Knowledge sharing: Investigating appropriate leadership roles and collaborative culture
Tourism Management, (2007)
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to empirically explore how organizational
culture with a focus on collaboration, and certain types of
leadership roles significantly affect knowledge sharing. The sample
of the study was drawn from 1200 employees working in international
tourist hotels in Taiwan. Of usable questionnaires, 499 were included
in the data analysis. The findings reveal that there was a strong
and
positive relationship between a collaborative culture and the effectiveness
of knowledge sharing. Also, facilitator, mentor and innovator
roles were positively correlated with knowledge sharing effectiveness,
and there was a negative relationship between a monitor role and
knowledge sharing.
