Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the mediating effect of organizational communication in the relationships among transformational leadership, organizational justice and knowledge sharing within the higher education setting in South Korea.

Design/methodology/approach

A sample of 321 university employees, including 151 faculty members and 170 administrative staff members, from a representative private university, participated in the survey as part of a consulting project for university innovation. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was mainly used for data analysis to identify the structural relationship among the research variables.

Findings

The results of this study confirmed that transformational leadership positively influences organizational justice and knowledge sharing. However, the influence of organizational justice on knowledge sharing was not statistically significant. The mediating effect of organizational communication among those relationships to increase the members’ knowledge sharing behavior was statistically significant.

Originality/value

In this study, holistic aspects of the organization, including leadership, organizational culture and organizational strategy, were examined for encouraging employees’ knowledge sharing behavior while an organization undergoes innovational changes. More practically, this study suggested that organizational communication could be used as one of the critical strategies in the process of university innovation.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between several perceptional and behavioral determinants of employees’ knowledge sharing. Based on the conceptual model of the current research, individuals’ learning orientation was theorized as playing a mediating role in the influences of employees’ satisfaction and organizational commitment on knowledge sharing in the Korean retail service industry.

Design/methodology/approach

To analyze variable relationships, a total of 868 cases, collected from the Korean retail service industry, were used. Structural equation modeling was used for analyzing structural influential relationships among the variables.

Findings

One of the most important findings is that learning orientation is the key factor influencing knowledge sharing. More specifically, the analysis demonstrated that job satisfaction and organizational commitment have a significant influence on knowledge sharing only through learning orientation in terms of its mediating effect. In other words, learning orientation is a facilitator enhancing knowledge sharing through motivation and intention. The findings of this study have theoretical implications. In addition, an individual’s job satisfaction and organizational commitment could lead to a more active learning orientation and eventually could enhance knowledge-sharing activities.

Practical implications

The findings show that learning orientation is the key factor influencing knowledge sharing. In other words, learning orientation is a facilitator enhancing knowledge sharing through motivation and intention. These findings provide practical implications for practitioners who attempt to promote knowledge sharing among employees.

Originality/value

Most studies have considered the variables of job satisfaction and employee commitment as outcome variables. However, in the research, this paper founds that satisfied and committed employees could be the most critical influencers for organization performance and knowledge improvement.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to examine whether employees perceive career development resources the same and to identify which factors affect these perceptions differently, considering their employment type within small- and medium-sized enterprises in South Korea.

Design/methodology/approach

This study used a quantitative methodology to explore the differential perceptions of the relationship between organizational support practices, person–job fit and employee attitudes. The authors used a sample of 1,560 employees comparing the responses of Generation Z employees across employment type.

Findings

This study delved into organizational factors such as the support system and fairness in performance appraisal, alongside individual factors like person–job fit according to employment type. It enabled to ascertain the relative significance of these factors in shaping employees’ views on career development.

Originality/value

This study enriches the discussion on the specific career development traits of this demographic. This study also discusses theoretical and practical implications for human resource development, emphasizing strategic interventions that enable employees to actively manage their careers and foster a positive work environment.
