ABSTRACT

Based on an agent model combined with complex network analysis, this paper investigates the effects of different leadership styles and network structures on organisational learning in online work knowledge community (OWKC). The paper further examines other factors related to the relationship between leadership style and organisational learning, such as environmental change and personnel turnover in OWKC. The results show that the leadership style of differential leader-member exchange (DLMX)) produces higher online community knowledge performance (OCKP) than the leadership style of uniform leader-member exchange (ULMX) in small-world networks, while ULMX outperforms DLMX in scale-free networks. However, with environmental change and in the presence of personnel turnover, ULMX performs better in small-world networks.

摘要

基于代理模型结合复杂网络分析，本文研究了不同领导风格和网络结构对在线工作知识社区（OWKC）组织学习的影响。本文进一步研究了与领导风格和组织学习之间关系相关的其他因素，例如 OWKC 中的环境变化和人员流动。结果表明，在小世界网络中，差异领导成员交换（DLMX）的领导风格比统一领导成员交换（ULMX）的领导风格产生更高的在线社区知识绩效（OCKP），而ULMX在无标度网络。然而，随着环境变化和人员流动，ULMX 在小世界网络中表现更好。
