abstract |
Recently the construct of transactive memory systems (TMSs) has been the focus in
a number of studies. The TMS provides a group of people with an expertise map and
processes to retrieve information from the most reliable source in a timely fashion.
While most research has analysed the factors behind the creation of a TMS, a few have
looked into characteristics, which analyse the retrieval of information from a TMS
in real life teams. These studies reveal that factors related to the awareness of
other’s expertise and its importance for team members to accomplish work related tasks
play a role when seeking advice. However, individual factors, which have an impact
on knowledge sharing behaviour, were not included in these studies. For this reason,
this study places the TMS within a wider framework to analyse the impact of individual
factors on information search from the TMS. To analyse the impact of individual factors
on the frequency of information search, two teams were analysed. A survey was conducted
to create scores representing the awareness team members have of each other’s expertise,
how important they judge this knowledge to accomplish their tasks and how extravert
each team member is. Those individual characteristics were combined to create a TMS
profile for each participant. Subsequently, the influence these profiles have on the
network position and information search was analysed. The results reveal that team
members who score high on knowing and valuing are more often sought out for information
than other team members. In addition, if the main communication channel is face-to-face
contact, extraversion has an impact on information search. |
