摘要
儘管外派人員知識分享的研究逐漸增多，但仍欠缺探討外派人員的地主國社會網絡和人格特質對於知識分享影響的研究。本研究承接前研究探討外派人員的地主國社會網絡和人格特質對於知識分享的影響，以及知識特性所扮演的情境調節角色。本研究認為：(1)外派人員和地主國員工(HCNs)之間的工具性以及情感性連結強度愈強，愈傾向分享知識。(2)具備高度核心自我評價(CSE)的外派人員傾向分享知識給HCNs，並且和HCNs發展強烈的工具性與情感性連結。(3)知識內隱性程度愈高，外派人員的工具性連結／情感性連結／CSE與知識分享行為之間的正向關係愈弱。本研究亦探討研究意涵以及未來研究方向。

Although the study of expatriate knowledge sharing is attracting attention increasingly, it is still lacking of exploration about the effects of expatriate social network in host country and personality on their knowledge sharing. This study undertakes the previous studies to investigate the effects of expatriate social network in host country and personality on their knowledge sharing, and the moderating role of knowledge characteristics. We propose that: (1) The stronger strength of instrumental and expressive ties, between expatriates and host country nationals (HCNs), then expatriates will be inclined to share knowledge. (2) Expatriates with strong core self-revaluations (CSE) tend to develop stronger instrumental and expressive ties with HCNs. (3) With higher knowledge tacit, then the relationship between expatriate instrumental ties/expressive ties/CSE and knowledge sharing behavior will be weaker. The implications and suggestions for future study were also discussed.
