Abstract

Organisational knowledge transformation (OKT) influenced by many factors, usually exists at individual, team, and organisational level, which is a comprehensive process from the interaction of various tacit and explicit knowledge elements. Therefore, based on domestic and foreign research literatures, this paper firstly put forward the factors of OKT and their hypotheses in multiple levels, then utilises relevant datum of three questionnaire of every sample firm to examine the influence of those factors on OKT process by empirical analysis. Its research results show that: 1) the factors of OKT process have a construct of four variables, which are named as demand-inspirit-relation, trust, learning, and embedding; 2) demand-inspirit-relations and learning factor have a positive effect on knowledge transforming in all levels, and trust factor has a positive effect only in individual level, but no significant effects in team and organisational level, then the effects of embedding factor are also not significant in all levels.
