The Study of Crowdsourcing in Knowledge Management: The Role of Employees\u27 Innovative Behavior on Job Performance
Employees are a main source of innovative ideas via their insights on companiesâ products, processes, customers, and competitors. Enterprise crowdsourcing systems (ECSs) are used to collect, refine, and realize ideas. However, only a small percentage of employees submit ideas â about 7.7% at Pfizer, 2% at HCL Technologies, and 3% at Polaris Industries. Why is employee participation low? More specifically, what factors can lead employees to actively use ECS to submit and share their innovative ideas for improving their job performance? In this research, we used a multi-actor dyadic survey to survey 183 employees and their managers and conducted data analysis to understand the impact of ECS factors on employeesâ job performance. Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach using Smart PLS was used to test both the measurement and structural models, and the results lend support for the proposed research model. The findings of the study confirm that knowledge sharing and employeesâ cognitive features have a positive effect on effective knowledge application (EKA), and in turn, EKA increases employeesâ ECS satisfaction, innovative behavior, and job performance. The study also confirmed that employeesâ ECS satisfaction and innovative behavior have a positive effect on their job performance. The findings of this study can help organizations refine their ECSs and innovation initiatives to increase employeesâ participation, innovative behavior, and job performance by enabling and supporting knowledge sharing among them, and implementing ECS with a solid, reward system meeting employeesâ intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors
How ECS Improve Creative Use of Employeesâ Knowledge?
Recently, organizations are using crowdsourcing systems (CSs) to collect innovative ideas from their employees harnessing their insights of companiesâ products, processes, customers, and competitors. While crowd workers in third-party CSs are a diverse and multifaceted population with a range of motives and experience, and yet few researchers have grappled with the facilitators of the employeesâ behavior comprising the creative application of their knowledge using enterprise CSs. This study develops a theoretical framework to identify enterprise CSs role and to provide the way how CSs are related to creative behavior via knowledge sharing. In this research, we used a survey to collect data from organizational employees and conducted data analysis to understand how enterprise CSs affect employeesâ creative knowledge application. The findings of this study can help organization refine their ECSs and innovative initiatives

The Role of Enterprise Crowdsourcing Systems on Knowledge Application
Organizations are using crowdsourcing systems to collect innovative ideas from their employees harnessing their insights of companiesâ products, processes, customers, and competitors. While crowd workers in third-party crowdsourcing systems are a diverse and multifaceted population with a range of motives and experience, and yet few researchers have grappled with the facilitators of the employeesâ behavior comprising the creative application of their knowledge using enterprise crowdsourcing systems (ECSs). This study develops a theoretical framework to identify ECS\u27s role and to provide the way how ECSs are related to creative behavior via knowledge sharing. The results reveal that ECS increases knowledge sharing and fully or partially effective ECS use through knowledge sharing. This could make knowledge sharing a critical factor to facilitate employeesâ creative work by way of an intermediary. The findings of this study can help organization refine their ECS and creative initiatives
