Abstract

In organizations, knowledge is mainly created by individuals in interaction. What individuals do is determined not only by external influences (the main focus of other studies), but also by their own intrinsic characteristics. As a consequence, it is important to elucidate how some of these characteristics can potentially impact knowledge creation (KC) in organizations. Based on previous research and on empirical data collected from two business organizations operating in Japan, this study found that certain personality traits of the human resources can significantly affect specific KC processes. This finding is discussed in the final section, where the paper concludes emphasizing the possibility to optimize KC in teams through a synergistic scheme that considers not only the technological aspects, but also the human aspects.
