Although previous literatures provided remarkable insights on the role of interpersonal relationship in the process of knowledge transfer, all of them adopted a culture-free perspective which may neglect the difference of mechanism of interpersonal interaction across different cultural contexts.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent paper presented at the 25th SIOP Conference Atlanta, United States, I developed and tested a model examining the relationship between guanxi, a Chinese indigenous concept, and effectiveness of knowledge transfer among employees. Specifically, this study found that high guanxi quality facilitates knowledge transfer among employees through incubating interpersonal benevolence-based trust and competence-based trust. In addition, when the transferred knowledge is tacit, complicated, and uncodifiable, high quality of guanxi and strong trust in co-workers&#8217; competence are indispensable. Our findings justified the necessity of fostering professional trust among employees for effective knowledge sharing and organisational learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Department of Management &#038; Organisation A short report from Gao Xiangyu on his Research Findings presented in the conference.
