Definition of research constructs

Construct	Definition
Knowledge-sharing culture	“Knowledge-sharing culture is one where people share openly, there is a willingness to teach and mentor others, where ideas can be freely challenged and where knowledge gained from other sources is used” (Smith ve McKeen, 2003: p.6)
Explicit knowledge sharing	“Degree to which one believes that one will engage in an explicit knowledge and sharing act”. (Bock vd., 2005: p.107)
Tacit knowledge sharing	“Tacit (or implicit) knowledge, on the other hand, involves less specifiable insights and skills 'embedded’ in individuals or organizational contexts. It is 'knowing how’, and it is associated with experience” (Connell et al., 2003: p.140)
Organizational creativity	“Organizational creativity is the creation of a valuable, useful new product, service, idea, procedure, or process by individuals working together in a complex social system. It is, therefore, the commonly accepted definition of creative behavior, or the products of such behavior” (Woodman vd., 1993: p.293)
