The purpose of this paper is to examine how knowledge inflows and outflows interact to affect performance outcomes. Though previous studies have dealt with knowledge inflows and outflows, the quality and quantity characteristics of knowledge are often not taken into account, thus leaving a research gap with regards to the effect of their interactions on performance outcomes.,Based on Poisson regression analysis, this quantitative study fills the aforementioned research gaps by analyzing the ambidextrous configurations of knowledge flows from an ambidexterity perspective and examines their effects on two-phase performance (i.e. regular season and playoffs), using a longitudinal data set of National Basketball Association transactions from the 2003-2004 to 2014-2015 season.,The results suggest that the complementarity between knowledge inflows and outflows along the quality and quantity dimensions of knowledge, respectively, has a positive impact on two-phase performance, while the imbalance between knowledge inflows and outflows under the quality and quantity dimensions of knowledge, respectively, has a negative impact on playoffs performance (Phase 2). These findings suggest that organizations can balance knowledge inflows and outflows under a single quality or quantity dimension of knowledge. Furthermore, the interaction between the quantity of the inflows of knowledge and the quality of the outflows of knowledge and the interaction between the quality of the inflows of knowledge and the quantity of the outflows of knowledge are both positively related to two-phase performance. These findings suggest that organizations can balance knowledge inflows and outflows across quality and quantity dimensions of knowledge. Finally, the effects of the interaction between knowledge inflows and outflows on playoffs performance are greater than regular-season.,Organizations should leverage ambidexterity to manage/balance knowledge inflows and outflows across quality and quantity dimensions, further enhancing performance outcomes.,This study, first, provides new insights into knowledge flows by distinguishing between the quality and quantity of knowledge, the inflows and outflows of knowledge, constructing ambidextrous configurations of knowledge flows from an ambidexterity perspective. Second, it contributes to the relationship between knowledge flows and organizational performance by revealing how ambidextrous configurations of knowledge flows exert different effects on performance outcomes. Third, it adds to the literature of ambidexterity-performance relationships and expands it to the context of sports.

对知识流配置的模棱两可的观点：对其两阶段绩效影响的实证测试

本文的目的是研究知识流入和流出如何相互作用以影响绩效结果。尽管以前的研究都涉及知识的流入和流出，但是知识的质量和数量特征通常没有考虑在内，因此在交互作用对绩效结果的影响方面存在研究空白。基于泊松回归分析，定量研究通过从歧义性角度分析知识流的歧义配置，填补了上述研究空白，并使用2003-2003年美国国家篮球协会交易的纵向数据集，检验了它们对两阶段绩效（即常规赛季和季后赛）的影响。 2004至2014-2015赛季。，结果表明，知识流入和流出分别沿知识的质量和数量维度的互补性对两阶段绩效产生积极影响，而知识流入和流出在知识的质量和数量维度下的不均衡分别，对季后赛表现有负面影响（第二阶段）。这些发现表明，组织可以在知识的单个质量或数量维度下平衡知识的流入和流出。此外，知识流入量与知识流出量之间的相互作用以及知识流入量与知识流出量之间的相互作用都与两阶段绩效成正相关。这些发现表明，组织可以在知识的质量和数量维度上平衡知识的流入和流出。最后，知识流入和流出之间的相互作用对季后赛绩效的影响要大于常规季节。组织应该利用灵活性来管理/平衡质量和数量维度上的知识流入和流出，从而进一步提高绩效结果。首先，通过区分知识的质量和数量，知识的流入和流出，从歧义性的角度构建知识流的灵巧配置，提供对知识流的新见解。第二，它揭示了敏捷的知识流配置如何对绩效结果产生不同的影响，从而有助于知识流与组织绩效之间的关系。第三，它增加了双性行为表现关系的文献，并将其扩展到体育领域。
