Relationship Between TMT Behavioral Integration And Organizational Innovation

Along with the rapid development of economic globalization and the complicated external environment, the organization innovation is very important to maintain a competitive advantage. How to improve the organization’s innovation ability and level has always been the focus attention of scholars. TMT Behavior Integration fully grasp the concept of process variation, than ever from leadership, cooperation, communication and so on several aspects separately. TMT Behavior Integration investigate TMT operation process is more comprehensive and specific, have important influence to organizational innovation. Existing research indicated that there is not a simple linear relationship between the two but complex process mechanisms.It is found that the source of the organization innovation ability comes from the accumulation of the knowledge. The integration of TMT behavior through different knowledge management mechanisms may have different effects on organizational innovation. As an indispensable part of Knowledge management, Knowledge Sharing has aroused the attention of scholars in the knowledge economy era. More and more scholars begin to realize the important value of knowledge sharing in organization knowledge management, and regard it as the key to enterprise innovation and obtain competitive advantage (Connelly,2012). Despite the organization’s efforts to create a good atmosphere to encourage employees to share knowledge, the occurrence of knowledge hiding behavior is still everywhere. Based on this, this study firstly makes a clear definition of the concept, and then puts forward the knowledge sharing and knowledge hidden as intermediary variable to study the effect of TMT behavior integration to organizational innovation model and research hypotheses are put forward. The main conclusions are as follows:(1)The higher integration level, the stronger the ability of organization innovation, and technological innovation has a significant effect on the management innovation.TMT behavioral integration level is higher, the exchanges and cooperation between team is increasingly full, the more integration team knowledge and insight, and innovation ability is stronger.(2) The TMT behavior integration level is higher, the higher the degree of knowledge sharing in organization, the less chance of knowledge hidden behavior within organizations. Simsek (2006) pointed out that the high degree of behavior of the team, more effective use of the organization’s explicit knowledge, more opportunities for communication and sharing of knowledge, information, and the ability of percept external environment is also higher.(3) The knowledge sharing can promote the implementation of the organizational innovation, while knowledge hiding can hinder it. Knowledge sharing is beneficial to break the barriers of knowledge owner, to realize the free flow of knowledge within a certain range, to promote knowledge updating and innovation, to reduce development costs, to accelerate the development of new products and increase competitiveness. Accordingly, knowledge hiding has hindered the flow of the important knowledge, which has the inhibitory effect on the organization innovation.(4) Knowledge sharing and knowledge hiding play an intermediary role between the integration of TMT behavior and organizational innovation. The integration of TMT behavior through different knowledge processing mechanisms to produce different effects on organizational innovation. TMT behavior integration through knowledge sharing to promote organizational innovation, and through knowledge hiding has an obstacle to organizational innovation.
