Factors Shaping Knowledge Sharing Behaviour in Remote Work

Abstract

The discussions that take place in the literature on the subject in relation to the advantages or disadvantages of remote work take on additional significance if employees representing the youngest generation of employees are taken as a reference point. For representatives of this generation, the communication tools used in remote work dominate over the form of direct communication. Through them, young employees build relationships, learn, acquire knowledge and share it. However, the results of the research draw attention to the fact that in relation to Generation Z, there may be problems related to the exchange of knowledge understood as learning and teaching others, which may result from different generational characteristics, including professed values, attitude to work and expectations towards it. The research results presented in the study are part of a quantitative survey on "Managerial aspects of remote work management", carried out among young people working remotely. The survey was carried out in December 2022 and analysed areas of remote work such as knowledge exchange/learning, communication, work organization, WLB, motivation and employee relations. The study diagnoses measurement models using structural modeling (SEM) in the field of latent factors.  The analyses were carried out using IBM SPSS and IBM SPSS AMOS software.
