Title: Impact of Using Electronic
Collaborative
Media on Knowledge Sharing Phases
Abstract: The
advances
in computers and communication technologies have enabled many companies
to
leverage knowledge. The emerging powerful systems such as internet,
intranet,
Lotus Notes, and conferencing systems allow people to collaborate and
share
their complementary knowledge, without overly constraining them to
geographic
location and time. Therefore, Organizations especially those adapting
to
rapidly changing environments, face the challenge of being able to use
these
technologies, in order to gain knowledge sharing effectively within
highly
constrained timeframes. This study came to explore the effect of
using electronic collaborative media
on knowledge sharing phases. This study investigated a sample formed of
(180)
individuals operating in a number of hospitals within the Jordanian
health
sector; using the electronic collaborative system, to perform its
different
duties. In order to achieve this purpose the study proposed the
following
hypotheses: using of electronic collaborative media is positively
influences
on the knowledge sharing phases. The study concluded some important
results
such as that among the most important electronic collaborative media
used
in knowledge sharing in the hospitals subject to research are the E-
mail
and video conferencing, and existence of a significant effect between
using
the electronic collaborative media and the knowledge sharing process in
the
researched hospitals.
