An Empirical Research on the Relationships among Big Five Personality, Employee Guanxi and Knowledge Sharing Behavior

摘要:

人格特质与知识共享行为的关系研究是知识共享研究领域的一个新兴议题。从人际关系视角出发,以大五人格理论为基础理论工具,探究了五种人格特质如何通过雇员关系(情感型关系和工具型关系)作用于知识共享行为。通过对江苏省529名知识型员工的问卷调查,实证检验得出如下结论：宜人性、外向性和尽责性对情感型关系产生积极影响,经验开发性对情感型关系产生消极影响；经验开发性和外向性对工具型关系产生积极影响,宜人性对工具型关系产生消极影响；情感型关系对知识共享行为产生积极影响,工具型关系对知识共享行为产生消极影响。

Based on interpersonal relationship perspective and Big Five Personality Theory, this study explored how the five personality factors affect knowledge sharing behavior through the mediating effects of employees’ guanxi (including socio-affective guanxi and instrumental guanxi). Through a field survey of 529 knowledge workers from Jiangsu Province, this study derived the following conclusions: (1) agreeableness, extraversion and conscientiousness have positive effects on socio-affective guanxi, while openness to experience has a negative effect on socio-affective guanxi; (2) openness to experience and extraversion have positive effects on instrumental guanxi, while agreeableness has a negative effect on instrumental guanxi; (3) socio-affective guanxi has a positive effect on knowledge sharing behavior, while instrumental guanxi has a negative effect on knowledge sharing behavior.
