Perceptions of Knowledge Sharing Among Small Family Firm Leaders: A Structural Equation Model
研究了小型家族企业领导者的领导方式如何影响其对知识共享的认知,基于苏格兰110家知识密集型小型家族企业的调查数据,发现领导意图在组织参与和家族影响之间做出选择。
Small family firms have many unique relational qualities with implications for how knowledge is passed between individuals. Extant literature posits leadership approach as important in explaining differences in knowledge-sharing climate from one firm to another. This study investigates how leadership approaches interact with family influence to inform perceptions of knowledge sharing. We utilize survey data ( n = 110) from owner-managers of knowledge-intensive small family firms in Scotland. Our findings present a choice in leadership intention, contrasting organization-focused participation against family-influenced guidance. Insight is offered on the implications of this leadership choice at both organizational and familial levels.
