Knowledge Sharing Behavior: Clarifying Its Measurement and AntecedentsLee, Tiffany T. 01 November 2018 (has links)
There is increasing recognition that informal learning is a crucial component of organizational functioning and a necessary complement to the formal training that employees receive. As jobs evolve and demand more complex skills, workers must use informal learning to adapt to ever-changing work requirements. Informal learning is often dependent on voluntary knowledge sharing behavior, as evident among members of mastermind groups or communities of practice. In order to assist organizations, researchers must seek to understand the factors that motivate employees to engage in knowledge sharing behavior.
Empirical research on knowledge sharing is nascent. There exists only a handful of quantitative studies examining organizational factors (e.g., rewards) and individual factors (e.g., learning goal orientation and personality) as they relate to knowledge sharing attitudes, intentions, and behaviors. This body of work is also muddied by inconsistent operationalizations of constructs and a lack of an organizing framework. For instance, rewards have been popularly discussed and implemented as tools for incentivizing employees to perform. However, research has produced mixed findings regarding its effects on knowledge sharing behavior in organizations. There has also been a variety of different rewards examined without clear consistency in the results.
The present study addressed several research needs of this area. First, two separate samples were used to assess the psychometric properties (i.e., reliability and factor structure) of new measurement instruments developed for rewards, knowledge sharing behavior, and organizational learning culture. Item content validation was performed with 14 subject matter experts. Scale dimensionality was established using exploratory factor analysis with data from a sample of 230 university students and confirmatory factor analysis with data from a second sample of 569 participants. Hypothesized relationships among dimensions of constructs as well as moderators were examined using regression analyses. Results did not support the popularly conjectured intrinsic versus extrinsic distinction between rewards. Results showed that rewards predicted knowledge asking but did not predict knowledge giving behavior. Non-financial rewards were found to vary in motivational value for knowledge giving depending on an individual’s career stage. Three dimensions of goal orientation exhibited differential relationships with knowledge sharing behavior. Finally, this study demonstrated that the negative relationship between performance avoid orientation and knowledge giving was attenuated in a strong organizational learning culture, providing empirical support for the situational strength theory.
The findings from this work can inform organizational decision makers of how to harness the motivational value of rewards by understanding the career concerns of employees. This work also contributes by identifying person and situation factors that interact to facilitate a crucial kind of informal learning activity, knowledge sharing behavior in organizations.

Motivación, autoconcepto físico, disciplina y orientación disposicional en estudiantes de educación físicaHellín Rodríguez, Mª Gloria 26 October 2007 (has links)
El objetivo del estudio ha sido analizar la relación existente entre las estrategias de disciplina mostradas por el profesor para mantener la disciplina en el aula educación física, la orientación disposicional de metas, la motivación autodeterminada y la percepción del autoconcepto físico. La muestra estaba compuesta por 736 sujetos de edades entre los 14 y 17 años, pertenecientes a centros de educación secundaria de la Región de Murcia. Las escalas utilizadas fueron: Estrategias para mantener la disciplina en el aula, Cuestionario de percepción de éxito, Escala de motivación deportiva y Cuestionario de autoconcepto físico. Las principales conclusiones han sido que los estudiantes con una mayor motivación autodeterminada están más orientados a la tarea y tienen una percepción más positiva de su autoconcepto físico (determinado por motivos externos), agrupándose en perfiles autodeterminados. Los que practican actividades físico deportivas extraescolares muestran una mayor motivación autodeterminada, mayor orientación a la tarea y mayor competencia deportiva y condición física. Los chicos presentan una mayor percepción de su competencia deportiva y de su condición física, y están más orientados al ego que las chicas. Las chicas perciben mayor responsabilidad en las estrategias que utiliza su profesor en clase para mantener la disciplina que los chicos. / The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between the discipline strategies shown by the teacher to keep discipline in the physical education classroom, dispositional goal orientation, self-determined motivation and the perception of physical self-concept. The sample consisted of 736 subjects aged between 14 and 17, studying at secondary schools in the Region of Murcia. The scales used were: strategies to sustain discipline in the classroom, perception of success questionnaire, sport motivation scale and physical self-concept questionnaire. The main conclusions were that students with a higher self-determined motivation were more task-oriented and had a more positive perception of their physical self-concept (determined by external reasons), and were grouped in self-determined profiles. Those who do sport and physical activities outside school show more self-determined motivation, more task orientation and more sport competence and physical fitness. The boys demonstrate more perception of their sport competence and their physical fitness, and they are more ego-oriented than the girls. The girls perceive more responsibility in the strategies their teacher uses in class to maintain discipline than the boys do.

GOAL ORIENTATION PROFILES AMONG YOUNG SOCCER PLAYERS’ IN RELATION TO THEIR USE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SKILLSroness, simon, madsen, erik January 2011 (has links)
To further investigate athletes’ goal orientations in relation to their use of psychological skills, the present study examined the following objectives: 1) the goal orientations of young Swedish soccer players, (2) their use of psychological skills in both practice and competition and (3) the relationship between their goal orientations and use of psychological skills. Participants were 171 young soccer players from five Swedish high schools. The Perceptions of Success Questionnaire and the Test of Performance Strategies were administered to meet the objectives. Results showed no significant difference between athletes’ task (3.40 ± 1.32; M ± SD) and ego (3.32 ± 1.18) goal orientations. Results further revealed that athletes used more psychological skills in association with competition (3.21 ± .67) than in practice (2.74 ± .63). Moreover, results showed that athletes low in ego orientation used more psychological skills (3.83 ± .67) in practice than athletes high in ego (2.68 ± .60). A recommendation for coaches is to emphasize the importance of using PST in relation to practice in order to maximize athletes’ performances. Results have been discussed in relation to previous research of achievement motivation and athletes’ use of psychological skills.

