Effects of Information Technology Function on Tacit Knowledge Transfer Effectiveness

This paper empirically analyzes the effects of information technology function on tacit knowledge transfer effectiveness. The functions of information technology are summarized as follows: feedback, symbol variety, parallelism, rehearsability, reprocessability. The effects of information technology function and the moderating effects of common experience of both sides on tacit knowledge transfer effectiveness are analyzed through multiple linear regression model. The results show that, feedback, parallelism, rehearsability, reprocessability functions of information technology have a significant impact on tacit knowledge transfer effectiveness. Meanwhile, the familiar degree of both parties involved in knowledge transfer, and the familiar degree between the exchange theme and both parties have positive moderating effects on tacit knowledge transfer effectiveness based on information technology.
