Intra-organizational and inter-organizational knowledge sharing in collaborative learning process: A conceptual framework for SME

The purpose of this paper is to describe interaction between intra-organizational knowledge sharing and inter-organizational knowledge sharing in collaborative learning process. Collaborative learning is defined as a learning process that occurs during interaction between more than two entities that have common purpose. Many previous research has shown that collaborative learning is an effective method to manage intellectual asset and speed up learning process in organization, especially for organization with limited resources like SMEs. Collaborative learning was facilitated through effective knowledge sharing between organization (inter-organizational knowledge sharing) and knowledge sharing within organization (intra-organizational knowledge sharing). Despite its importance, there were still limited number of research that describe interaction between those two knowledge sharing in collaborative learning process. This paper will develop a conceptual framework for intra-organizational and inter-organizational knowledge sharing in collaborative learning process based on previous research and literature. The developed framework will be validated using case study in two SME cluster in Indonesia.

Web usability and self-efficacy in promoting individual Knowledge Sharing

Nowadays, many organization used a Knowledge Sharing (KS) systems that is supported with ICTs. Many previous research used a combination of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) into social capital theory to describe users KS behavior. This research used a different approach in measuring technology aspect in KS. Technological aspect was measured by usability concept that has five indicator, that are usefulness, efficiency, effectiveness, learnability, satisfaction. The model also considered users self-efficacy in knowledge sharing. Questionnaire was distributed to 144 academics staff in several university in Bandung. From the final model it can be concluded that both self-efficacy and systems usability has a significant positive correlation with knowledge sharing. The data was divided into three group that represent three different work forces generation. Path analysis was done for each group and the final model showed that each group has different output.

Ability to Share Knowledge of Doctors in Teaching Hospital in Indonesia

The tacit knowledge held by physicians is rarely converted into explicit knowledge. The main challenge for doctors at teaching hospitals in Indonesia continues to be a high level of dependence on one doctor who has the knowledge. This study aims to conduct an analysis of the issues that can affect a physician’s ability to share knowledge with peers in an effort to reduce the level of dependence on physicians. The method used is based on survey respondents using surveymonkey.com. The results of the processing and analysis of the data shows that there are four hypotheses identified ability to share knowledge with the indicator value of t-count greater than the value of t-table. The main conclusion of this study is that a physician’s ability to share his knowledge with colleagues is strongly influenced by the ability to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the knowledge and the ability to document the knowledge that is shaped into the form of tacit or explicit knowledge. Other factors affecting the physicians’ ability to share knowledge are the frequency of interactions among them and the work environment where supporting a culture of sharing knowledge is expected as part of the organizational culture of teaching hospitals in Indonesia.
