Research On The Influence Of Perceptions Of Organizational Politics On The Knowledge Sharing Of Employees

Since the 18 th CPC National Congress,General Secretary Xi Jinping has mentioned the importance of "innovation" in several important speeches.In the ever-changing present,if an enterprise wants to adapt to the new forms and new requirements of the knowledge economy market and strives for progress in the fierce competition,it must inevitably improve its product or service's competitive advantage through continuous innovation.Innovation is an integrated process of knowledge transfer and application.Information and skills are exchanged and transferred between various carriers to stimulate new development vitality of the organization.However,knowledge sharing is not a naturally occurring behavior in the workplace.This process is affected by many factors such as organizational atmosphere,psychological perception and individual characteristics.When limited resources conflict with the diversified needs of employees in the organization,the emergence of a resource gap has led to self-serving political behavior and social activities to be carried out in secret.Based on the level of employees' perception and cognition,the result of knowledge sharing is bound to be different.In particular,under the influence of the traditional Chinese culture of “Church apprentice,starved master”,will employees' personal characteristics motivate them to continue to provide self-worth or stop loss in time for the threat of status? With respect to the research of knowledge sharing,these discussions are of great significance for management practices in modern organizations.Based on the theory of stress,resource conservation and social exchange,this study sorted out the connotations and measurement methods of perceptions of organizational politics,organizational support,knowledge sharing and traditionality after reading a large amount of literature.On the other hand,it explored the role path between perceptions of organizational politics and knowledge sharing among Chinese knowledge-intensive employees,and considered the intermediary role of organizational support and the regulatory effect of traditional characteristics.Then,it built a theoretical model and put forward research hypotheses.During the empirical analysis,313 sample data were tested and analyzed by SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 21.0.The hypothesis was verified and the conclusions of the study are as follows:(1)The perceptions of organizational politics significantly negatively affect employees' knowledge contribution and knowledge absorption;(2)The perceptions of organizational politics significantly negatively affect organizational support;(3)Organizational support significantly positively affects employee knowledge sharing;(4)Organizational support plays a part of mediating role between perceptions of organizational politics and employees' knowledge sharing;(5)Individual tradition strengthened the negative effect of perceptions of organizational politics on knowledge sharing.Therefore,knowledge-intensive enterprises should be committed to reducing employeeorganizational political awareness,improving the compensation and promotion system,expanding the employee communication platform to achieve information equality,and creating a just and harmonious organizational atmosphere.In addition,companies should try their best to meet the material needs and provide emotional care,to motivate workers to actively promote the accumulation and update of knowledge in the organization.The ultimate goal is to maintain the core competitiveness of the enterprise and realize its long-term development.
