Abstract
Despite several decades of program production experience, the knowledge-sharing process in television program production remains vague and inefficient. The present study aimed to pathology the knowledge-sharing process in television program production. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach and Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis method. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 experienced managers, researchers, and producers involved in television program production and were subsequently analyzed. The findings indicated that the barriers to knowledge sharing can be classified into three main categories: cultural, organizational, and technological. In-depth analysis revealed that these three categories of barriers operate in a networked, interactive, and self-reinforcing manner. Cultural barriers create the conditions for organizational deficiencies and resistance to technology; structural weaknesses limit investment in and the application of knowledge-related technologies; and technological shortcomings slow down organizational learning and hinder cultural and structural reforms. Drawing upon Nonaka and Takeuchi Knowledge Spiral, the present study conceptualizes this network as disruptions in the knowledge creation cycle and proposes an integrative conceptual model illustrating the three-dimensional interactions. Based on the findings, practical recommendations are offered across cultural, organizational, and technological levels. The simultaneous implementation of these strategies can transform the existing vicious cycle into a virtuous one
