A multilevel model for effects of social capital and knowledge sharing in knowledge-intensive work teams

作者：

Highlights：

• This study combines a multilevel approach and an optimal network configuration view to examine the impact of social capital.

• The multilevel analysis shows the cross-level effect of team social capital on individuals’ knowledge sharing behavior.

• Social capitals at different levels have distinct influences on individuals’ sharing of explicit and tacit knowledge.

• Individuals’ betweenness centrality and a team's network density have a curvilinear impact on team knowledge sharing.
