چکیده

امروزه اشتراک‌گذاری کارآمد دانش شانس بقای سازمان‌ها را افزایش داده و به‌عنوان یک منبع راهبردی برای بهبود بهره‌وری سازمان‌ها در نظر گرفته می‌شود. هدف از انجام این پژوهش شناسایی ذهنیت‌های اشتراک‌گذاری دانش در بین کارکنان نسل Z در یک مرکز آموزشی پژوهشی دفاعی در دانشگاه صنعتی مالک اشتر است. پژوهش حاضر ازنظر هدف کاربردی، به لحاظ روش توصیفی، از حیث جمع‌آوری داده‌ها کمی و کیفی (آمیخته) و ازنظر افق زمانی نیز مقطعی است و تا آنجائیکه محققین بررسی نموده اندپژوهشی با این عنوان انجام نشده است. جامعه آماری تحقیق متشکل از 20 نفر از کارکنان نسل Z (متولدین سال 1373 به بعد) و چند نفر از اعضای هیئت علمی دانشگاه بودند که به صورت هدفمند انتخاب شده اند. برای تحلیل داده‌های آماری گردآوری‌شده از روش‌شناسی کیو استفاده‌شده است. در تحقیق حاضر پس از بررسی ادبیات موضوع و انجام مصاحبه با چند خبره دانشگاهی گزاره‌های متفاوتی نسبت به موضوع پژوهش (36 شاخص) شناسایی و استخراج گردیدند. سپس جداول کیو توسط 20 نفر از مشارکت‌کنندگان در تحقیق تکمیل گردیدند و داده‌های جمع‌آوری‌شده به روش تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی تحلیل شد. هفت ذهنیت و دیدگاه مختلف بانام‌های حس خوب اشتراک‌گذاری دانش ، رهبری دانش‌محور ، کار تیمی ، نظام پاداش دهی‌ ، ادراک منافع نسبی ، رضایت شغلی و تعهد سازمانی شناسایی کشف و شناسایی گردید که جمعاً 77 درصد واریانس کل را تبیین و پوشش می‌دهند.

چکیده [English]

Today, the efficient sharing of knowledge increases the chances of survival of organizations and is considered as a strategic resource for improving the productivity of organizations. The purpose of this research is to identify knowledge sharing mindsets among generation Z employees in a defense research training center in Malik Ashtar University of Technology. The current research is cross-sectional in terms of practical purpose, in terms of descriptive method, in terms of quantitative and qualitative (mixed) data collection, and in terms of time horizon, and as far as the researchers have investigated, no research with this title has been conducted. The statistical population of the research consisted of 20 employees of generation Z (born in 1373 and later) and several university faculty members who were selected purposefully. Q methodology has been used to analyze the collected statistical data. In this research, after reviewing the subject literature and conducting interviews with several university experts, different propositions regarding the research topic (36 indicators) were identified and extracted. Then the questionnaires were completed by 20 participants in the research and the collected data were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis. Seven different mentalities and viewpoints with the names of good sense of knowledge sharing, knowledge-oriented leadership, teamwork, reward system, perception of relative benefits, job satisfaction and organizational commitment were discovered and identified, which explain and cover 77% of the total variance.
