Exploring Knowledge Sharing among Members of a Community of Practice
Blankenship, Selena S.; Ruona, Wendy E. A.
Online Submission, Paper presented at the Academy of Human Resource Development International Research Conference in the Americas (Panama City, FL, Feb 20-24, 2008)
This paper presents the findings of a qualitative study that explored knowledge sharing among members of a community of practice (CoP) in a large, urban high school. Findings suggest that social relationships, informal channels, community culture, levels of trust, and spatial factors influence knowledge sharing, and that CoPs have the potential to foster an organizational culture that supports knowledge sharing. Implications for future research and practice are presented.
