“…Knowledge sharing behavior is represented in different ways. Oliveira et al (2015) compared two knowledge sharing behavior scales. One focuses on the individual's involvement in sharing (leads or participates in sharing activities), which was adapted from Xue, Bradley, and Liang (2011), and the other considers the type of knowledge (implicit and explicit), which was previously validated by Huang (2009).…”

“…Knowledge sharing is one of the most important processes in knowledge management (Kuo & Young, 2008), as it contributes to the development of new products (McAdam, O'Hare and Moffett, 2008) and enhances performance (Husain & Husain, 2013) and innovation (Oliveira, Curado, Maçada, & Nodari, 2015). Knowledge sharing can be represented by two processes: "knowledge donating, communicating to others what one's personal intellectual capital is; and knowledge collecting, consulting colleagues in order to get them to share their intellectual capital" (Hooff & Ridder, 2004, p. 118).…”

Knowledge is an obtainable, renewable, dynamic, context‐dependent resource that can be shared, and the knowledge sharing cycle has 2 processes: knowledge donation, when a person voluntarily offers his/her intellectual capital to others, and knowledge collection, when a person consults other people's intellectual capital. Knowledge can be shared among individuals, groups, and organizations. A free software community is a type of community of practice arranged around a specific free software, where the knowledge shared is complex and the knowledge sharing processes have scarcely been studied. This investigation aims to identify the profiles of knowledge sharing processes in free software communities and examine how 6 motivations for sharing knowledge in free software communities are associated with each of the clusters. To accomplish this objective, a survey method was adopted, with 260 respondents belonging to free software communities. Cluster analysis was used to interpret the data. Four clusters were identified: Sporadic Sharer; Collector; Donator; and Constant Sharer. With the exception of the Sporadic Sharer, all the clusters presented high values of both collection and donation, including the Donators and Collectors. These results confirm the view of free software communities as communities of practice and highlight the importance of knowledge sharing in free software development cycle. The results reveal the importance of the Constant Sharer profile, which has the highest rates of donation and collection and is also the profile in which all the motivations appear with the highest values, indicating its key role in the functioning of free software communities.

“…Uma forma de determinar qual das proposições será testada é através dos contextos estudados nos trabalhos anteriores. Contextos de empresas de tecnologia (Oliveira et al, 2015;Wendling, Oliveira & Maçada, 2013), desenvolvimento de software (Solli-Saether & Karlsen, 2014), empresas intensivas em pesquisa e desenvolvimento (Lawson & Potter, 2012) e empresas de inovação (Schmidt, 2010) podem ser uma boa orientação para determinar qual proposição é adequada para ser testada quantitativamente.…”

ResumoPartilha do conhecimento é um processo onde unidades se influenciam para criar conhecimento novo. Ela tem ligação com a capacidade absortiva, uma habilidade que permite à empresa identificar conhecimentos externos, assimilá-los e aplicá-los, porém não está claro na literatura como essa ligação acontece. Um dos antecedentes da partilha do conhecimento e capacidade absortiva é orientação para objetivos, que podem ser de aprendizagem ou desempenho. Esses objetivos existem nas metodologias ágeis, que pretendem fomentar o aprendizado da equipa enquanto entregam software de melhor qualidade. Esse trabalho pretende estabelecer a relação entre partilha do conhecimento, capacidade absortiva e orientação para objetivos no contexto de equipas ágeis, o que foi realizado com uma revisão sistemática da literatura. Como resultados foram estabelecidas seis proposições sobre a relação dos construtos no contexto de equipas ágeis, com as quais gerentes podem identificar a orientação da equipa e criar planos de ação para as estratégias de conhecimento.

“…One of the most important process of knowledge management is knowledge sharing [1]. Knowledge sharing is a key process in knowledge management that delivers knowledge where it is needed from one person to another [1], [2]. The more effective knowledge sharing process the greater effect in knowledge management in order to increase competitive advantage in an organization [3].…”