A Structural Model On 7th Grade StudentsKayan Fadlelmula, Fatma 01 September 2011 (has links) (PDF)
This study was conducted in an attempt to integrate a number of cognitive, motivational and behavioral factors in elementary mathematics education, and to develop a theoretical model that explains the direct and indirect relationships among these concepts and their underlying dimensions. In particular, it was intended to examine the interrelationships among students&rsquo / achievement goal orientations, perception of classroom goal structure, self-efficacy, use of self-regulatory strategies, and academic achievement in mathematics.
Participants were 1019 seventh grade students, enrolled in public elementary schools, located in four different urban and rural districts in Ankara. A self-report questionnaire and a mathematics achievement test were administered to the participants during their regular class periods. A pilot study was carried out with 250 seventh grade students, for conducting exploratory factor analysis.
Structural equation modeling technique was used for data analysis. First, confirmatory factor analyses were conducted for each factor in the questionnaire. Then, a structural equation model was developed for the whole sample. Results revealed that students&rsquo / perceptions of classroom goal structure were directly linked to their adoption of achievement goal orientations. Among these goal orientations, only mastery goal orientation was associated with students&rsquo / use of learning strategies, which, in turn, related to their mathematics achievement. Among the learning strategies, only elaboration was significantly related to students&rsquo / mathematics achievement. Besides, self-efficacy was both directly and indirectly related to students&rsquo / adoption of achievement goals, use of learning strategies, and mathematics achievement.

Školní podvádění starších žáků: od explorativního výzkumu k strukturnímu modelu. Pilotní studie. / The scholastic cheating of early adolescents: from exploratory research towards a structural model. A pilot study.VRBOVÁ, Jana January 2013 (has links)
The aim of this work is to investigate, which behaviour at school is perceived by early adolescents (age average 14-16 years) as cheating, whether it is possible to classify this behaviour into specific types (factors) and whether these can be linked with individual student variables (sex, GPA, number of missed classes, student goal orientation, worry, self-efficacy, and achievement value), as well as with the contextual variables (parents goal orientation, teachers goal orientation, satisfaction with the school, neutralization, peer cheating behaviour, and cheating punishment). The obtained data were statistically evaluated (N = 401). Using exploratory factor analysis based on students self-reporting the frequency of the behaviour classified as cheating, two types of dishonest behaviour were extracted: cheating (copying, hinting) and falsification (forgery of signatures, absences). Two student factors, school approach (motivation) and to school avoidance (amotivation) orientation, and two context factors, teachers and parents goal orientation, were extracted as predictors of cheating. Results showed that neither parents nor cheating punishment had significant influence on cheating and falsification. The structural model confirmed that a positive relationship with teachers goal orientation and GPA had the highest influence on falsification. Student avoidance to school, student approach to school, and teachers goal orientation had the highest influence on cheating. Cheating and falsification were well correlated. The values of regression coefficients remained similar after removing the parent factor from the model. The structural equation model explaining the relationship of latent endogenous cheating and falsification variables with the three latent exogenous variables (avoidance to school, approach to school and teachers goal orientation) and the three manifest variables (sex, GPA and peer cheating behaviour), fitted the data well. The model explained 42% of cheating variance and 39% of falsification variance

Adaptive Performance: Arbeitsleistung im Kontext von Veränderungen / Adaptive Performance: Job Performance in the Context of ChangeBeuing, Ulrike 11 December 2009 (has links)
Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Adaptive Performance (AP) von Individuen. AP wird definiert als ein Verhalten, mit dem auf eine veränderte Arbeitssituation reagiert wird und das funktional für die Erreichung der Unternehmensziele ist. Nach einer Auseinandersetzung mit der Definition und Dimensionalität von AP erfolgt eine Abgrenzung zu verwandten Forschungsgebieten (z.B. Flexibilität, Kreativität, Routinen). Weiter wird ein Überblick über bisherige Paradigmen und Erkenntnisse der AP-Forschung gegeben. Da bislang kein Instrument mit guter psychometrischer Qualität zur Messung von AP verfügbar ist, beschäftigt sich die erste Studie (N=216 Leistungsbeurteilungen durch Vorgesetzte) mit der Konstruktion und Validierung eines solchen Instrumentes. Hypothesenkonform lässt sich die zweidimensionale Unterteilung von sozialer und aufgabenorientierter AP bestätigen. In der zweiten Studie (N=225 Selbsteinschätzungen durch Mitarbeiter) werden Außenzusammenhänge von AP thematisiert. Dabei zeigt sich, dass sich AP sowohl von geforderter Arbeitleistung als auch von Persönlicher Initiative als proaktiv-innovativer Arbeitsleistung abgrenzen lässt. Weiter ergeben sich positive Zusammenhänge mit Arbeitszufriedenheit und Lernzielorientierung sowie negative Zusammenhänge mit Veränderungsresistenz und Vermeidungs-Leistungszielorientierung. In der dritten Studie (N=70 Studierende) kommt mit dem Task-Change Paradigma ein experimentelles Design zur Untersuchung der AP zum Einsatz. Die Ergebnisse zeigen einen Haupteffekt kognitiver Fähigkeiten auf AP sowie eine Interaktion von Zielorientierung und kognitiven Fähigkeiten: Bei hohen kognitiven Fähigkeiten ist Lernzielorientierung leistungsförderlich, bei geringen kognitiven Fähigkeiten ist Lernzielorientierung hingegen hinderlich. Abschließend werden die Ergebnisse sowie die verwendeten Methoden der Arbeit kritisch diskutiert. Dabei werden zukünftige Forschungsfelder sowie praktische Implikationen angesprochen.
