“…The four dimensions of SECI were measured each by three items as reciprocity norms, interpersonal trust, relationship expectations; teamwork, freedom, self-efficacy; shared interpretation, information quality, communication; cognitive distance, timeliness, knowledge background [8]. Additionally, items used to rate tacit and explicit KS were based on the studies developed by Yang et al to describe one's KS behavior and frequency [9]. A five-point Likert-type scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree" was used for feedback.…”

Abstract. Knowledge sharing of repatriates is embedded in a complex project environment and affected by the organizational knowledge governance mechanisms. This paper seeks to find out the mechanisms that promote repatriates to share their knowledge achieved in international construction projects after returning to domestic projects. We collect data from 245 respondents in 33 Chinese contractors. The test results indicate that adoption of knowledge governance mechanisms influence repatriates' knowledge sharing via the knowledge sharing process generated from SECI model, namely, socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization. Through knowledge socialization and externalization, knowledge governance mechanisms can be stronger motivation to inspire repatriates' tacit knowledge sharing than explicit knowledge sharing. This paper provides both theoretical implications for knowledge sharing theory and managerial suggestions for professional construction projects in sharing repatriates' knowledge.

“…This also has implications in the area of HRM. As Hurmelinna-Laukkanen et al (2016, 166) note, even if the need for both knowledge sharing and protection has been acknowledged, "how to achieve these seemingly contradicting goals is another issue, which is yet to be resolved (Kale et al 2000;Yang et al 2014)." If this can be accomplished, the performance of an organization may be positively affected.…”

Innovation and HRM practices are connected, but the nature of these linkages may not be completely understood. Practical examples where knowledge securing practices limit efficiency of creative work, and where rewarding established ways of work prevent new approaches from being tried, suggest that there are challenges. In this study, we examine the relationships between different forms of HRM practices, knowledge sharing and protection (i.e., knowledge activities), and performance outcomes. Our findings from empirical analysis among 150 firms suggest that HRM practices are positively related to subjective overall performance and innovation performance, and that knowledge sharing likewise has such a relationship with performance outcomes. Furthermore, when knowledge sharing is accompanied with HR practices targeted to securing knowledge, innovation performance can be improved. Knowledge securing also comes in play when it is combined with HR practices of personnel compensation and appraisal; in this case subjective performance is diminished. This leads us to suggest that companies might benefit from smart HRM systems.

“…This is partly due to the lack of infrastructures enabling larger scale production, but infrastructures also have a wider societal impact, as their weakness makes companies protective of intellectual capital when legal protection is low (Yang et al, 2014). Therefore, country of origin effect for the western MNEs can be significant in emerging markets in terms of gaining market share (Wei et al, 2014).…”

Subsidiaries in emerging markets (EMs) are a valuable source of knowledge for multinational enterprises (MNEs). Accessing the vast potential of these markets is increasingly becoming a priority for businesses from developed countries, but success in the markets requires understanding marketing in the emerging market context, which may differ considerably from the accepted truths of the traditional Western approaches. This paper seeks to improve understanding of the emerging market contextual factors, which influence the willingness to transfer marketing knowledge from emerging market subsidiaries to headquarters of multinational companies. Using the GLOBE cultural framework, this paper proposes that the relationships between power distance, uncertainty avoidance, in-group collectivism, performance orientation, and future orientation with knowledge transfer willingness are made moderated by the EM characteristics of shortage of resources, strong socio-political governance, inadequate infrastructures, country of origin -effect and turbulence of the environment. A conceptual framework and propositions for future study are presented accordingly.
