Purpose – This paper seeks to present an innovative scale that sheds light on the ways in which intentions to share explicit and tacit knowledge impact actual knowledge-sharing behavior. Design/methodology/approach – Survey data were collected from a total of 278 hi-tech workers. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to assess the research model. Findings – SEM shows that the intention to...

" The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny ...' " Isaac Asimov (Science fiction novelist & scholar: 1920-1992) As the quote above illustrates, there are facets of the scientific process that are prompted by feelings of intuition. Although this notion may seem closer to stereotypes of art than science, the...

In data exchange, one is typically given a source database instance and a mapping between a source schema and a target schema. The goal then is to materialize a target database instance that corresponds to the source instance and the mapping. In this setting source data is explicitly given, that is, every fact that is true in it is explicitly mentioned in the source database instance. Knowledge...

Abstract This paper puts forward a research agenda in the area of explicit and implicit knowledge learning second or additional languages. Based on brief overview reliable findings as well open questions field, three items are highlighted. First, valid measures and, particular, need to be identified their suitability for participants different ages established. Second, closely related previous ...

Sleep consolidates newly acquired memories. Beyond stabilizing memories, sleep is thought to reorganize memory representations such that invariant structures, statistical regularities and even new explicit knowledge are extracted. Whereas increasing evidence suggests that the stabilization of memories during sleep can be facilitated by cueing with learning-associated stimuli, the effect of cuei...
