Friendship and Knowledge Acquisition

10. Politis J. D. (Jan. 2005). Networking: the relationship between friendship values-sociability and knowledge acquisition attributes. International Journal of Applied Management, ISSN 1742-2590, Vol. 1, Issue 3, Pages 17. (http://managementjournals.com/journals/management/article98.php).

Abstract: Little is known about the effect of sociability and friendship values on the traits and skills of knowledge acquisition in self-managing teams. A survey of 89 individuals organised into 13 self-managing teams was conducted in a service organisation to investigate the relationship between the Hagoel’s friendship dimensions and a number of knowledge acquisition attributes. Results indicate that most, but not all, of Hagoel’s friendship values-sociability are positively related to variables of knowledge acquisition. Theoretical and practical applications of these findings are discussed.

Keywords: friendship values, knowledge acquisition, networking, self-managing teams, sociability
