ABSTRACT

Knowledge generated in university laboratories is a crucial resource for enhancing the research performance of universities, the very site for scientific discoveries and technological innovation. Since knowledge is created through interpersonal interactions, the demographic composition of university laboratories is critically linked to knowledge creation by individual researchers and the management of such knowledge creation processes. This research examines the demographic faultlines within university laboratories representing the compositional diversity of laboratory members and their impacts on knowledge creation within the laboratory setting. In particular, we designed a cross-level analysis to examine the relationship between team-level demographic faultlines in university laboratories and individual-level members’ creation of explicit and tacit knowledge. Our results based on a sample of 300 members from 46 labs at a research-oriented university reveal complex relationships among demographic composition, type of knowledge created through laboratory interactions, and other factors. It turns out that demographic faultlines are negatively related to individual explicit knowledge, whereas they show an inverted U-shaped relationship with individual tacit knowledge. Our findings suggest much more contextual impacts of the configuration of laboratory members on individual knowledge creation in university laboratories than studied so far.

用人口断层线管理个人知识创造:以大学实验室为例

摘要

大学实验室产生的知识是提高大学研究绩效的重要资源,大学是科学发现和技术创新的真正场所。由于知识是通过人际互动创造的,大学实验室的人口构成与个人研究人员的知识创造和此类知识创造过程的管理密切相关。本研究考察了大学实验室内代表实验室成员组成多样性的人口统计断层线及其对实验室环境中知识创造的影响。特别是,我们设计了一个跨层次的分析来检查大学实验室中团队层次人口统计断层线与个人层次成员显性和隐性知识创造之间的关系。我们的结果基于来自研究型大学 46 个实验室的 300 名成员的样本,揭示了人口构成、通过实验室互动创造的知识类型以及其他因素之间的复杂关系。事实证明,人口断层线与个人显性知识呈负相关,而它们与个人隐性知识呈倒 U 型关系。我们的研究结果表明,与迄今为止的研究相比,实验室成员的配置对大学实验室个人知识创造的背景影响要大得多。我们的结果基于来自研究型大学 46 个实验室的 300 名成员的样本,揭示了人口构成、通过实验室互动创造的知识类型以及其他因素之间的复杂关系。事实证明,人口断层线与个人显性知识呈负相关,而它们与个人隐性知识呈倒 U 型关系。我们的研究结果表明,与迄今为止的研究相比,实验室成员的配置对大学实验室个人知识创造的背景影响要大得多。我们的结果基于来自研究型大学 46 个实验室的 300 名成员的样本,揭示了人口构成、通过实验室互动创造的知识类型以及其他因素之间的复杂关系。事实证明,人口断层线与个人显性知识呈负相关,而它们与个人隐性知识呈倒 U 型关系。我们的研究结果表明,与迄今为止的研究相比,实验室成员的配置对大学实验室个人知识创造的背景影响要大得多。而它们与个体隐性知识呈现倒U型关系。我们的研究结果表明,与迄今为止的研究相比,实验室成员的配置对大学实验室个人知识创造的背景影响要大得多。而它们与个体隐性知识呈现倒U型关系。我们的研究结果表明,与迄今为止的研究相比,实验室成员的配置对大学实验室个人知识创造的背景影响要大得多。
