随着全球化和知识经济的崛起，团队合作正成为企业管理和竞争的焦点。而如何有效运用团队中不同专业背景的成员的知识技能来改善团队绩效则是企业面临的一个重要问题，也是管理领域的一个国际研究热点。交互记忆系统，作为一种强调成员可信、专长和协调的新型团队合作模式，正引起企业的广泛关注。本项目将采取案例、调研和行动研究方法，全面分析交互记忆系统的作用机制。主要研究内容包括：（1）交互记忆系统对知识管理成果的影响；（2）知识管理成果对团队绩效的影响及在交互记忆系统与团队绩效关系中的中介作用；（3）社会关系和信息技术能力对以上机制的调节作用。本项目的创新之处是综合考虑个人层、团队层、以及企业层的因素，运用实证调研和行动研究方法来探析交互记忆系统的作用机制。研究成果将深化对交互记忆系统的现有认识，丰富知识管理和信息系统管理的理论体系，对企业运用交互记忆系统改善团队绩效具有现实指导意义和借鉴作用。

With the development of globalization and the knowledge economy, teamwork is becoming the focus of management and competition in organizations. Hence, how to enhance team cooperation, especially in the context where team members come from different departments and have different education backgrounds, is an important issue confronted by many firms. Transactive Memory Systems (TMS), as a cooperation mechanism which emphasizes credibility, specialization and coordination, has been considered by many companies. Past research confirmed TMS's positive influence on team performance. However, little attention has been paid on the factors that underlie TMS success. In this project, we will combine qualitative and quantitative research to explore how TMS leads to team performance mediated by knowledge management outcomes. We aim to investigate 1) three dimensions of TMS effect on two classifications of knowledge management outcomes; 2) the impact of knowledge management outcomes on team performance and the mediating effects; 3) the moderating effects of social ties and IT support. We intend to integrate factors from individual level, team level and firm level to explore TMS mechanisms. Results of the project will advance the theoretical development of TMS and contribute to a better understanding of integration of knowledge management and information systems management. In addition, practical implications that guide firms utilization of TMS to improve team performance will also be obtained.
