在知識經濟的時代中，經營知識已成為組織當前最為重要的課題，組織競爭力的優劣端視創新能力的高低，而人力素質的提升與組織整體學習能力的培養均有賴於成人教育的推行，所以成人教育機構對於知識創新的重視應具有示範作用。但從實務的角度觀之，知識創新的內涵複雜並且缺乏一個具體衡量的量表。因此，本研究有其重要性。本研究透過134份的樣本預試及459份的正式樣本施測，復加上專家學者的校正，及探索性因素分析、高階驗證性因素分析等方法，建構適用於成人教育機構的知識創新量表。研究結果發現，此量表的基本適配度、整體適配度以及內在品質考驗皆達統計水準，並且知識創新的衡量構面共可分為組織情境的建構，包含有創造性工作環境、獎勵制度、組織學習以及資源的使用四個因素；知識的產生，包含有知識創造以及知識獲取二因素；知識的應用，包含有知識移轉以及知識評估二因素；以及知識的傳播，包含有知識擴散及知識分享二因素。

In century 21, is a knowledge economy age of wise capital more valuable them visible capital, land, equipment, money has been replaced by knowledge which become the key essence of economy. Knowledge, as intellectual capital of organizations, is the most valuable resource at the age of New Economy. Managing knowledge, including knowledge collecting, knowledge sharing, knowledge application, knowledge transferring and knowledge creation, has been recognized as a critical competitive asset of organizations. Without constant innovations, a organization will get behind in this knowledge world. For this reason, an organization has to conduct its knowledge to share and put them into action in ways that will improve organizational performance. The result shows that the concept of knowledge innovation involves the structure of organizational situation, the production of knowledge, the application of knowledge and the dissemination of knowledge. The scale of knowledge innovation designed by that dynamic process has four modes: (1) organizational situation; (2) knowledge production; (3) knowledge application; and (4) knowledge dissemination. Moreover, the four factors of organizational situation are creating working place, rewarding system, organizational learning and the using of resource. Knowledge production includes knowledge initiation and knowledge obtainment; however, knowledge transferring and knowledge evaluation are involved by knowledge application. At the same time, knowledge dissemination has two factors; knowledge extension and knowledge sharing.
