Capitalizing on organizational network theory, we address the relationship between informal-knowledge-sharing-network characteristics (in-degree and out-degree centrality) and the level of internal and external learning. Specifically, the paper examines differences in the use of various relationships when employees are learning internally or externally and explores the moderating role of the perceived organic structuring of activities. The results show the employees resort to informal-knowledge-generating relationships (informal in-degree) to obtain knowledge internally, whereas, when learning externally, employees rely on informal- -knowledge-sharing relationships (informal out-degree) to disseminate the knowledge they obtain from outside the organization. The anticipated moderating role of the organic structuring of activities is not confirmed, holding important implications for both theory and practice.

非正式知识共享网络与组织中的个人学习之间的关系：活动的结构是否重要？

利用组织网络理论，我们解决了非正式知识共享网络特征（学位内和学位外中心度）与内部和外部学习水平之间的关系。具体而言，本文考察了员工在内部或外部学习时各种关系的使用差异，并探讨了感知的活动组织结构的调节作用。结果表明，员工依靠非正式的知识生成关系（非正式的学位）在内部获取知识，而在外部学习时，员工则依靠非正式的知识共享关系（非正式的学位）来传播知识他们从组织外部获取。活动的组织结构所预期的调节作用尚未得到证实，
