팀 효능감과 리더 겸손이 지식 공유에 미치는 영향 : 긍정심리자본의 조절효과를 중심으로

The importance of interpersonal knowledge sharing is constantly being emphasized as a source of sustainable competitive advantage. Those who hold knowledge experience the dilemma of acting in good faith for the organization while simultaneously facing the anxiety that knowledge sharing may provide, resulting in the loss of their power or competitiveness. To overcome this dilemma, individual motivation and willingness to share knowledge must be an important concern and may be empowered by strong trust among organizational members. This study explores the factors that enable strong trust between individuals in leadership and team-based settings and validated the individual level effect of leader humility and team efficacy perception on knowledge sharing. Moreover, given that knowledge sharing is an individual phenomenon, the moderating effect of positive psychological capital, which is an individual trait, was also subsequently analyzed. SPSS hierarchical regression was used to analyze 309 workers in small and medium-sized enterprises. Results showed that both leader humility and team efficacy at the individual level were positively related to knowledge sharing. Additionally, a higher positive psychological capital strengthened the positive relationship between leader humility and knowledge sharing, while the positive relationship between team efficacy and knowledge sharing was strengthened with lower positive psychological capital. Ultimately, the study’s theoretical and practical implications along with proposed directions for future studies are therein discussed.
