Abstract
This paper aims to propose that knowledge management strategies (KMS) and transformational leadership (TFL) could be ways of enhancing the two components of individual creativity (domain-relevant skills and creative-thinking skills), as well as examine the mediating role of knowledge sharing (KS). A theoretical model concerning the connections between two KMS (codification and personalization), TFL, and the two components of individual creativity is proposed. The model is then empirically tested using partial least squares (PLS) of a survey data set of 287 employees of 42 companies in South Korea. TFL is significantly linked with the domain-relevant skills and creative-thinking skills via KS. Further, codification and personalization strategies are only indirectly associated with domain-relevant skills via KS. This paper produces knowledge on a type of consequence of KMS that has been largely unexplored in previous research, the effect of KMS on individual creativity. Also, it promotes moving the KM literature to the next stage where the impact of KM practices is a contingent and contextual issue.
