This is a cross-cultural study of how groups and organizations retain and share organizational knowledge via transactive memory (TM) systems. TM systems are knowledge retention systems focused not on knowledge per se but on knowledge about where knowledge resides. The study is original in three key ways. First, it bridges the divide between organizational behavior and information systems by investigating the interplay between human TM systems (i.e., one-to-one human connections) and technological TM systems (i.e., one-to-many communal, cyberenabled systems). Second, it examines how human affect influences the development and functioning of TM systems at multiple levels: between individuals, among groups and throughout networks of individuals and groups. Third, it examines the development and usage of connective and communal TM systems in different nations: US and China. In addition to testing theories related to TM, the results of this research should help teams, their managers, their organizations, and their networks of partners to better manage crucial knowledge resources, including insights about how best to deal with cultural differences in a globalizing economy.

这是一项关于群体和组织如何通过交互记忆（TM）系统保留和共享组织知识的跨文化研究。TM系统是一种知识保留系统，它关注的不是知识本身，而是关于知识所在位置的知识。这项研究在三个关键方面具有独创性。首先，它通过研究人类TM系统（例如，一对一的人类联系）和技术TM系统（例如，一对多公共的、网络支持的系统）之间的相互作用，弥合了组织行为和信息系统之间的鸿沟。其次，它研究了人类影响如何在多个层面上影响TM系统的发展和功能：个人之间，群体之间以及整个个人和群体网络。第三，它考察了不同国家（美国和中国）连接和公共TM系统的发展和使用。除了测试与TM相关的理论外，本研究的结果应该有助于团队、管理者、组织和合作伙伴网络更好地管理关键知识资源，包括如何在全球化经济中最好地处理文化差异的见解。
