“…Sourcing others’ expertise, knowledge and ideas plays an indispensable role in innovative performance (Ebadi and Utterback, 1984; Quinn et al , 1996; Gray and Meister, 2004; Li et al , 2004; Johnson et al , 2006; Hülsheger et al , 2009; Huggins et al , 2010). New ideas could be drawn from the interactions among members when sharing knowledge (Albrecht and Ropp, 1984; West, 1990; Wegner, 1995; Csikszentmihalyi, 1997; Yao and Lee, 2016). Meanwhile, sourcing for others’ knowledge, no matter in what format, the variety of knowledge could spark new ideas (Tsai and Ghoshal, 1998; Senge, 1999).…”

Purpose Innovation is the combination of idea generation and idea implementation. Sourcing relevant and credible external knowledge is critical for individuals to generate new feasible ideas and reduce the uncertainty of implementation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of knowledge sourcing on employee’s innovations behavior. Design/methodology/approach The data were collected by paper-based survey in four Chinese companies’ R&D departments and consisted of 569 valid responses. Structure equitation modeling method was used to test the hypotheses. Findings The results indicate that knowledge sourcing, which is formatively conceptualized by tacit knowledge sourcing and explicit knowledge sourcing, significantly influences employee’s innovation behavior. In particular, the direct effect of knowledge sourcing is fully mediated by task-efficacy. Furthermore, the effects of knowledge sourcing are contingent upon information transparency. Originality/value This study not only contributes to knowledge sourcing literature by investigating knowledge sourcing from idea generation and idea implementation perspectives, but also is of importance to knowledge management research by demonstrating the moderating effects of information transparency.

“…Lewis (2003) found that TMS consists of three indicators: specialization, credibility and coordination. Recent research has found many key factors that are associated with TMS including knowledge sharing (Simeonova, 2017), learning behaviors (Choi, 2015), TP (Song, 2013; Oh, 2019), innovative behavior (Yao and Lee, 2016) and work engagement (Kim and Kim, 2019).…”

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the relationships between individual team member's perception of team psychological safety (TPS), individual team member's perception of transactive memory system (TMS), individual team member's perception of team learning behavior (TLB) and individual team member's perception of team performance (TP).Design/methodology/approachThis cross-sectional study used a paper-based questionnaire that was distributed to 500 employees in travel-related industries and responses were received from 467 employees. Finally, 394 surveys were used after excluding insincere responses. Using SPSS & AMOS version 25.0, factor analysis, correlation, path analysis and mediation analysis were performed.FindingsThe findings reveal that there is a significant association between TPS, TMS, TLB and TP, except for the specialization subdimension of TMS and reflective communication and knowledge codification subdimensions of TLB. There was no mediation role of TLB; however, credibility and task coordination subdimensions of TMS showed partial mediating effects between TPS and TP.Originality/valueThis study offers suggestions for management, emphasizing the importance of TPS. Recent and rapid organizational changes have dramatically increased employees' job insecurity, which can affect their psychological safety. Therefore, organizations should actively support employees to feel psychologically stable to improve performance by utilizing TMS and TLB among individual team members.
