Abstract

The theoretical framework of knowledge management system (KMS) was used to examine the effect of organizational climate and knowledge transfer on learning transfer, and the moderating effects of organizational climate on the influence of knowledge transfer in learning transfer. The participants were 335 EMBA students. Hierarchical regression was employed for confirming the research model. The results showed that organizational climate and knowledge transfer had a significantly positive effect on learning transfer; organizational climate had a significantly positive effect on knowledge transfer; and organizational climate had a positive moderating effect on the influence of knowledge transfer in learning transfer. This study extended the KMS model to include the moderating effect of organizational climate, which was the main contribution of this study.
