In today’s convergence era, the knowledge integration capability of knowledge workers is crucial for developing new products or services. This study investigates the impacts of social and technical factors on employee’s knowledge integration capability and knowledge creation. The results of structural equation modeling indicate that employee’s knowledge integration has strong relationship with their knowledge creation. The results also suggest that employee’s thinking ability, knowledge complexity, and expertise are the significant predictors of their knowledge integration. Interestingly, the technical factor, i.e., supportive technologies, was not significant in influencing employee’s knowledge integration.
