Abstract:

Based on both economic and sociological theory, the effects of supervisory control and organizational support on the frequency and effort of individuals in contributing their personally held valuable knowledge to a ‘best practices-lessons learned, repository-based’ knowledge management system were compared. Supervisory control, as expected, had significant impact on frequency, but it also had unexpectedly significant influence on effort. When system variables – usefulness and ease of use – were controlled for, the organizational support measure had little effect on either outcome.
