The study aimed to investigate the relationships between intra-organizational knowledge sharing and the absorptive capacity of a company - under conditions of two mediators: job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Identifying the relationships between these variables contributes to the development of the literature in the field of strategic management concerning the mechanisms creating the absorptive capacity of the company. Absorptive capacity is understood as the ability to acquire, assimilate, transform, and exploit useful external knowledge. The object of study was a company specializing in the production of high-quality insulating glass and special glass - one of the leading producers in this line of business in Poland. To test the hypotheses, the author performed the regression analysis, which revealed a direct relationship between the process of knowledge sharing and absorptive capacity. Above all, the results achieved show that intra-organizational knowledge absorption and transmission stimulates an increase in job satisfaction, which in turn leads to an increase in organizational commitment. Both changes result in a perceptible increase in the absorptive capacity of the examined company. The observed double-mediating effect constitutes the added value of the above investigations.

The aim of this paper is to recognize the relationships between individual and organizational learning while considering team learning as a mediator of these relationships. The research object is a large Polish enterprise specializing in the production of cast-iron items. In order to test assumed research hypotheses, statistical analyses were conducted using the IBM SPSS Statistics Suite, version 20. The suite helped conduct correlation analyses concatenation, line regression analyses and mediation analyses using the PROCESS macro by Hayes and Preacher. The research results show a statistically significant relationship between individual learning and each of the five dimensions of organizational learning [clarity of purpose and mission; leadership commitment and empowerment; knowledge transfer; experimentation and rewards; and teamwork and group problem solving]. What is more, they prove that team learning is a mediator of a relationship between individual and organizational learning. Interestingly, only one full mediation has been observed while researching the mediative effect of team learning in relation to each out of the five dimensions of organizational learning. It occurred in relation to experimentation and rewards. In the remaining cases these were partial mediations.

Celem niniejszych rozważań było zbadanie zależności występujących pomiędzy ambidexterity (równoczesną wymianą wiedzy i ochroną wiedzy) a zdolnością absorpcyjną, przy uwzględnieniu otwartości na wiedzę zewnętrzną w roli moderatora. W celu przetestowania hipotez wykonano szereg analiz regresji oraz przeprowadzono analizę SEM dla modelu moderacyjnego. Wartością dodaną niniejszych badań jest wykazanie bezpośredniego wpływu ambidexterity na potencjalną i faktyczną zdolność absorpcyjną. Okazało się również, że otwartość na wiedzę zewnętrzną nie jest moderatorem rozpatrywanej zależności. Mimo to odnotowano bezpośredni wpływ tej zmiennej na trzy wymiary zdolności absorpcyjnej, tzn. na nabycie, asymilację i eksploatację. W związku z tym uznać należy, że zarówno ambidexterity, jak i otwartość na wiedzę (jako zmienne niezależne) istotnie wpływają na potencjalną i faktyczną zdolność absorpcyjną. Zaprezentowane wnioski uznać należy za wkład do literatury z zakresu zarządzania strategicznego.

The last decade has seen a distinct increase in the frequency of the appearance of virtual teams within contemporary organizations. As knowledge sharing within the virtual team leads to better team performance, a deeper understanding of enabling organizational capabilities is highly relevant to both researchers and managers. Therefore, in this paper we focus on the concept of "internal change agent support". More specifically, we use a qualitative research design to study the role of internal agent support within the relationship between knowledge sharing and virtual team performance. A theoretical model was built and verified by means of structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The authors found that internal change agent support has a moderating effect on relationship between knowledge sharing and the virtual team performance and the knowledge sharing within the virtual team influences positively virtual team performance. These results add to the emerging academic discussion on continuous change management within dispersed teams. Our findings are also relevant to managerial practice as they suggest how to facilitate the process of knowledge sharing in a team, thus improving its efficiency.
