This paper contributes to the knowledge management literature by identifying important conditions for effective knowledge networks. The analysis is based on a survey of 2,517 employees who are members of formal intraorganizational knowledge networks in a multinational company (MNC), and has the following key findings: (1) Formal management of knowledge networks is essential for both knowledge-sharing behavior and knowledge application. (2) Knowledge sharing and application are influenced in different ways by diverse types of motivation. Intrinsic autonomous motivation showed a positive indirect effect on knowledge application through knowledge-sharing behavior, and extrinsic autonomous motivation showed a direct effect on knowledge application but no association with knowledge-sharing behavior. (3) Both formal management of knowledge networks and knowledge-sharing behavior facilitate structural social capital across borders, which is positively associated with knowledge application.
