Abstract
This study examined the relationships among KM (knowledge creation, sharing), professional development, therapy team’s (TT’s) operation modes, interaction modes and collaborative technologies’ use determinants. A sample survey research design and mixed methods approach that combined quantitative research methods guided the study. Quantitative data was collected from 283 therapy team members in two psychiatric hospitals in Nigeria using a self-administered questionnaire. SPSS version 22 and SPSS (AMOS) version 23 were used to analyse the data. Knowledge creation and knowledge sharing impacted significantly on professional development. Therapy team members’ Intellectual capability, increased innovation, disciplinary specialisation and professional learning are dependent on their creation and sharing of knowledge. Disciplinary socialisation, transdisciplinary socialisation, collaboration and communication summarise their day-to-day operations. Collaboration and knowledge creation and sharing have a very strong relationship. Working together with colleagues is directly related with creation and sharing of both tacit and explicit knowledge. Learning by practical experience, brainstorming of ideas, sharing of clinical information and best practice of medical profession are positively impacted by collaboration. Documentation of such knowledge is needed to promote its sharing and safeguard knowledge loss in psychiatric hospitals.
