Cultural Differences in Knowledge Sharing in Virtual Environment

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The open talent economy is currently being developed, and a significant part of knowledge workers are moving onto online market places where they work as freelancers instead of working under traditional employment contracts, thus performing a significant part of their work or even all of it in a virtual environment. In this environment they also communicate with their managers or coworkers. This environment is naturally multicultural - workers often collaborate with people from various national cultures. In this article we have sought to answer the following research question: how does the fact that a person is a member of a national culture influence their attitude to knowledge sharing? By knowledge sharing we mean a bipartisan process - both demand for knowledge and providing available knowledge. To answer this question we have used an analysis of available studies on the influence of one's national culture on knowledge sharing, both generally and specifically in a virtual environment. With regard to the current economic position of the countries in the Asia-Pacific region we have mainly focused on the differences among cultures which are considered as Western or Eastern. The main contribution of this article is connecting managerial studies with sociological and psychological findings.
