain-style industrial cluster network and creation climate on multiple-level knowledge creation are investigated, and some related repositions are put forward. Results show that multi-level factors have direct and indirect impact on knowledge creation, and the knowledge creation is a multi-dimensional interaction and level upgrade process.
