Purpose

This study aims to empirically investigate how knowledge paradox affects collaboration performance. Knowledge paradox, which arises from the simultaneous need for knowledge sharing and protection, is common in interorganizational collaboration. Using the ambidexterity perspective, this paper aims to reexamine the effect of the knowledge paradox on collaborative performance to explore the moderating roles of structural and contextual ambidexterity.

Design/methodology/approach

This study used a sample of 153 firms involved in vertical and horizontal collaboration, collected via questionnaires. Hypotheses were tested using hierarchical regression analysis.

Findings

This study demonstrates that the stronger the knowledge paradox is, the higher the potential for value creation. Thus, knowledge paradox has a positive impact on collaborative performance. The functions of structural ambidexterity and contextual ambidexterity strengthen this positive relationship.

Originality/value

This paper not only expands the theoretical application of the knowledge paradox and ambidexterity theory in the context of interorganizational relationships but also provides significant managerial implications. By comprehending the dynamics of the knowledge paradox and the role of ambidexterity, managers can make well-informed decisions to enhance their collaborative performance.

重新审视知识悖论与协作绩效之间的关系

 目的

本研究旨在实证调查知识悖论如何影响协作绩效。知识悖论是由于同时需要知识共享和保护而产生的，在组织间协作中很常见。本文旨在使用二元性的角度，重新审视知识悖论对协作绩效的影响，以探索结构和上下文二元性的调节作用。

设计/方法/方法

本研究使用了 153 家参与纵向和横向合作的公司样本，这些公司通过问卷收集。使用分层回归分析对假设进行测试。

 发现

这项研究表明，知识悖论越强大，创造价值的潜力就越大。因此，知识悖论对协作绩效有积极影响。结构二元性和上下文二元性的功能加强了这种积极的关系。

 原创性/价值

本文不仅扩展了知识悖论和双元性理论在组织间关系背景下的理论应用，而且还提供了重要的管理意义。通过理解知识悖论的动态和双元性的作用，管理者可以做出明智的决策来提高他们的协作绩效。
