Abstract: While both knowledge sharing and expertise dissimilarity have attracted much scholarly attention in recent years, there has been little research investigating how different types of knowledge sharing (i.e., explicit knowledge sharing and tacit knowledge sharing) and expertise dissimilarity interactively affect team members’ individual behaviors. Drawing on the work by Huang, Hsieh, and He (2008), this study examines how expertise dissimilarity and knowledge sharing jointly affect individual creative behaviors, performance, and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB). We conducted a large scale survey to collect data from 188 members of 54 project teams in the major telecom research institutes in China. Our findings include the following: (1) Explicit knowledge sharing among team members negatively moderates the individual-level relationship between expertise dissimilarity and creative behaviors. (2) Tacit knowledge sharing among team members positively moderates the individual-level relationship between expertise dissimilarity and performance; but explicit knowledge sharing among team members negatively moderates the individual-level relationship between expertise dissimilarity and performance. (3) Tacit knowledge sharing among team members positively moderates the individual-level relationship between expertise dissimilarity and organization citizenship behavior-individual (OCBI); but explicit knowledge sharing among team members negatively moderates the individual-level relationship between expertise dissimilarity and OCBI. (4) Explicit knowledge sharing among team members negatively moderates the organizational-level relationship between expertise dissimilarity and organization citizenship behavior-organization (OCBO).
