This study advances the research on teachers' knowledge-sharing and knowledge-transfer by looking at social capital as a mediator of school knowledge-governance. A survey will be conducted using a sample of junior high school teachers in Taiwan. The data will be collected from selected raters via stratified random sampling. The questionnaire has 2 sections: the first half comprises antecedent-related items (school knowledge governance) and mediator variables (teachers' social capital); the second half comprises outcome variable-related items (knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer among teachers). To analyze the data thoroughly, we examined the validity of the measurements for school knowledge governance, teachers' social capital, knowledge-sharing among teachers, and knowledge-transfer among teachers via confirmatory factor analysis. School knowledge governance within organizational contexts had a cross-level effect at the individual level on knowledge-sharing and knowledge-transfer among teachers. To further understand this, we adopted multilevel mediation analysis to examine the relationship between and among variables as well as the mediating effect of teachers' social capital. The conclusions of this study are as follows: (1) School knowledge-governance positively affects knowledge-sharing among teachers. (2) School knowledge-governance positively affects knowledge-transfer among teachers. (3) Teachers' social capital has a mediating effect on school knowledge-governance and knowledge-sharing among teachers. (4) Teachers' social capital has a mediating effect on school knowledge-governance and knowledge-transfer among teachers. The contributions of this study include the further exploration of the mediating effects exerted by teachers' social capital on knowledge-sharing and knowledge-transfer among teachers; the study provides a comprehensive empirical model of school knowledge-governance. Methodologically, hierarchical linear models have been applied to analyze the relationship between and among variables across various levels. |
