Knowledge Sharing and Learning through Virtual Communities of Practice
Virtual communities of practice (VCoPs ) are increasingly viewed as an important vehicle of learning and knowledge sharing in the workplace. This paper proposes a framework for understanding motivators, barriers and enablers for successful online knowledge sharing and learning in VCoPs. The framework includes such motivationalfactors as utilitarian considerations, value-based considerations, and sense of community and belonging. In addition, the framework covers a number of barriers to online knowledge sharing, including interpersonal factors, procedural and use of technology-related factors, and cultural norms. Three enablers of VCoP knowledge sharing include supportive organizational culture, personal knowledge- based trust, and availability of adequate tools.
