The Mediating Effects of Socialization on Organizational Contexts and Knowledge Sharing

Year: 2012

Type: preprint

Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between socialization, organizational contexts, and knowledge sharing. Organizational contexts were operationalized as organizational structure and climate. Five broadly hypothesized relationships between organizational contexts, socialization and knowledge sharing were tested based on empirical study in service organizations. The findings related to direct effects reveal that only supportive climate is positively related to organizational socialization. The results suggest that organizational socialization is important for knowledge sharing. The service organizations in Malaysia may use these findings to improve knowledge sharing in Malaysia.
