Its research results show that: 1) the factors of OKT process have a construct of four variables, which are named as demand-inspirit-relation, trust, learning, and embedding; 2) demand-inspirit-relations and learning factor have a positive effect on knowledge transforming in all levels, and trust factor has a positive effect only in individual level, but no significant effects in team and organisational level, then the effects of embedding factor are also not significant in all levels.
