Abstract

Knowledge sharing plays a pivotal role in sustainable construction as it enables organizations to enhance quality, productivity, and innovation. Most of the knowledge generated in construction projects is tacit. It resides in people’s minds and is difficult to share. Due to the inherently temporary structure of projects, the effective capture and transfer of tacit knowledge are often impeded once the project team is disbanded. While state-owned construction enterprises serve as a fundamental pillar of national economy, the methods to actualize the tacit knowledge sharing within these organization are infrequently studied. The purposes of this paper are (1) to investigate the implementation of tacit knowledge sharing in the state-owned construction company; and (2) to explore the barriers encountered in knowledge sharing within state-owned construction enterprises. The study employed exploratory method using thematic analysis. Semi-structured interviewees to the top management of state-owned constructed companies were used to gather the data. The results have shown five ways in sharing tacit knowledge within state-owned construction companies. A model of tacit knowledge management is also proposed. This study contributes valuable insight into knowledge sharing, particularly in tacit area and within state-owned construction enterprises.
