A Multi-Level Analysis of Inter-Departmental Knowledge Sharing in Government Organizations: Illustrated by the Example of Chengdu

摘要：

　　Inter-departmental knowledge sharing in government organizations is of positive significance to improve the governments managing ability, efficiency of decision-making as well as administrative performance.Concerning researches on the causes of knowledge sharing, most are focused on macro-level factors to explain group creativity.This paper, through social capital-based viewpoints, analyzes the interactions between macro-level factors and micro-level sharing behavior.It investigates 15 groups with 413 members(civil servants) with regard to the impact of group-level social capital on inter-departmental knowledge sharing, and the interaction between multi-level factors.HLM analysis results show: 1) Individual-level social capital in the form of particularistic trust relations positively influences knowledge sharing.2) Power centralization, the group level factor, has a significant impact on civil servants sharing behaviors.It also moderates the effect of particularistic trust on knowledge sharing.
