项目驱动型企业权力配置与知识集成的适配机理：知识治理视角的案例研究

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 有效的知识集成已经成为项目驱动型企业构建核心竞争力的关键，然而其非自组织特征亟需知识治理层面的组织制度保障。权力配置作为典型的知识治理机制，被认为在赋予知识集成合法性和提供集成资源等方面扮演重要角色。但是面向不同的组织情境和治理逻辑，项目驱动型企业权力配置如何与知识集成相适配尚缺乏有力的理论解释。本文采用多案例研究方法，以四家典型的项目驱动型企业为研究对象，探讨权力配置与知识集成的适配机理。研究发现项目驱动型企业权力配置与知识集成存在四种典型的适配模式，并识别出影响适配模式选择的组织规范性及环境不确定性两个关键情境因素。研究结果从权力配置与知识集成适配性的边界条件方面拓展了知识治理研究，为项目驱动型企业权变性选择权力配置方式以最优化知识集成效果提供了有益参考。

Abstract: Knowledge integration is of great strategic significance for project-based organizations (PBOs) to form their core competitiveness. However, its non-self-organizing characteristic is in urgent need of organizational system guarantee at the level of knowledge governance. As a formal governance mechanism, allocation of authority is considered to play an important role in the process of knowledge integration due to its functions of granting legitimacy to integrated knowledge and enabling the authority subject to obtain resources available for integration. However, facing different organizational situations and governance logic, there is still a lack of strong theoretical explanation on how allocation of authority of PBOs fits with knowledge integration. Therefore, this research adopts a multi-case study method and analyzes four PBOs to explore the matching relationships between authority allocation and knowledge integration. The study finds there are four typical matching relationships between authority allocation and knowledge integration in PBOs. Two situational factors, organizational normativeness and environmental uncertainty, are identified as critical contingencies that influence the matching relationships. The research results extend the knowledge governance research of PBOs from the boundary conditions of the matching relationship between authority allocation and knowledge integration, and provide useful reference for PBOs to set authority allocation for a better effect of knowledge integration.
