Technological Knowledge and its Impact on Knowledge Creation: An Analytical Study of the Opinions of a Sample of Employees in Zain Telecom Company
Keywords:
knowledge creation, Technological knowledgeAbstract
The issue of Technological knowledge and knowledge creationin recent decades has received prominent attention by most researchers, That is, the goal of the current study lies in diagnosing the relationship between Technological knowledge and knowledge creation, by identifying the role played by (Technological knowledge) as one-dimensional, in improving the effectiveness of dealing with knowledge creation by its dimensions (socialization, exemalization, combination, internalization).As for the second main hypothesis (there is an impact of the Technological knowledge in knowledge creation), and therefore in order to diagnose this relationship, the opinions of 110 employees of the Zain Telecom Company.
were surveyed, and (110) were recovered, valid for analysis, at a rate of (100%), Use SPSS.V24,a set of statistical methods were adopted, such as the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient Person, regression coefficient, deviation coefficient R2 and Cronbach's alpha coefficient to test the validity of the study's hypotheses. The study determined the first main hypothesis, which is that there is a statistically significant correlation between the Technological knowledge and knowledge creation, The results were summarized to the existence of a correlation and a statistically significant effect of the Technological knowledgein knowledge creationto indicate the socialization of the employees of the Zain Telecom Company, which improves dealing with knowledge creation in order to ensure the development and balance between the Technological knowledgeand the skills of dealing with knowledge creation among the employees of the Zain Telecom Company.
