The present study examined the influences and interactive effects of organizational culture, including trust, communication, and leadership, on online knowledge sharing based on social exchange theory and theories of trust, communication, and leadership. Two-hundred-ninety-seven members in three online engineering virtual communities from a knowledge management platform in a company were participants for filling in questionnaires. The results revealed that trust, communication, and leadership significantly affected online knowledge sharing. Members with high levels of trust, communication, or leadership had significantly better knowledge sharing than members with medium or low levels of trust, communication, or leadership. The results also showed a significant interactive effect of trust and communication on online knowledge sharing and a significant interactive effect of leadership and communication on online knowledge sharing, but there was no significant interactive effect of trust and leadership on online knowledge sharing. No previous studies have investigated the interactive effects of trust, communication and leadership on online knowledge sharing. That research finding is a significant contribution different from previous studies. Finally, this article offers suggestions for future research, implications of this study, and limitations of this study.

组织文化对在线虚拟社区中知识共享的影响

本研究基于社会交流理论和信任，交流和领导力理论，研究了组织文化（包括信任，交流和领导力）对在线知识共享的影响和交互作用。来自公司知识管理平台的三个在线工程虚拟社区中的279个成员是填写问卷的参与者。结果表明，信任，沟通和领导力显着影响在线知识共享。具有高信任度，沟通或领导才能的成员比具有中低信任度，沟通或领导才能的成员具有更好的知识共享。结果还显示，信任和沟通对在线知识共享具有显着的交互作用，而领导和沟通对在线知识共享具有显着的交互作用，但信任和领导对在线知识共享没有显着的交互作用。以前没有研究调查过信任，沟通和领导对在线知识共享的交互作用。该研究发现是与先前研究不同的重大贡献。最后，本文为将来的研究，本研究的意义以及本研究的局限性提供了建议。以前没有研究调查过信任，沟通和领导对在线知识共享的交互作用。该研究发现是与以前的研究不同的重大贡献。最后，本文为将来的研究，本研究的意义以及本研究的局限性提供了建议。以前没有研究调查过信任，沟通和领导对在线知识共享的交互作用。该研究发现是与先前研究不同的重大贡献。最后，本文为将来的研究，本研究的意义以及本研究的局限性提供了建议。
